VITAMIN C
Helps brighten skin + boosts skin’s natural collagen
What is Vitamin C?
Why is Vitamin C in skincare important?
As essential as Vitamin C is to your overall wellness, it is as vital to the health of your skin. That’s because Vitamin C, as previously mentioned, is a super skin protector. Free radicals, which originate from environmental aggressors, are one of your skin’s worst enemies. They are known to break down collagen and speed up the aging process. Daily use of a powerful antioxidant, notably Vitamin C in skincare, is like an insurance policy for your skin.
Vitamin C helps brighten and boost firmness
Does Vitamin C brighten the skin?
Brightening is one of the biggest Vitamin C benefits for skin. “When applied to skin cells in vitro, it’s been shown to inhibit the enzymatic production of tyrosinase, which is responsible for melanin production,” says Rocky Graziose, Origins Biotech Discovery Lab. Over time, and with regular use, Vitamin C can help reduce the look of hyperpigmentation, like dark spots, so skin looks brighter and more even toned.
When and Who should use Vitamin C in skincare?
Vitamin C can be applied morning and night. Experts note that morning application is most essential because of the antioxidant protection it provides. The fact that Vitamin C is infused into a variety of skincare products—moisturizers, serums, under eye creams—makes it an easy addition to any skincare routine. Vitamin C in skincare is also suitable for all skin types. If you have sensitive skin, it's always good practice to test on a small patch before full-face application.
