Vitamin C is quickly becoming the holy grail ingredient in everyones skincare routine – and for good reason. This glow-inducing active contains a multitude of benefits for your complexion – our edwards Cosmeceuticals Vitamin C Photo Rejuvenation Serum is a hero in its ability to target pigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles. The benefits don’t end there, though. We’re here to give you the rundown on all things vitamin C, and what makes it such a botanical powerhouse.
What can Vitamin C actually do for your skin?
Nature’s transformative illuminator, vitamin C is a melanin inhibitor that actively brightens hyperpigmentation and improves the look of skin over time. Vitamin C is an antioxidant, so its primary role is to protect your skin from pollution, sun damage and other premature ageing factors – this process is otherwise known as the neutralisation of free radicals. For brightening up a dull complexion and targeting pigmentation caused by Uv-induced damage, vitamin C is the gold standard of ingredients. Use our supercharged Vitamin C Photo Rejuvenation Serum to help with hyperpigmentation, activate collagen production and boost total radiance over time.
How often should you use Vitamin C?
To ensure you are not overloading your skin, it is recommended to take a gradual approach when adding vitamin C to your skincare regimen. Like with any active, it’s important to start slowly when incorporating potent ingredients into your routine. Start by applying two to three times a week, gradually building up to daily use.
It is also important to remember that the effects of vitamin C will not be an overnight success. It takes at least a month of consistent, continuous use before you will start to see real improvements and changes in your skin tone. The reason for this is that the time it takes for our skin cells to renew on average, it 28 days. So, we need to allow time for our skin to regenerate, absorb and begin to display the powerful effects of vitamin C.
How does consuming Vitamin C differ from applying it on my skin?
You might wonder how drinking a lot of orange juice or eating an orange every day would have different effects to applying it directly onto your skin. When you consume something containing vitamin C, your skin only benefits a very small portion of that, which is not enough to grant noticeable differences in our skin.
The most effective way for your skin to benefit from vitaman C is by applying it directly, in the form of a serum. This ensures the skin is able to absorb it effectively and efficiently.
