What Is Vitamin C?
Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is an antioxidant. Antioxidants help prevent visible impact to cells caused by free radicals, which are unstable molecules produced by the body in response to environmental stress.
Vitamin C is essential for the growth, development, and repair of all body tissues, especially the skin. It can help prevent UV damage, reduces pigmentation and inflammation, and is a natural boost to collagen production in the skin. Our bodies do not produce Vitamin C on their own, so applying topically on the skin is one of the easiest ways to take advantage of all the benefits it provides.
What Will I Notice Vitamin C Doing for My Skin?
Vitamin C has many benefits for the skin.
- It minimalizes fine lines and wrinkles by reducing free radical damage to collagen and elastin, contributing to firmer and more elastic skin.
- It brightens skin by impeding melanin production and minimizes the appearance of dark spots.
- Boosts skin cell regeneration, removing dead skin cells, and speeds the skin’s natural turnover process.
- Increases collagen production by activating skin’s fibroblasts, as well as stabilizing the skins existing collagen.
