What Is Vitamin C?

Vitamin C is a water-soluble, essential vitamin that’s found in many foods, particularly fruits and vegetables. It’s well known for being a powerful antioxidant, as well as having positive effects on skin health and immune function.

Vitamin C And Skin Health

Vitamin C is found at high levels in the outer layer of your skin (epidermis) and the inner layer of skin (dermis). Its antioxidant (cancer-fighting) properties help protect the skin from oxidative damage caused by daily exposure to light heat and pollution.

Vitamin C can also increase the amounts of collagen and hyaluronic acid in the body for brighter, healthier skin. These proven benefits are why vitamin C is a key ingredient in anti-aging skin care products like moisturizers, toners and serums.

What Are The Benefits of Vitamin C for Skin?

How does Vitamin C help with skin health? Here’s are some of the benefits of including a Vitamin C serum or moisturizer in your skin care regimen, regardless of your Fitzpatrick Skin Type:

Protects Against Free Radicals

Sunlight (UV radiation) and pollution create free radicals in the skin. Free radicals are unstable molecules that damage healthy cells. It is unstable because it is missing electrons from its outer shell. So, free radicals scavenge your skin and other cells looking for missing electrons to be whole again. This wreaks havoc on your skin and other cells that can lead to premature aging, cancer, heart disease and more. Topical antioxidants containing vitamin C help counteract UV free radical stress and pollution.

Boosts Collagen Production

Collagen bundles give our skin support and structure. Aging leads to collagen loss and, in turn, fine lines and wrinkles. Vitamin C helps boost your body’s natural production of collagen.

Combats Pigmentation & Brown Spots

Topical vitamin C application impedes the abnormal production of skin pigments (melanin). This helps lead to a brighter, more even skin tone and lightening of darks spots, sun spots, blemishes and hyperpigmentation due to melasma.
