Vitamin C, also known as Ascorbic Acid, is a well-known skincare ingredient. It’s known to help reduce dark spots and acne scars while brightening the overall complexion. It can be strong for certain skin types as this ingredient is known to help with cell turnover. Still, Vitamin C is a wonderful ingredient to include in your skincare routine! It's all about finding a product with the right concentration of Vitamin C. Just remember to patch test!
What type of skin benefits the most from Vitamin C?
This ingredient works well with all skin types as it helps to truly transform the skin. Mature and aging skin would benefit from this ingredient because Vitamin C is antioxidant-rich and provides protection against harsh environmental factors that may damage the skin barrier. Oily, dry, combination and even sensitive skin can also benefit from this ingredient because Vitamin C contains repairing properties to help brighten dark spots and even out the overall complexion.
What benefits does it have on the skin?
Vitamin C is a great antioxidant-rich ingredient. In a more concentrated formula, like a serum or ampoule, Vitamin C works great paired with sunscreen in the morning to help boost protection from environmental aggressors.
