The perks of using vitamin C on your skin
There are SO many advantages to using vitamin C, but these are the ones you should REALLY know about:
- is extremely safe for the majority of skin types
- provides a lot of hydration
- it will immediately brighten your skin
- can reduce redness
- helps with hyperpigmentation
- can reduce your under-eye circles
- promotes collagen production
- helps prevent sagging
- protects against sun damage
- soothes sunburns
- helps wound healing
It is safe to use, no matter your skin type
Vitamin C has one of the best safety profiles. Most people might use topical vitamin C for a longer period of time without experiencing any adverse reaction. There’s a 2017 review that discovered how vitamin C might cause, in certain situations, minor skin irritation, but we’re talking about 20% concentrations.
That’s why you will mostly find a concentration that ranges between 10% and 20% in most skin care products. Vitamin C can also be used with other skincare actives, such as alpha hydroxy acids, and retinol, but also with SPF.
