What percentage of vitamin C is in the lotion? Does it have aborbic acid or L-ascorbic acid?

Where the ingredients are listed on the jar, the word Ascorbyl Palmitate (Ester C) is listed as the 10th ingredient. The word aborbic acid or L-ascorbic acid is not listed. But I will say this works great with the retin A I use at night. I will be purchasing this again.

Percentages of active ingredients are used to get a competitive edge - even though sometimes more is not really better. Many companies (like Swanson's Vitamins) will not tell you. I've had only good experiences with REVIVA LABS products and with their customer service. They are one of the few companies that, when I've asked, they've told me the percentages I've requested. They have a "contact" page on their www.revivalabs.com website where you can email them and get an email or phone response. Or you can call them 9 - 4 PM EST at: 856.428.3885

Hi there, Instead of typing all of the ingredients, here's a link to a local store that lists them. This lotion is fantastic! http://www.fruitfulyield.com/Shopping/Products/Category/Vitamin-C-and-Sea-Buckthorn-2-fl-oz.htm?cat=Personal+Care&cat2;=Moisturizers

That's a very good question as the label does not show how much of anything is in this product. It also has a taped printed label claiming to have vitamins C and A in also not quantified.I will not buy this product again.

The bottle states "100% Aloe Vera, Fractionally Distilled Liquid from Aloe Vera Leaves".. "100% Fractionally Distilled Aloe Barbadensis Miller". No mention of ascorbic acid on label.

Sorry, I don't know the percentage of vitamin C in this product - it's not listed on the packaging or bottle. That said, I went and looked up the ingredients on the Andalou Naturals site, and here's what the ingredients listing says: Ingredients: Aloe Barbadensis Juice*, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Oil*, Vegetable Glycerin, Cyamopsis Tetragonolobus (Guar) Gum*, Fruit Stem Cells (Malus Domestsica, Solar Vitis) and BioActive 8 Berry Complex*, Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Extract*, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (Vitamin C), Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Lauric Acid, Cetearyl Alcohol, Hyaluronic Acid, Vitis Vinifera (Grape Seed) Polyphenols, Borago Officinalis (Borage) and Rosa Canina (Rosehip) Oils*, Glyceryl Monolaurate, Linum Usitatissimum (Flax), Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose) and Hippophae Rhamnoides (Sea Buckthorn) Oils*, Camellia Sinensis (White Tea) Extract*, Laminaria Digitata (Kelp) Extract, Allantoin, Cetyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate, Phenethyl Alcohol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Oil* *Organic Fair Trade Made naturally without GMO's, gluten, paraben preservatives, petrochemicals, phthalates, sulfates, synthetic colors, dyes and fragrances. Verified Gluten-Free 100% Eco-friendly, Vegetarian & Cruelty-Free as per: http://andalou.com/index.php/turmeric-c-enlighten-serum.html Not sure that helps at all, but looking at the ingredients listing, the vitamin C is listed 7th in the overall ingredients. In my experience, I can tell that this has a reasonable amount of vitamin C in it, based on the slight tingling I get when I apply this before applying moisturizer/sunscreen. The tingling isn't bothersome for my sensitive skin, but I can tell that there's a fair amount of vitamin C in there. Hope this helps a wee bit, even though I don't know what the % of vitamin C in this product is.

Our La Beaute Pure Vitamin C Serum formulation now includes 20% of the highest form of active, bio-available Vitamin C (Stay C50) with a whopping 11% of vegan botanical Hyaluronic Acid! And there's more...Ferulic Acid (plant cells) had been added which renders C & E more powerful. Hard to top those ingredients and best of all, no price increase.

I don't know if there is a difference. I do use the L-asorbic acid when I make vitamin C for my face.

No, the only ingredients it lists are: L-ascorbic acid and Ferulic acid. It doesn't show any other ingredients that I can see. Sandra

The actual percentages are not listed, however aloe is the first ingredient followed by vegetable glycerin and rosehip... vitamin C is approx. 5th ingredient (the list is microscopic and cannot be easily read). I may also add that this is more like a cream not a serum and the pump tends to clog making it difficult to use unless you actually screw the cap off.

The product I reviewed is clearly marked "ascorbic acid." Most ascorbic acid contains l ascorbic acid (the active part of vitamin c) and D ascorbic acid (the inactive component of vitamin c). If you intend to use this as a drink the ascorbic acid product described will be utilized and recognized by the body as any other equivalently potent vitamin c source. If you intend to use this to prepare a skin serum it is my belief this is an excellent product for this purpose. Vitamin C is very unstable. I had to stop using commercially prepared serums because they would oxidize before I could use them. If you research this further you'll discover oxidized vitamin C serums, or serums that contain a solution of vitamin C that is too strong will do more harm than using chemically inert compounds on the skin. Check out Essential Day Spa thread on this subject-you'll probably learn more than you want to know. I hope this helps. Bonnie

To be honest I am not sure. My ingredients does not list vitamin C either. I'd check with the manufacturer.Thanks

Triple C is a neutral Vitamin C meaning it is not acidic so it is not 20%. Acidic Vitamin C like those that are 20% should be used with caution. Repeated use can cause skin irritations. That is why Triple C is perfect for anyone with sensitive skin.

Not sure what the difference is between Hyraulonic acid and L-ascorbic acid. My face usually breaks out pretty bad if using any of they acids... hyraulonic or L-asorbic. I usually get the plain Vit. C serum. But a friend got me a bottle of this. I tried it and my face got slightly pink, but it never broke out or even got to a red color. I highly recommend these products.

The AmLactin Moisturizing Lotion has 12 % Lactic acid - It does not say on the tube of Foot Cream what the Lactic Acid % is.
