With the emergence of science-backed skincare, it’s no surprise that favourites have emerged within the skincare industry that have shown to produce some amazing results. One of them being vitamin C, an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory nutrient it’s host to an array of skincare benefits. With a variety of vitamin C skincare products out there that combine the superfuel nutrient with other ingredients with other ingredients and extracting Vitamin C at its purest form, results can be outstandly good for a regular used skincare ingredient.

Vitamin-C is best known for its skin-brightening properties, but it can also be used to achieve an array of other skincare goals such as anti-aging and hyperpigmentation. With positive and powerful results, the incorporation of Vitamin-C is a popular choice for many. In this article we’ll have a look at five reasons as to why you may want to consider adding vitamin-c to your skincare routine if you haven’t already.

Brightening the skin

With skin brightening being the first and most popular conclusion when we think of Vitamin-C, this powerful antioxidant can have other amazing results on our skin. One being improving hyperpigmentation, a common condition characterised by darker spots on the skin . Often caused by hormone fluctuations and over exposure to harmful rays like UV rays from excessive sun exposure as our body’s produce excess melanin as a result. Vitamin C however, helps aid the production of tyrosinase, downregulating melanin therefore preventing hyperpigmentation.

Vitamin-C products come in all forms whether that’s serums, lotions, cleansing gels etc. For an effective brightening solution a mixture within a brightening kit can be used to effectively treat the skin and enrich it with vitamin-c in all steps of your skincare routine for effective results. Aligning it with one’s skincare goals whether that’s making the skin more radiant and youthful through vitamin-c products or to clear from congestion with an even skin tone and reduced pigmentation, a brighter skincare collection will collectively help show results. 

Anti-ageing properties

With an array of vitamin-c products on the market there are an arrange of strengths and forms including that of vitamin-C. and with regular use your skin will be brighter and more radiant With the most potent antioxidant like that of L-ascorbic acid being the purest form of vitamin C it shields your skin from free radical damage, environmental stressors, and pollution, all of which are known causes of premature ageing. As well as living up to the reputation of Vitamin C being a well-known skin-brightening product, with 20% concentration of vitamin-C expect to see firmer and plumper skin. Also with Vitamin-C being needed for the synthesis and maintenance of collagen, it helps to produce collagen, as it has an active role in collagen synthesis.

Therefore, regular use of Vitamin-C can be seen to stimulate collagen production for firmer, more resilient skin. With the strength of Vitamin-C ranging from high 20% to a lower 15% Vitamin-C and 10% Vitamin-C for those with normal or combination skin looking to fortify and safeguard their youthful appearance, there is an option for everyone when seeking the right Vitamin-C serum.

Reduces redness

Due to the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that Vitamin-C provides it also helps mend damaged capillaries that cause skin redness. Creating a smoother and more even skin complexion by targeting spots, redness, and irritation, a vitamin-c incorporated skincare routine can result in a clearer and a more youthful skin complexion. With an array of advanced products out there, like a dark circle corrector enriched with gold-stabilised Vitamin C, results can start to show in as little as two weeks. Resulting in a heightened ability for skin rejuvenation through advanced ingredients alongside Vitamin-C like light-reflecting micro minerals, using both in the morning and night you won’t have to wait around for fast acting results. 

Hydrating properties

Vitamin-C however doesn’t just make an appearance by itself but is commonly used alongside other ingredients to enhance results. Like Vitamin-c and glycolic acid being common partners in items such as a brightening serum to enhance brightening characteristics as well as being a deep hydrator showcasing the ultimate skin brightening duo. With glycolic acid, it’s responsible for rapidly resurfacing the skin and removing dead skin cells, leaving the skin with a dramatically brighter and healthier-looking complexion ready for the antioxidant that is Vitamin-C to soak in the skin.

Protects the skin from stressors

Stabilised vitamin-C serums aim to protect your skin from stressors in the form of an easy daily serum that is quickly absorbed, safe and gentle on the skin. Consisting of Vitamin-C’s staple antioxidant properties protecting against free radicals and environmental factors. Whilst also containing zinc, responsible for helping to activate and transport Vitamin-C effectively into the skin, alongside the calming ingredient that is Aloe Vera and Hyaluronic Acid to provide that intense and deep hydration, all day long.
