What Can a Vitamin C Ester and DMAE Face Cream Do for You?

Wrinkles and aging are commonly thought of as linked, but they do not have to be. An anti-aging regimen that includes a vitamin C ester and DMAE face cream, can lift and tighten skin, and leave it smooth and radiant in appearance.

Vitamin C ester heals inflammation, one of the causes of aging, and is great for treating fine lines and wrinkles on sun-damaged skin.

DMAE, or dimethylaminoethanol, is a naturally occurring substance that has face-lift like abilities, without the dangers of surgery. And unlike surgery, a face cream with DMAE and vitamin C ester has the ability to improve skin’s texture.

Learn more about how a vitamin C ester and DMAE face cream can help improve your skin’s appearance.



How Does Vitamin C Ester Work?

Vitamin C, or L-ascorbic acid, offers many benefits for the body, such as boosting the immune system and aiding in the formation of collagen.

Unfortunately, L-ascorbic acid is very acidic and is only water-soluble. That’s where vitamin C ester comes in. Dr. Perricone developed vitamin C ester so that the skin can reap the benefits of vitamin C ester without the irritation and inefficacy.

Vitamin C ester, or ascorbyl palmitate, is more effective for treating the skin because of its unique structure. Composed of L-ascorbic acid and palmitic acid, a fatty acid, vitamin C ester is both water- and fat-soluble, so the skin absorbs it easily. Its being fat-soluble is also important because this means vitamin C ester can reside in the cell membrane where it can protect the cell from free radical damage, one of the causes of aging.

Unlike vitamin C, vitamin C ester doesn’t irritate the skin, because it is non-acidic. This is noteworthy since regular vitamin C, although it has anti-inflammatory effects on the skin, these effects are canceled out by the pro-inflammatory effects of the acid.

Try Perricone for as little at $10.



How Does DMAE Work?

The best part about a DMAE face cream? It can quickly and dramatically improve the appearance of sagging, aging skin. Perfect for an increasingly instant-gratification seeking society.

DMAE, an antioxidant membrane stabilizer, can intersperse and become part of the cell plasma membrane because of its unique structure. When DMAE does this, the membrane becomes more able to resist stress, preventing the breakdown of the cell plasma membrane and resulting damage. Although DMAE is not an antioxidant, this effect it has on the cell plasma membrane is similar; like an antioxidant, DMAE prevents the production of arachidonic acid and pro-inflammatory chemicals. Further, DMAE helps cells expel waste and hold on to nutrients your skin and body need for optimal performance. DMAE also enhances the strength of other antioxidants.

DMAE triggers the synthesis and release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter which causes muscles to respond and contract. Acetylcholine “wakes up” muscles when it is released through nerve endings. As you age, so does the nervous system, and the body begins to produce less acetycholine. Further, acetycholine’s effect of the muscles decreases. But with improved eating habits and a DMAE supplement and face cream, you can increase the levels of active, and hence effective, acetylcholine to restore your muscle’s response.

With a DMAE face cream, acetylcholine production is increased, thereby triggering a response that tones the muscles, and can result in firmer, smoother skin while minimizing the appearance of wrinkles. DMAE not only works within minutes, but can continue to firm skin over time.

The changes associated with aging may be unavoidable, but they can be treated with success, without invasive procedures or allergic reactions.




Vitamin C Ester and DMAE Face Cream Suggestions

Which Perricone treatment formulated with these two key sciences is right for you?

If you have a normal to dry skin type with fine lines and wrinkles, discoloration, and sun damage, consider Concentrated Restorative Treatment. This nighttime face cream is infused with therapeutic levels of vitamin C ester and DMAE.

  • Promote collagen production

This lightweight, rose-scented face cream not only includes vitamin C ester and DMAE, but also includes alpha lipoic acid, making a winning combination. Alpha lipoic acid, a universal antioxidant, boosts energy production in the skin, resurfacing skin texture, and fights free radical damage.

If both of these face creams sound right for you, they actually complement each other as part of an effective anti-aging regimen.

  20. I really need a good face cream that works. I have tried many with no good results that really work.

  21. would really love to try the products. hitting the big 50 this summer…want to do it with grace:)

  22. I am 53 and have been blessed with skin that really hasn’t shown wrinkles until the past couple years but does need help. I went back to college to finish my degree as the economy hit me very hard – and am around young students often – such a contrast! :-) I do not expect to look nowhere near their age but do know I can improve what I have for my current career, new career interviews, for myself and maybe others will be motivated to live their dreams too. New life – new look! Thank you SO MUCH!

