VARIABLE:
Super C Serum and A.C.E. PLUS Cream
SUBJECTS:
Six females, between the ages of 37 and 58 . All were free of skin diseases as determined by medical history. All showed signs of fine lines and wrinkles as well as redness and/or hyper-pigmentation in the form of freckles or age spots .
PROCEDURE:
This was a 12 week study during which all subjects were instructed to apply Super C Serum over the “crows feet” area around the eyes first, followed by applying A.C.E .

CONCLUSION:
- Biopsies among those who used Super C Serum and A.C.E. PLUS Cream indicate proliferation in the epidermis and an increase of collagen in the dermis .
- Castings of lines and wrinkles taken periodically throughout the study show a reduction in the depth and length of wrinkles.
- All subjects had a marked reduction in redness and an overall improvement in skin tone and elasticity.
