Treatment
Vitamin C is an antioxidative with multiple beneficial effects for skin health, from UV protection and photocarcinogenesis prevention, increasing collagen synthesis, decreasing melanin formation, and decreasing hyperpigmentation to improving barrier function through stimulating ceramide production in the epidermis and decreasing skin permeability. As such, its properties make it a popular cosmeceutical ingredient.
Topical application of lipid conjugates of Vitamin C (such as ascorbyl-6-palmitate, disodium isostearyl 2-O-ascorbyl phosphate, and tetraraisopalmitoyl ascorbic acid) has the ability to increase epidermal concentrations of free Vitamin C;
however, clinical research remains limited and therefore the challenge lies in designing permeable formulations that deliver sufficient amounts of Vitamin C into skin layers.
A solution containing lipid conjugates of Vitamin C (ascorbyl-6-palmitate and disodium isostearyl 2-O-ascorbyl phosphate), Rosa moschata oil, polysorbate 80, propylene glycol, perfumes and preservatives were applied nightly for 60 days to the faces of 60 Caucasian female healthy subjects in a clinical study.
Ultrasound evaluation indicated an increase in high echogenic pixels associated with collagen levels after treatment.
Antioxidant
Vitamin C is one of the most potent antioxidants available, offering numerous cosmeceutical properties such as photoprotection, neocollagenesis, anti-aging, and pigmentation reduction benefits.
It scavenges and neutralises free radicals that damage cells due to oxidative stress while simultaneously encouraging collagen synthesis and inhibiting melanin formation – thus helping reduce hyperpigmentation.
Furthermore, studies have also found it enhances sunscreen efficacy by neutralising UV-induced free radicals more efficiently.
Select a serum stabilized with ascorbic acid or ascorbyl palmitate, sodium ascorbyl phosphate, or magnesium ascorbyl phosphate for maximum stability and skin penetration.
Vitamin C should be applied daily in the morning for maximum effect – providing additional protection from oxidative stress throughout the day, sun damage prevention, free radical reduction and reduction, as well as increasing its effectiveness when applied before sunscreen application.
Vitamin C may cause mild tingling or burning sensations which is normal; if this persists it’s best to contact a dermatologist immediately.
Evens Skin Tone
Vitamin C skincare helps diminish dark spots and hyperpigmentation by inhibiting the enzyme tyrosinase responsible for melanin production, and evens out skin tone and complexion for brighter, healthier-looking results.
Vitamin C serum with emblica extract is ideal for those suffering from blemishes as it unclogs pores while disguising dark spots, uneven skin tone, and hyperpigmentation.
When selecting your concentration level start daily application (preferably morning and night) to maximize effectiveness.
Sensitive skin may benefit from using serums with lower concentrations of vitamin C while oily skin needs stronger formulas.
Stabilisers like sodium ascorbyl phosphate and ascorbyl palmitate are generally gentler on the skin than pure vitamin C; before beginning any new product use on your face always perform a patch test and consult a dermatologist for personalized advice.

Moisturizes
Vitamin C is widely known to be an effective moisturizer that can prevent dryness or dehydration of the skin.
If you suffer from dehydrated skin or want to add additional hydration, look for a vitamin C serum containing moisturizing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid or glycerin for maximum benefit.
For oily or acne-prone complexions, water-based serum may be more suitable to prevent blockages while decreasing irritation risk.
Furthermore, selecting one with a stable pH level (ideally around 3.5) ensures maximum effectiveness; for advice tailored exclusively towards your needs, it is best to consult a skin care professional on the way forward.
Use serum in combination with other skincare products, like retinol or salicylic acid, to maximize benefits while minimizing risks of irritation.
