Best Vitamin C Serums for Healthy and Glowing Skin

We all know that Vitamin C is essential for healthy skin. But just including it in diet cannot give you the desired results it is known for- brightening skin tone, reducing dark spots, minimising the visible signs of ageing and boosting skin’s elasticity. 

Such results are possible with the regular topical application of Vitamin C. It is available in various derivatives to fit in different regimes and suit all skin types. Let’s know more about this holy grail ingredient to nourish your skin!

What is Vitamin C ?

Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin also known as L-ascorbic acid. It is naturally present in many foods like oranges, lemons, berries, kiwis, strawberries, etc. Known for its skin healing and enhancing properties, vitamin C is lauded in the skin care industry. 

Vitamin C is accessible in the market since it is one of the most well researched ingredients. You can choose from face cleansers, toners, serums, and moisturisers enriched with vitamin C.

There are multiple reasons to include it in your skincare regimen:

  1. Has antimicrobial and anti inflammatory properties
  2. Boosts up collagen production
  3. Prevents premature ageing
  4. Helps in treating and healing acne
  5. Soothes skin damage caused by sun
  6. Effective for treating hyperpigmentation
  7. Fights free radicals
  8. Improves skin hydration
Why Vitamin C Serums and Not Just a Diet Including Vitamin C ?

Well, that is a valid question. But to harness the benefits of Vitamin C to be reflected upon skin, diet alone would not suffice. The body cannot retain this vitamin long enough to be absorbed by the cells due to its water soluble tendency. 

Thus it is recommended to include Vitamin C in its topical form for it to hit the skin cells and give you that radiant and healthy skin.

FAQs 
1. Should I use vitamin C serums everyday ?

It is recommended to use vitamin C serums in your morning and night skincare regimens for best results. However, if you are going to give it a first shot, try using it on alternative days for the skin to get used to it. 

We would also advise you to choose the product according to your skin type and concern. Vitamin C is available in three major derivatives- Ethyl Ascorbic Acid (EAA), Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (SAP), Tetraisopalmitate (VCIP) for each type of skin and concern. 

2. What is the best concentration to start with vitamin C?

The major challenge with L ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is that it is highly unstable and gets oxidised easily. So, try and look for the formulas that have the most stabilised forms of vitamin C. This is so because the earlier formulations of vitamin C caused irritation as they were made from the most effective and purest form of L- ascorbic acid.

Now, the recently developed vitamin C derivatives at particular concentrations do not oxidise and seep through the skin easily to deliver pure vitamin C content without causing irritations. The concentration level of vitamin C serums is one of the most important factors while choosing the one for yourself.

3. Is vitamin C serum good for oily/acne prone skin?

To be honest, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is one such perfect derivative of vitamin C which is best suited for oily and acne prone skin. It can be used once or twice a day on cleansed skin to harness the best out of it.
