VITAMIN C FACE SERUM
“Vitamin C” (often as Ascorbic Acid, or other Vitamin C derivatives) is a powerful antioxidant used widely in skincare
A “Vitamin C serum” is a skincare product (usually lightweight, easily absorbed) formulated to deliver Vitamin C effectively into the skin
Because of its antioxidant and skin-repairing properties, topical Vitamin C is often more effective (for skin) than relying only on dietary Vitamin C
Brightens skin & gives glow — Vitamin C helps fade dullness and can make skin look more radiant and fresh
Evens out skin tone / reduces hyperpigmentation / dark spots — It inhibits melanin production (the pigment responsible for dark spots), so over time it can help lighten acne marks, sun spots, uneven patches
Supports collagen production — firmer, more youthful skin — Vitamin C helps promote natural
When to apply: Often recommended in the morning — after cleansing (and toning, if you use a toner). Because Vitamin C helps protect against UV- or pollution-induced free radical damage, using it in daytime offers added protection
For most people, topical Vitamin C is safe
