Using Vitamin C topically has clinically-proven benefits to the skin in a wide range of areas, from softening fine lines to brightening dullness to free-radical protection, but like most effective products, not all Vitamin C products are created equal. We sat down with NYC dermatologist Dr. Neal Schultz, the creator of the luxury skincare line BeautyRx by Dr. Schultz, to get the low down on why and how we should be using Vitamin C in our skincare regimen to ensure we’re getting the most out of it.

Purlisse

  

When she wasn’t battling the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers on the kids show Power Rangers, Jennifer Yen found herself battling a slew of skin care problems, ranging from acne to psoriasis due to the heavy stage makeup and intense lighting conditions she had to deal with for her role as the sultry villain, Vypra. After the franchise came to an end in 2001, Yen was inspired to create a line of skin care that drew influence from ancient Chinese wisdom passed down to her from her grandmother, and to attempt to heal the damage left on her skin. And thus, Purlisse was born.
