Vitamin C Forum

is it any danger in usein Ascorbic acid on the skin?
like would it cause a person to break out in any way?
and i know they have something call L ascorbic acid for using on the skin but it cost so much like 80bucks
well anyway that is my question.

Ascorbic acid powder is sometimes mixed with a little water to make a paste and applied to cancerous and non-cancerous skin lesions. The lesions just drop off. Some individuals may have reactions to ascorbic acid applied directly on the skin.

Preparations for the skin, made popular by Dr. Perricone have a base of a form of vitamin C called Ascorbyl Palmitate.
There are numerous creams, gels, and serums made with this at all Health Food stores; some also carry Ascorbyl Palmitate Powder by Source Naturals.