  23. I am just now getting to a point in my life after tweleve years of depression. Terrified that my face has taken on the sorrows, I need a product that really works. Trust me, it is more than vanity. Reversing and preventing the signs of aging would help my self esteem a thousand fold!

  24. I was on diaylis for years couldnt drink much fluid at all had really dry skin now that I have had a transplant trying to get my skin to looking better and take the dryness and lines away. I would love to be a tester to see if it helps my terriable skin

  25. I WOULD LOVE TO BE A TESTER, I’M 61 YEARS OLD.

  26. Hi I am 50 and have some wrinkles on forhead eyes and mouth. Is dmae the answer? I would love to test your products

  27. I am 43 and began taking care of my skin at 15. I became a licensed esthetician at 18 and I have studied chemistry and pharmacology – therefore, I am a label-reader. I do not claim to be an expert; however, I can state with confidence that I know what works and what doesn’t; what ingrediants can irritate and those “miracle” ingrediants that do not live up to the hype and are not worth the money. With that said, I beleive that I look a lot younger than my years. Good genes have a lot to do with it and I am African American; therefore, fine lines and wrinkles are not yet in evidence. However, as with many peri-menopausal women, I am noticing a loss of firmness around my mouth, along the jawline, on my neck and the apples of my cheeks. In addition to that, due to fluctuating hormones, I also have occaisional breakouts around my chin and T-zone. Due to this, I am looking for a high quality product that delivers increased firmness without clogging pores or causing irritation. I would love the opportunity to test Dr. Perricone’s products. Everything that I have read – from the ingredients used in the extensive range of products, the state of the art formulations, to customers’ individual experiences – have all made me anxious to try the products and provide straigh-forward feedback on thier effectiveness.

  28. I am a Skin Care Connoisseur!
    My 5 senses come alive experiencing a products texture, scent, absorption into the skin, feeling on the skin and any changes, positive or negative after it’s use!
    Use me, I love Skin Care Products!

  31. Being a tester sounds intriguing, but honestly I’m somewhat of a skeptic.

  32. Yes, I would love to become your product tester!

  33. Thank you Doctor for all the information you provided on the DMAE! So informative. I would love to become a Perricone tester.

  34. I am a college student with acne which has left me with scars. I’ve tried everything to get rid of them, but they refuse to leave. Someone recommended i use vitamin C on my face,and they recommend Perricone. I would love to be a tester and see if this is actually something that will help me before i buy. Thanx!

  35. I would love to be a tester!

  36. I would LOVE to become a tester!!!!!

  37. I have used Perricone products on and off over the past 6 or 7 years (including the vitamins and “diet”). I can honestly say that it made a huge difference in my skin. At first I was on the acne line and it REALLY works. I used the toner pads for years and still use the acne toner for a deep clean post cleansing. If my finances were different, I would still be using the entire line, as I know the difference it makes. Skin care is very important to me and I do treat myself when there is a good offer online or for instance when you changed packaging Sephora offered your products at an amazing price! I would LOVE to be a tester for your lovely products. I am 37 years young and believe in your products. Thank you. PJ-Westport, CT

  38. I would love to become a product tester.

  39. I am a product enthusiast and would love to try your line and pass my reviews on to friends and family as well as blog on your website.

  40. I would love to be a tester. Having 2 kids, really ages you.

  41. I am noticing some laxity in skin tone and some color changes. I spent a lot of time in the sun as a teen, before sunscreens were really understood. I now always wear a sunscreen in the sun and wear a moisturizer with SPF also. It sounds like the Vitamin C Ester is EXACTLY what I need. I’ve tried several other products and have not found anythiing to be different than anything else.

  42. Want to be a tester. This product sounds great. Can’t wait to try it.

  43. Beauty is my life! Im in!

  48. I’ve been using some samples of Cold Plasma and Advance face firming activator. I am 45 and I have few deep line on my neck+ my jaw is loosing its firmness+ some enlarged pores on my nose…which cream should I buy first? i know that ideally I should use the all regimen but I want to start gradually because is quite expensive…thanks

  49. Concentrated Restorative Treatment is amazing! The smell (like an orange) is soothing and my skin just says “ahhhh” when I apply it. I apply at night and when I awake in the morning my skin is so smooth, rested and flawless! You can tell it’s been working while I’ve been sleeping.
