- Hydrates.It decreases trans epidermal water loss, allowing your skin to better retain moisture.
- Brightens.It helps fade pigmentation and smooth the skin’s surface to reduce dullness. This gives skin a youthful glow.
- Reduces redness and evens out your skin tone -treating a huge variety of inflammatory skin conditions. Minimizing redness and creating a more even complexion.
- Fade discoloration -including sun spots, age spots, dark spots — spots in areas where acne has healed. Vitamin C application has been shown to impede melanin production. This helps fade dark spots and leads to a more even-toned complexion.
- Reduces the appearance of under-eye circles.This serum can help smooth out fine lines by plumping and hydrating the under-eye area. It can also help alleviate discoloration associated with under-eye circles.
- Promotes collagen production.Vitamin C is well known for boosting collagen production. Collagen is a naturally occurring protein that depletes over time. Lower levels of collagen can lead to fine lines and wrinkles.
- Helps prevent skin sagging.Collagen production is tied to skin elasticity and firmness. When your collagen levels begin to drop, your skin may begin to sag. Applying a vitamin C serum boosts collagen production, resulting in an overall tightening effect.
- Protects against sun damage.Sun damage is caused by molecules called free radicals. These are atoms with a missing electron. Free radicals search for other atoms from which they can “steal” an electron —and this can lead to significant damage to the skin. Vitamin C is rich in antioxidants protecting healthy skin cells by “giving” these free radicals an electron, rendering them harmless.
- Soothe sunburns.In addition to minimizing redness, vitamin C accelerates cell turnover. This replaces the damaged cells with healthy new ones.
- And it generally helps boost wound healing.Vitamin C application can speed up overall wound healing. Healthy wound healing reduces your risk for inflammation, infection, and scarring.
How to use a vitamin C serum. Consistency is key for maximum effect, so add it to your routine in a way that makes sense for you. Vitamin C serum is typically applied once or twice per day. A good rule of thumb is to cleanse, tone, apply vitamin C serum, and then moisturize. It can be safely used in conjunction with other active ingredients.
