Wherever possible, they use renewable resources as well as ecologically sound manufacturing practices to minimize their carbon footprint. Their products are not "watered down" and do not contain phthalates, gluten, parabens, petrolatum or other harmful ingredients.
I was fortunate to be able to try their Organic C-Powder Kit and today I am going to share my experience with it and thoughts on it.
We all know that vitamin C is great for brightening skin and promoting collagen production. It's an amazing ingredient for keeping skin healthy, youthful and glowing. However, as wonderful as this ingredient may be, it can be unstable in certain forms and can also oxidize when exposed to air, thus rendering it ineffective while also creating free radicals in the body. Eeek!
What I love about Dr. J's vitamin C product is that it is in a powder form, making it more potent, while avoiding the issue of oxidation as it is prepared "fresh" before you use it. This is essentially a DIY serum that you create mixing the C powder with the accompanying activator. This activator is loaded with good for your skin ingredients such as Licorice Root Extract, Black and Green Tea Leaf Extracts, Chamomile and various fruit extracts.
Once the activator is mixed with the vitamin C powder, just shake the mixture until no powder is visible on the bottom of the vial and apply a few drops to clean skin like you would any serum.
One word of caution - if you have sensitive skin, this will sting! It only lasts a second or two, and once you apply your nighttime oil or moisturizer (it's recommended to use this at night), the "stinging" feeling goes away completely.
That little tidbit out of the way, I do love how clear, bright, smooth and glowing my skin looks the next morning after using this. And though the price may be quite steep for the average gal (or guy), if you can afford this, I highly recommend you try it. You won't be disappointed with the results!
One vial should last about 2-3 weeks.
