The product is described as a repairing and healing formula for extra dry skin, to help reveal deeply luminous, visibly healthier skin. However, Colins argues that in the case of formaldehyde-releasing preservatives, formaldehyde is released slowly and the skin has probably not evolved to deal with that. Sodium hydroxide in itself is a potent skin irritant, but once it's reacted (as it is usually in skin care products, like exfoliants) it is totally harmless. Topical emollients are sometimes contained in products that also treat acne, chapped lips, diaper rash, cold sores, or other minor skin irritation.

This moisturizer is specially formulated to penetrate deeper into your skin to heal and repair dry, rough patches, leaving it soft and supple. It also has a long history of safe use, as it was first used as a skincare product more than 100 years ago, in 1872 to be precise. It is there in lots of products in tiny amounts (honestly, we do not really understand why), however, we do not know about any vitamin C serum featuring AP in high amounts. I used the Ultra Healing Jergens lotion after my shower and it definitely helped lock in moisture for the day.Since it is a heavy duty moisturiser it does leave a firm of moisturiser on your skin, however it really isn’t noticeable unless you stroke your skin with your hand or something. We’re here to help you feel truly, deeply, skin-to-soul comfortable, with a few surprises along the way.

This does not mean that ascorbyl palmitate cannot penetrate the skin (because it can, it's oil soluble and the skin likes to absorb oil soluble things) but this means that it's questionable if ascorbyl palmitate can be converted into pure Vit C in the skin. These are all theories, far from proven facts, but we feel that there are some justified reasons why formaldehyde-releasing preservatives and Dmdm Hydantoin count as controversial.

The study was not done with real people on real skin but still - using a good sunscreen next to MP containing products is a good idea. Thanks to the positive charge, it also creates a complex with AHAs (AHAs like to lose a hydrogen ion and be negatively charged, so the positive and the negative ions attract each other) that causes a "time-release AHA effect" and reduces the irritation associated with AHAs.
