Vitamin C is one of the most important vitamins in beauty. The reason? Vitamin C is packed with properties that you’ll discover in this article.<\/p>\nVitamin C is one of the most important vitamins in beauty. The reason? Vitamin C is packed with properties that you’ll discover in this article.<\/p>\n
More commonly known as ascorbic acid<\/strong> in skincare ingredient lists, it\u2019s famous for its ability to protect the skin from environmental aggressors thanks to its antioxidant properties and its role in collagen synthesis (which is essential for skin firmness). In short, Vitamin C has four main functions:<\/p>\n But how does it work and how should it be used? We\u2019ll explain it in the next section!<\/p>\n You can use Vitamin C treatments both in the morning and at night. We recommend including it in your morning routine, as it helps brighten your skin immediately. When used as a single ingredient (such as in some boosters), it\u2019s best applied after cleansing\/exfoliating and before your moisturizer and\/or sunscreen to provide a stronger shield against UV rays.<\/strong> Vitamin C is unstable, meaning it tends to oxidize quickly, which is why it’s often paired with Vitamin E<\/strong> or other ingredients like green tea to boost its anti-aging effect. Alternatively, to solve this problem, more stable forms of Vitamin C (such as magnesium ascorbyl phosphate) are used, or other substances are added to increase its stability. To make the most of Vitamin C\u2019s properties, it is often encapsulated in pressure capsules to preserve its integrity.<\/p>\n Generally, there are no contraindications. You can use these products alongside other brightening or hydrating ingredients, for example. However, be cautious if you have sensitive or reactive skin: if you use too many products or a high concentration of active ingredients, your skin could react with redness or other issues. Additionally, for safety, always use a cream or sunscreen with a high SPF<\/strong> when exposed to the sun.<\/p>\n A good skincare routine cannot do without a Vitamin C serum.<\/strong> Thanks to its antioxidant action, it\u2019s a great multitasking product that works on various levels to make your skin radiant, revitalized, and even, enhancing the effectiveness of your cream. If your goal is to tackle not only skin aging by stimulating natural collagen production but also hyperpigmentation and skin imperfections, a serum becomes an essential product. The result? Brighter, firmer, and more even skin.<\/strong> However, be careful to choose a stabilized Vitamin C serum, as it is photosensitive and deteriorates quickly.<\/p>\n In addition to serums and boosters, there are many multitasking treatments that have anti-aging, lightening, and brightening actions. Below is a selection of products we\u2019ve tried for you:<\/p>\n Refreshes and energizes dull, lackluster skin. Its formula contains over 95% natural ingredients<\/strong> and is enriched with Vitamin C from rose hips, which brightens and comforts the skin.<\/p>\n Protects the skin from free radicals with antioxidant action while stimulating cell regeneration<\/strong> and giving skin a brighter appearance.<\/p>\n A true superfood for the skin, it contains a formula up to 178 times more potent than common Vitamin C derivatives.
