So how does it work? Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that holds a laundry list of benefits like brightening the skin, fading away dark spots and even reducing signs of aging. Thanks to its universal benefits, it’s held a consistent place on skincare’s most popular ingredient list. It’s even known as being an extremely effective Skinceuticals dupe. Vitamin C works well with most skin types and can easily be added to your skincare routine alongside your other beloved products.

Even though vitamin C effectively transforms the skin, it often causes irritation if you are not familiar with using it. If you’re new to using the antioxidant, expect some discomfort until your skin adjusts to it. Also, if you’re using retinol products, make sure to layer in a moisturizer to seal in much-needed hydration that will soothe your skin. 

The serum has racked up over 69,000 five-star reviews from shoppers that can’t stop praising its benefits for their skin. It makes skin look so smooth and youthful, that one shopper called it a “real life filter,” and added, “I’ve used this at night for 30 days. I didn’t do a before and after, but I can honestly say that when my kid took a picture of me the other day, it looked like he added a filter. Literally, my skin looks ridiculously better. I’m 40. I grew up a beach baby and live in Las Vegas now, and I’m in the sun daily. I swear on 37 Bibles that this stuff has easily taken off ten years from my face.”

Another reviewer called the brightening serum a “miracle in a bottle.” They wrote that they wanted to fight signs of aging and decided to give the serum a try. “My skin tone has evened out, much brighter, and friends and family has commented that my skin is glowing and that I look younger! Well, that was the whole point wasn’t it?”

After using the serum that doubles as an anti-aging product, shoppers reported that dull skin and fine lines disappeared.

A final user in their 50s was searching to reverse their years of sun damage and creepy skin. “​​I never thought I would see much results let alone so quickly. I woke up with such glowing skin this morning. And my face feels so soft,” they explained.

Metabolic surgery is both the same and different in many ways from other medical treatments or surgical interventions. While it is true that as a surgical intervention it cures disease and prolongs life, it is also quite true that the outcomes depend significantly on the person receiving the treatment.

If you think about it for a minute, you realize this is true for most of other medical treatments or surgical interventions. Imagine the person taking a blood pressure medicine or a diabetes medicine who makes no effort to control their calorie and carbohydrate intake or who refuses to quit smoking.

Likewise, think of a patient undergoing hip reconstruction surgery who refuses to follow doctor’s orders or do their physical therapy. The outcomes, the benefit of the treatment, won’t be as favorable.

The Benefits Are Too Many to Ignore

The same thing is true with metabolic surgery. Nowadays, we have enormous databases from large health systems and even entire countries that show unmistakably the powerful, beneficial effects of metabolic surgery.

People who undergo a bariatric surgical procedure (a.k.a., sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass) live longer – and significantly so – than their counterparts who did not have the surgery. That survival advantage, in and of itself, is a profound finding not realized by many medical therapies.

People also have lower risk of strokes, heart attacks, kidney failure, and even cancer. So, there’s no denying the tremendous benefit for people with obesity or type two diabetes receiving the treatment of metabolic surgery. But why doesn’t it work to the same degree for every single person?

Results Are Individual

Some of the variation has to do with our individual genetics and biology. Metabolic surgery acts by changing the hormonal levels of key hormones that emanate from the gastrointestinal tissues. By altering those tissues, the hormone levels change to more favorable levels substantially and for the long term.

Those hormone changes reset the metabolic rate, the levels of fat storage, long-term blood sugar levels, and the body weight setpoint, all for the better. But the individual plays a role also.

Positioning Metabolic Surgery as a Tool

In this way, metabolic surgery is a tool and not a quick fix. Body weight and blood sugar regulation are some of the body parameters that are most influenced by the choices we make, what we do, and what we eat.

So, it makes sense that a person who shifts their dietary choices away from high calorie, high carbohydrate foods to things like healthy vegetables and lower carbohydrate items will indeed have lower blood sugar and somewhat lower body weight.

Likewise, a person who starts walking their dog 30 minutes a day and gradually builds up to a 90-minute walk seven days a week will maintain a healthier long-term body weight than the person who stays on the couch. 

The take-home lesson is that if you or a loved one is struggling with obesity or type two diabetes, you will be well-served to take an objective look at the safest and best treatment for the conditions. But you would also be well-served to utilize that treatment – metabolic surgery – as a tool, and not simply as a quick fix.

Have you ever tried a quick fix for a health issue? What was it? Did it work? Do you think there is a tool you should have considered instead?
