Hey Randy and Perry.
Does
dehydroascorbic acid (DHA) have a similar effect to ascorbic acid (AA) when
applied to skin? There are some claims that it penetrates easier, it can
convert back to ascorbic acid and if combined with AA then less AA is needed to
have an effect on the skin. All of this information comes from a company that
sell vitamin C serums so I’m obviously highly skeptical. But it would be nice to
know if there’s any science to back this up.It looks like under some conditions it can convert: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9126371
What are the consequences of using a serum containing Dehydroascorbic acid serum. The study you quoted is a in Vitro study. What happens to the skin when Dehydroascorbic acid does not convert?What happens to skin? I assume not much because the unconverted material does not supply the same benefits as Ascorbic acid.
@RandyS Thanks! would it be detrimental to the skin?
