UV-C Aren't UV-C rays, the skin cancer-producing rays? Has anyone who used this had any mal-effects even temporary ones?

you aren't being exposed to the light in these units, only the germs in the air that passes inside it are, and you are thinking of UVA and UVB rays

I'm experiencing lightheadedness, but I am not sure if it is related to this product or not.

Regarding the "ozone" concern.....the company states the following:"No ozoneA specially designed UV-C light bulb is used so no ozone is produced. The UV-C light bulb (model LB1000) needs to be replaced every six to eight months depending on use."I personally had one and loved it. Ran smoothly!

Ann~ Thank you for posting this. I wanted to answer this personally because I can speak from experience. I am a long term user of C E Ferulic from Skinceuticals. It really set the standard for vitamin C serums. While Skinceuticals has a great line, I founded srumtologi to offer products that offered comparable luxury and clinically proven ingredients but without the often shockingly high price tag. Our C serum 22 has 47% more vitamin c and is in a form that does not cause skin irritation. It also has twice as much ferulic acid and is 1/5th the price. I would be honored if you would give our product a try. Vanessa Powers, Co-founder-srumtologi

I would suggest that you return it. This product does absolutely nothing. I thought I would save some money and try it, since my regular Vitamin C serum is pretty spendy. Now my face is full of dark spots that I never had before when I used Skinceuticals!!!

RTG - I live on the central coast of CA, so it is interesting hearing about your experience. It did strike me, perhaps there is a clear UV-blocking urethane(?) spray you could apply to the film. Maybe that could add some protection from the sun.

Nutrex has had their products tested by an independent third party as well as in house testing. The product has tested negative for radiation. Also, the majority of the water they use to grow their spirulina is from fresh water ponds with a very small amount of sea water. As a cancer survivor, I've been taking it for about a year for my immune system and truly believe I have been healthier overall since starting it. I have better energy and don't seem to catch colds, etc. like I used to. I also have psoriasis and have seen a definite improvement in that, even my dermatologist mentioned how much better my skin looked. Maybe it doesn't work for everyone, but I think it's working for me.

Hi....I don't see it listed. The main ingredient is pure vitamin C. I know it worked for me. It's not an over night cure. Must have patience.

Nope I've been using it for the past 6 months it's done nothing, it didnt even combat the usual slight skin darkening I go through due to the Florida summer sun. Everyone is reacts differently but that's been my experience.

It is used as a mold and germicidal tool. Ultraviolet C is that frequency of light that kills germs, mold and spores. Normally we are protected from UV-C by the atmosphere. These special lights are used in hospitals and other areas where its light is necessary to kill biohazards. Skin should not be exposed to the light as it is harmful to humans as well. If you get one, just be careful to keep its light aimed away from you.

I have taken this product for a year or more. I didn't know there were different forms of C, I assumed it was all ascorbic acid. Where did you get the idea it was sodium ascorbate? This particular product is used by Thomas E Levy, MD JD, author of a half-dozen excellent books on C, and he said he carries this form with him when he travels out of the country and used it to cure one young girl in South America of West Nile Virus and another in Africa of Deng Fever.

Hi Lydia~ Thank you for posting your question! Although srumtologi C serum 22 was designed from the ground up to compete with any vitamin C serum on the market, including the two you mentioned, we use a different form of vitamin C than the L-ascorbic acid utilized by Skinceuticals or Obagi. L-ascorbic acid has very solid clinical research supporting its use in topical skincare products however it is inherently unstable and can easily become pro-oxidant. When this happens the serum can turn from clear to yellow, tan or brown. Some manufacturers color their solutions orange to hide what's going on. To avoid this we chose sodium ascorbyl phosphate as the vitamin c in our product. Adding a phosphate to ascorbic acid more than doubles the level it can survive in. L-Ascorbic acid is quite acidic with a natural pH of around 3.5. This acidity can often cause irritation to the skin. Our formulation is more alkaline and is standardized at a pH of 8.9-9.1. I hope this helps. We appreciate your interest in our groundbreaking serum. srumtologi Customer Care

Probably because of the ultraviolet light it emits. UV exposure can cause skin cancer.

This flashlight puts out near UVA light, at about 400 nm. Humans can see down to 385 nm. Bright Sunlight has more radiation at this wavelength than this flashlight so our eyes get exposed to this level of near UV light for hours at a time if you don't wear sunglasses. UVA is hardly filtered by the ozone layer so almost all UVA reaches us and this flashlight produces light at the very edge of UVA and visible light.People fear UV but it is the deep UV that harms you. Turn the light on and put it on your arm. Do you get sunburn that is caused by UV? No way. Put your arm under a DEEP UV light and it will cause redness. Just use a regular pair of sunglasses if you want but it is unnecessary. This flashlight puts out near UVA light, at about 400 nm. Humans can see down to 385 nm.

I know what UV sun rays are but I have no idea what RV rays are. I thought an RV was some kind of a vehicle. I haven't got a tan from the bulb or burn so I would say no, however I've only had it a short time. There might be better sources than other customers though. Sorry. trin.

Personally, I have used both and the Natural C works great on dark spots- much lighter, but not gone....yet. The Super C helps with wrinkles- not gone yet either.

I'm not sure about the actual UV Rays, but it does create great shade. We bought a nice color rope to tie it up with. We're very very happy with this cover. Janet

My understanding is that the Vitamin C offers yet another measure ofvprotection fron sun damage. Vitamin C is also a known agent for healing. My personal experience is that Burt's Bees does not include ingredients simply for sales appeal.

Contains SLS (Sodium Lauryl or Laureth Sulfate). A known cancer carcinogen, is bad for skin, eyes, hair, gums and hair follicles. I would not use this on myself or especially anyone's baby bottles!!! Seventh Generation in this case is making BAD STUFF with a good name!
