Some common depigmentation agents such as azelaic acid and kojic acid seem to be inefficient in this case, [6] however other agents might work well (4% hydroquinone, [7] 5% topical cysteamine, [8] 10% topical ascorbic acid [9]).
There is no evidence to indicate that intravenous ascorbic acid therapy can cure cancer. [33] [32] According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), high-dose vitamin C (such as intravenous ascorbic acid therapy) has not been approved as a treatment for cancer or any other medical condition. [2]
Ascorbic acid efflux by embryos of dicot plants is a well-established mechanism of iron reduction and a step obligatory for iron uptake. [a] All plants synthesize ascorbic acid. Ascorbic acid functions as a cofactor for enzymes involved in photosynthesis, synthesis of plant hormones, as an antioxidant and regenerator of other antioxidants. [96]
Ascorbyl glucoside exhibits superior stability and penetration ability compared to ascorbyl phosphate salts, but the rate of its in vivo conversion to ascorbic acid is not known. [1] Ascorbyl glucosides such as AA-2G, like many other derivatives of the ascorbic acid, show antiscorbutic effects. [2] It is also sometimes used in skin whitening ...
Other hyperpigmentation-fighting antioxidants commonly found in melasma treatments include niacinamide, vitamin E and kojic acid. Check if formulas are pregnancy-safe.
The origin of the name tretinoin is uncertain, [42] [43] although several sources agree (one with probability, [42] < one with asserted certainty [44]) that it probably comes from trans-+ retinoic [acid] + -in, which is plausible given that tretinoin is the all-trans isomer of retinoic acid. The name isotretinoin is the same root tretinoin plus ...
The most effective and commonly used treatment of BCC is Mohs surgery, which involves removing thin layers of skin to be examined for signs of cancer. The process continues, layer by layer, until ...
Glyceryl octyl ascorbic acid (GO-VC) is an amphipathic derivative of vitamin C consisting of two ether linkages: a 1-octyl at position 2 and a glycerin at position 3. The chemical name is 2-glyceryl-3-octyl ascorbic acid. The isomer in which these two groups are swapped (2-octyl-3-glyceryl ascorbic acid, OG-VC) is also known. [1]
