The Health Benefits of Vitamin C on the Skin


What does vitamin C do for your skin?


Vitamin C has the potential to help with a wide range of issues, particularly when applied topically as a serum. Vitamin C has numerous skin-protective and anti-aging properties. Serums typically contain the highest concentrations of active vitamin C and have better skin penetration than other vitamin C products such as creams and cleansers.


Here are a few of the most important advantages:


1. Vitamin C can aid in the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles.

This is because the antioxidant can help your skin produce collagen, a protein that gives your skin a firmer, bouncy feel, which helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.



2. Vitamin C can help your skin glow.

Because vitamin C inhibits the overproduction of melanin, the substance in your body that produces pigmentation in your hair, eyes, and skin, with regular use, your skin can become more even in tone—and downright glowy! Hyperpigmentation occurs when certain areas of the skin produce an excessive amount of melanin. This frequently appears as darkened skin discoloration.

3. Vitamin C can aid in skin protection.

Yes, it may aid in the prevention of skin damage caused by environmental aggressors such as UV rays, pollution, or smoke, among others.


Vitamin C is an antioxidant that aids in the fight against free radicals (unstable molecules in the body) that cause skin aging. It may also have some healing properties. Vitamin C is anti-inflammatory and promotes wound healing by assisting cells to migrate to the site of the skin injury.
