Strengthens and Brightens for Soft, Glowing Skin
Here are some of the most frequently asked questions about Vitamin C in skincare products
Benefits
- What does Vitamin C do for my skin?
- Brightening: Fades hyperpigmentation evens skin tone, and gives a radiant glow.
- Antioxidant: Protects against free radical damage caused by pollution and UV rays.
- Boosts collagen: Promotes firmer, plumper-looking skin
- Hydration: Helps skin retain moisture for a smoother texture
Forms of Vitamin C
- What are the different types of Vitamin C in skincare?
- L-Ascorbic Acid: Most potent, well-researched form, but also potentially more irritating.
- Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (SAP): Gentler, water-soluble, good for sensitive skin.
- Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (MAP): Gentle, good for acne-prone skin.
- Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate: Oil-soluble, highly stable
- Which form is best for me? This depends on your skin type and concerns. Sensitive skin may be better suited to SAP or MAP. If you're targeting significant discoloration, L-ascorbic acid might be better.
Using Vitamin C
- Can I use Vitamin C with other skincare ingredients?
- Yes, BUT: Avoid mixing it directly with retinol, niacinamide (in some cases), or AHAs/BHAs. This can decrease the effectiveness of these ingredients or increase irritation.
- Vitamin C + Vitamin E + Ferulic Acid: This combination offers enhanced antioxidant protection.
- When should I apply it in my routine? Usually, it's recommended in the morning after cleansing and toning, followed by moisturizer and sunscreen.
- How often should I use it? Start with 2-3 times a week and gradually increase frequency as tolerated.
Stability and Storage
- Does Vitamin C oxidize? Yes, especially L-ascorbic acid. Look for products in opaque, airtight packaging to minimize exposure to light and air.
- How do I know if my Vitamin C has oxidized? It will often turn a yellow or orange color. Oxidized products are less effective and could potentially irritate.
- Where should I store my Vitamin C product? A cool, dark place away from sunlight is ideal. Some even choose to store it in the refrigerator.
Additional FAQs
- Can Vitamin C cause breakouts? Some people may experience purging when they first start using it. This is temporary as the skin adjusts. If irritation persists, discontinue use.
- Will Vitamin C make my skin more sensitive to the sun? While a powerful antioxidant, it's not a replacement for sunscreen. ALWAYS wear sunscreen when using Vitamin C.
