What is vitamin C?

Vitamin C skincare refers to the use of skincare products that contain vitamin C, typically in the form of L-ascorbic acid, ascorbyl palmitate, or other derivatives of vitamin C. These products are intended to provide the skin with the many benefits of vitamin C, which include brightening, anti-aging, and antioxidant properties.

Vitamin C skincare products can come in the form of serums, moisturisers, face masks, face oilscleansers, and even lipsticks! When incorporating vitamin C skincare products into your skin care routine, it's important to start with a lower concentration and gradually increase if needed to avoid potential irritation.

Why use vitamin C products in your daily skincare routine?

 

1. Anti-aging benefits:

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps to protect the skin from free radical damage, which can accelerate the aging process. It also plays a key role in collagen production, which can help to improve the skin's elasticity and firmness, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

2. Brightening and even out skin tone:

Vitamin C can help to brighten the skin and even out skin tone by reducing the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation. It can also help to give the skin a healthy, radiant glow.

3. Protection against environmental stressors:

Vitamin C can help to protect the skin against environmental stressors, such as pollution and UV radiation, which can cause damage to the skin over time.

4. Improve overall skin texture:

Vitamin C can help to improve overall skin texture by reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and by promoting collagen production.

5. Safe for most skin types:

Vitamin C is generally safe for most skin types, including sensitive skin.
