Why your skin needs vitamin C<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Despite its challenges, your skin needs vitamin C because our bodies don\u2019t naturally produce it. To get all of vitamin C\u2019s incredible benefits, we need to eat it and apply it to our skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that can help manage the two ways skin ages: genetically (a.k.a. the natural aging process) and environmentally (including UVA\/UVB rays, blue light from devices, pollution, smoking and a poor diet that stress your skin and accelerate damage).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both genetic and environmental aging show as hyperpigmentation (think dark spots, age spots, or brown spots), dullness, lines, wrinkles and loss of firmness. And, vitamin C in skincare can help correct them\u2014if you use one that\u2019s clinically proven to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the benefits of vitamin C in skincare?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The benefits of vitamin C in skincare include preventing visible skin damage like hyperpigmentation, dullness and uneven tone, and diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. But as we mentioned, vitamin C is comes with its share of challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditional vitamin C:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Degrades over time<\/li>
  • Antioxidant defense<\/li>
  • Problematic absorption<\/li>
  • Works once in skin<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    What\u2019s the best vitamin C for my skin?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The best kind of vitamin C is one that works! The key to this is keeping it stable during formulation, meaning it can be formulated without losing efficacy so it\u2019s at maximum potency when applied to skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Vitamin C efficacy can be enhanced by stabilizing the molecule with gold: When attaching gold to vitamin C, studies show higher antioxidant defense capabilities versus vitamin C alone. There are also varying types of vitamin C (such as etrahexyldecyl ascorbate, or THD for short) that are known for their excellent skin absorption. Glutathione, a potent antioxidant, helps recycle vitamin C in skin to extend its benefits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
