Skin benefits of acerola, camu camu fruits
  • Hi Brains, in the midst of the new antioxidant craze I have noticed the touting of several "exotic" tropical fruits for their exceptionally high antioxidant content. It seems like some people are on a mission to find the world's antioxidant super fruit. Naturally, these "super fruits" are crossing over into out skincare products. For example, DHC features lines based on both the Acerola and Camu Camu fruits. These key ingredients are supposed to help brighten and even whiten your skin! Can a product containing a fruit with a high antioxidant content help whiten or brighten aging, sun damaged skin?
  • I would imagine that it would depend on how much of the fruits are actually IN the cosmetics. Are they anywhere near the top or even middle of the ingredients list? If not, my bet is that they won't do much for you :\
