Vitamin c - a staple for your skin(?)

Vitamin C isn’t just for coughs, colds and immune system support. No ma’am. Whether you’re concerned about pigmentation, aging, or texture, Vitamin C can be a game-changer in your treatment plan for anti-aging and skincare. And here’s why:

What Makes Vitamin C a Skin Care Powerhouse?

Vitamin C’s primary function in skin care is to tackle oxidative stress head-on. Free radicals generated by exposure to UV light, pollution, and inflammation break down collagen and damage skin cells. Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant, neutralizing these free radicals and protecting the skin.

On top of that, it aids in natural brightening by inhibiting melanin production, making it ideal for conditions like melasma, acne scarring, and uneven skin tone. When used consistently, it can visibly improve skin texture and resilience.

The Evidence Behind Vitamin C’s Effectiveness

Studies show that Vitamin C stimulates fibroblast activity, which enhances collagen production. This contributes to firmer, more youthful-looking skin. Its ability to tackle pigmentation and deliver a “glow” is why it’s often a go-to ingredient in many aesthetic skin care services.

Recommended use

For maximum effectiveness, Vitamin C can be used in stable formulations, such as serums like our SkinBetter - Alto Advanced Antioxidant Defense.

In addition to, you can also consume vitamin C in supplement form like the one we carry from OrthoMolecular Brand Products called “Buffered C” (more info here).
