A recent study on Cellex-C products, examining the therapeutic effects of topical vitamin C on patients with acne rosacea, revealed that Cellex-C products, especially it's patented ingredient complex, proved to be most beneficial to reducing skin's redness from rosacea and improving skin tone.
Dr. R.B. Carlin, of Saddleback Memorial Hospital in Laguna Hills, California, utilized an adapted version of Cellex-C products, those containing the principal ingredient of 5% L-ascorbic acid, plus tyrosine and zinc on patients with Acne Rosacea -- a chronic, progressive inflammatory dermatosis of the face exacerbated by free radical production. The result showing that Cellex C products with vitamin C could prove to be an effective therapeutic agent for acne rosacea since vitamin C's antioxidant properties have been shown to decrease UV-induced free radicals when applied topically and used systemically.
Twelve patients (7 women, 5 men) with stage 1 acne rosacea [facial erythema] and stage 2 acne rosacea [papules, postules and enlarged pores] applied Cellex-C Skin Firming Cream to one side of their face and a placebo to the other every morning. To parallel a real-world clinical situation, the patients were invited to continue applying their current topical medications at night (to avoid mixing them with the test products) and were encouraged to apply sunscreen and make-up in the morning after applying their Cellex-C products. After three weeks, the patients reported any noticeable difference from four areas on each side of the face, show that Cellex-C products really do work.
