How else does vitamin C benefit the skin?
Amazingly, vitamin C’s skin-saving benefits aren’t limited to its antioxidant status. It has plenty of other skin-healing properties that make it worthy of a permanent place in your medicine cabinet. For one, when vitamin C is used topically, because it’s highly acidic, “the skin is triggered to heal itself by accelerating the production of collagen and elastin,” explains New York City-based dermatologist Howard Sobel, M.D. Remember: Collagen and elastin are both naturally occurring protein fibers that help keep skin plump and firm. So, in helping to promote collagen production, topical vitamin C can help prevent premature aging of the skin.

Incorporating Vitamin C into your daily skin-care routine

he best Vitamin C skin-care product to use is serum, because serums are more effective than creams or toners.

Adding another antioxidant like Vitamin E into the mix is another great way to increase the effectiveness of vitamin C, together they can double protection against free-radical damage. This is why you’ll very often find the two antioxidants formulated together in serums.

Vitamin C serums are legendary for a reason: They really work. Uneven skin tone, rough texture, fine lines, acne scars, general dullness — you can name just about any common complexion concern and there’s a good chance that vitamin C (and the skin-care products it’s featured in) is a recommended treatment.

How long does vitamin C last in the body?
It can take up to 10-12 hours without totally losing the vitamin C content of a freshly squeezed juice.

Other forms of Vitamin C you may come across in skin-care products include tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate, and methylsilanol ascorbate.

Is Vitamin C good for every skin type?
