C E FERULIC – VOTED #1 BY NEW SKIN Oasis’S STAFF AND CUSTOMERS

Exciting advances have been made in skin care science just in the past year. This means that the consumer now has the opportunity to possess healthy skin as never before. And remember, healthy skin means a healthy first defense to your body’s overall good health.

The staff at New Skin Oasis, along with our customers, has voted C E Ferulic by SkinCeuticals as the #1 antioxidant on the market. And we believe C E Ferulic will hold that top position for a long time. Currently no other antioxidant for the skin even comes close, and plenty of scientific evidence exists to backup our claim about this truly revolutionary antioxidant. Below are answers to frequently-asked questions about C E Ferulic.

Q I understand the importance of antioxidants in one’s diet, but why do I need to apply an antioxidant to my skin? Won’t it get washed off or sweated off before it has time to do any good?

A: Consider this: skin is the largest organ of the body, its first line of defense against harmful bacteria and free radicals. So doesn’t it make sense that the most effective antioxidant is one that protects and repairs the skin?
But only recently has an effective topical antioxidant been developed. That’s because Vitamin C (particularly) and Vitamin E are naturally unstable. In fact, it took a 10-year collaborative effort by researchers and dermatologists at three of our country’s most prestigious universities—Duke, Harvard, and Stanford—to develop a form of Vitamin C capable of penetrating the first layer of skin (the epidermis) and arrive in the dermis in a stable, useable form. The only form with that capability is L-Ascorbic Acid. It’s an important word to remember because there are a number of Vitamin C derivatives commonly used in skin-care products that are ineffective. Some to watch out for are ascorbyl palmitate, sodium ascorbic acid, potassium ascorbate, and magnesium ascorbate. While these forms of Vitamin C can be useful for other purposes, they do little or nothing to help the skin.
It’s also important that topical applications contain a high concentration of L-Ascorbic Acid—at least 10%. C E Ferulic contains 15% pure, pharmaceutical-grade L-Ascorbic Acid.
And you needn’t worry about C E Ferulic being washed off or perspired away before it does its job. That’s because it doesn’t stay on the epidermis; instead it absorbs into the dermis where it takes 3-4 days to be used up by surrounding cells.

Q: What role does Vitamin E and Ferulic Acid play in SkinCeuticals’ C E Ferulic?

A: Vitamin E has long been known to have healing and restorative qualities when applied topically to the skin. Again, extensive research has determined that not just any form of Vitamin E will do, that only one—Alpha Tocopherol—can be utilized in the dermis.
Extensive research has shown that L-Ascorbic Acid and Alpha Tocopherol work synergistically—meaning both together are more effective than either ingredient alone. The proper ratio is also essential: 15% L-Ascorbic Acid and 1% Alpha Tocopherol. The precise percentages in C E Ferulic.
The good news doesn’t stop there. Add to the mix .05% Ferulic Acid, a compound found in the seeds and leaves of most plants, and the result is nothing short of phenomenal. Scientists have discovered that the addition of Ferulic Acid to the Vitamin C and E solution boosts the skin’s natural protection against UVA and UVB rays and free radicals EIGHT FOLD. What’s more, once absorbed into the skin, C E Ferulic won’t wash off. In fact, a single application gradually diminishes over a period of four days!  

Q: Do I still need to use a sun block if I use C E Ferulic?

A: Absolutely—and, by the way, Physical UV 30 by SkinCeuticals is unsurpassed in its range of protection, its wearability (no white residue or greasy film) and its moisturizing benefits.
Here’s why you need both C E Ferulic and an effective sun block: C E Ferulic works in the dermis to neutralize environmental free radicals (UVA and UVB exposure) as well as those produced by the body as a result of inflammation, prescription drugs, smoking, and illness. Simply stated, C E Ferulic significantly reduces the formation of dimers, cancer-causing cell mutations. AND by neutralizing existing damage to cells, it aids in the production of collagen. So it performs two important functions—keeping new damage to a minimum and actually repairing damage that’s already there. Not only does C E Ferulic result in healthier skin, but it also turns back the clock by rebuilding lost collagen, thus giving the skin a youthful, firm appearance.

Q: I don’t have much money. Can you list the most essential skin care products?

A: Sure. If you can only afford to pay $34.00 every three to four months, buy SkinCeuticals Physical SPF 30. You need to apply it every day, 365 days a year, whether the sun’s shining or not. That’s because UVA rays are longer, more harmful, and more abundant, and they’re present year around, even on cold, cloudy days.
If you can afford to pay $156 every three to four months, add C E Ferulic to your skin care regime. Use it in the morning, after you cleanse your face and before you apply sun block.
If you can afford to pay $200 to $225 every three to four months, add a good moisturizer and cleanser. Call our toll-free number and ask one of our skin care experts to help you choose products that are right for your particular skin type.
