Some of the healthiest foods and natural ingredients on the planet are the ones you won’t find on your local supermarket shelves, and camu camu is no exception. Though you won’t find it in grocery aisles, you’ve likely heard of this superfood if you’re into nutrition, wellness, and skincare.

A berry native to the Amazon rainforests of Brazil, the camu camu berry has quite a tart and sour flavor, which is one of the main reasons why you won’t usually find it sold as a fruit. Despite its small size and nonchalant appearance, only about the same size and color as a cherry, camu camu packs a massive punch of benefits for your health and is widely considered a superfruit by health experts.

Let’s take a look at a few of the scientifically-proven health benefits of camu camu and how this superfruit can benefit your skin.

1. A Mega-Source of Vitamin C

Camu camu naturally contains about 3 grams of vitamin C per 100 grams of the fruit, which makes it one of the most potent natural sources of this vitamin on the planet. In comparison, the vitamin C content of your average orange is 30–60 times less! Yep, it’s not even a comparison there. Something like orange peel might be an okay addition to skincare products, but its benefits can’t even come close to camu camu!

A necessary nutrient for the skin’s overall health, vitamin C provides an important lifeline for the skin’s natural exfoliation process. When you keep your skin loaded with its prime nutrients, it’ll regenerate faster and fresh skin will bloom with bright, radiant colors, fewer wrinkles, and fewer patches.

2. Loaded with Antioxidants!

Camu camu naturally contains numerous antioxidant substances, including anthocyanins, ellagic acid, and flavonoids. These antioxidants protect your skin from damage caused by free radicals, or harmful inorganic compounds, that float through the air and contact our skin via everything we touch.

3. A Big AHA for Your Skin!

Camu camu is also a natural host of one of nature’s most powerful organic compounds for skincare: alpha-hydroxy acids, or AHAs. These strong acids react naturally with damaged and dying skin cells, rapidly speeding up the exfoliation process and leading to the production of smoother and more moist skin cells.

4. For Producing STRONGER Skin!

The vitamin C in camu camu not only smoothens and speeds up the exfoliation process, allowing your skin to regenerate faster and more regularly, but it also boosts collagen production. Collagen is the main organic substance that connects tissues and cells in the body. In other words, it’s what holds the cells of your skin together and forms a strong, smooth barrier between your skin and the outside world.

Collagen production can be even further boosted by applying a mixture of camu camu and gotu kola, a green leafy plant native to the Asian Pacific that’s known to be one of the best natural boosters for strong skin.

While it’s unlikely that you’ll find these 2 natural superfoods together in nature as they come from opposite poles of the world, health experts at Peri Skin Care have developed a miraculous serum that contains the best extract of both the camu camu fruit and gotu kola for a massive boost to your skin’s strength. Let’s have a look at Peri Skin Care’s Radiance Serum!

This unique skin serum uses extract from the camu camu fruit, extracted from a patented process that maintains 100% of the fruit’s powerful vitamins, minerals, acids, and proteins, while packing it down into a concentrated extract that can be easily absorbed by the skin.

And the potency of this superfruit is enhanced by not only the extract of gotu kola, but a number of other ingredients sourced straight from some of nature’s best superfoods for the skin. These include watermelon seeds, which are rich in fatty acids that improve skin elasticity; grapeseed oil, a powerful antioxidant that improves skin pigmentation; babassu oil, which is known for its antimicrobial and antifungal properties; and chia seed extract, which is rich in vitamin B3 and zinc, two vitamins and minerals necessary to keep the smooth, oily texture of the skin alive.

The serum is all-natural, organic, and does not include any synthetic or processed ingredients, GMOs, additives, fillers, or anything else that you might not want on your skin. It’s entirely composed of plant-based oils, sourced straight from some of nature’s best sources, and nothing else. It’s potency and powerful benefits for the skin can be effective for both men and women, and those of all ages.

And using it is simple. Simply apply a small fingerful of the serum to clean skin in the morning and at night, ideally after showering. Rub it gently into your skin for it to be best absorbed.

Quick Bonus: Nature’s Own Anti-Aging Formula!

Okay, so giving your skin a powerful boost of the camu camu superfruit is gonna do a whole lot of good! But we’re not done yet, and you shouldn’t be either. Wellness is an ongoing journey, after all, and there’s always something you can improve.

So while we’re here, let’s also have a look at another natural miracle for the skin, one that naturally provides the skin with the hydration boost and mineral boost that it needs to make your tired, discolored skin shine all young and radiant again! We’re talking about the wonders of Sofiel Blue Energy facial mist.

The key ingredient of Sofiel Blue Energy is beta-glucan, a powerful carbohydrate extracted from mushrooms that is easily absorbed by the skin and provides a massive boost to the skin’s immune system and collagen production. This means stronger skin, faster healing of damaged skin, and better connected, smoother, and more radiant skin cells.

Another key ingredient in the natural mist is sodium PCA, a sodium-derived acid produced naturally by human and other mammalian skin that the body produces in order to keep the skin moist. In other words, this is the skin’s own natural moisturizer, and with this mist, you’ll be spraying your skin with a little extra boost of its own medicine.

To use the mist, simply spray a few puffs of it from the bottle onto the face and neck, ideally on slightly moist skin after washing your face. It is best applied in the morning as you’re getting ready for the day, but it can also be used on-the-go throughout the day if you feel your skin getting a bit dry. Men, women, young, and old can all benefit from the extra moisture and powerful immune-boosting properties of using Sofiel Blue Energy as part of a daily skincare routine.

When it comes to the health of your skin, the ball is always on your side of the court. It is up to you, and not anyone else, nor any miracles of nature, to pamper your skin with the best support and nourishment that you can give it. Then you can let nature run its course and let your skin regrow into the natural, shining, radiant beauty that you’ve always wanted. But only once you’re treating it right – you can’t expect your skin to do all the work for you without the tools and ingredients it needs!

And fortunately, the world we live in offers some nutritious superfoods for the skin, like camu camu, that pack the nutritional punch and benefits of dozens of other more easily available nutrients. If you’ve got a busy life and simply don’t have time to maintain the perfect diet and keep up a complex skincare routine, you can take advantage of some of these powerful yet incredibly small and simple solutions that will see benefits for years to come.

The benefits of camu camu for your skin are usually visible in the short and long term. From the moment you apply the serum to your skin or spray the Blue Energy mist on your face, you’ll notice almost immediately that your skin feels fresher, moister, and stronger. If you use these formulas regularly and take advantage of these wonders of nature, you’ll see that over the years, the aging and wrinkling of your skin will slow down, colors will appear more natural, and you’ll experience skin damage less often with faster healing whenever you do.

We’re not talking about some magic bullet treatment, of course. This is something you’ll need to work into your existing lifestyle and use correctly for the best effects. But it’s fairly simple, so we’re confident you can do it, and we sure can’t wait to see that radiant skin you’ll have sooner than ever before!
