The skin care product, Glowic, contains the antioxidants vitamin C and vitamin E, along with ferulic acid to potentiate their effects. It also has vitamin B3 (niacinamide) as a stabilizer and moisturizer, vitamin B5 (panthenol) as a humectant and conditioner, hyaluronic acid as a powerful humectant, sodium PCA as a hydrating ingredient, and glycerin as a humectant and conditioner. The concentration of ingredients is not stated. The paper they cite studying topical vitamins Cand E as augmented with ferulic acid, used 150 mg per ml of vitamin C. That paper cited a study showing that maximal absorption of acidic vitamin C in pig skin (often used as a human-like model) occurred with a 200 mg per ml solution. How effective would Glowic be in a side-by-side comparison with Vitablosom Liposomal Vitamin C (containing 2000mg in a 2 ml volume) for treating age spots, given the latter has 1000 mg per ml in a liposomal formulation designed to enhance stability and bioavailability?

A viewer asks: “Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3 that the body can use directly, whilst NMN is a precursor that must be converted into NAD+ before it can be utilized. Niacinamide is involved in over 200 enzymatic reactions, whereas NMN’s primary role is to boost NAD+ levels. Both compounds offer health benefits, but they target different areas. NMN’s long-term effects are still being studied. Again, Niacinamide is normally taken ON the skin. Niacinamide is commonly found in topical skincare products but used as part of the Advanced Mitochondrial Formula, which is taken orally. Is this really safe?” What can we tell her?
