VITAMIN C IN SKIN CARE

WHAT IS VITAMIN C FOR?

Vitamin C has many beneficial effects on the skin:

• Antioxidant protection: neutralises free radicals responsible for skin ageing.
• Collagen synthesis: stimulates collagen production, resulting in firmer and more elastic skin.
• Reduces hyperpigmentation: lightens dark spots and provides a more even skin tone.
• Anti-inflammatory: Helps reduce inflammation and redness.
• Wound healing: promotes skin regeneration and wound healing.

DERIVATIVES OF VITAMIN C

In addition to pure ascorbic acid, there are several derivatives that are often used in skin care because they are more stable and better absorbed:

• Magnesium ascorbyl phosphate (MAP): water soluble and more stable than pure ascorbic acid. It is more stable than sodium bicarbonate and is more stable than water.
• Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (SAP): Also water soluble and stable, it also has antimicrobial properties and may be useful in the treatment of acne.
• Ascorbyl palmitate: A fat-soluble form that is more stable and penetrates more easily into the lipid layer of the skin.
• Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate (THDA): Fat-soluble, very stable and penetrates deep into the skin, so may be more effective in reducing signs of ageing.

HOW TO USE IT?

Vitamin C products are generally recommended for use in the morning, as their antioxidant properties help to protect the skin from the damaging effects of UV rays and pollutants. Serums are the most common form, as they are more concentrated and more easily absorbed. If your skin is dry or you use Vitamin C at night, go for the oilier formulas and the water-soluble formulas for daytime use.

Here's a general step-by-step guide to a facial routine:

To maximise the effectiveness of vitamin C serum, it is important to combine it with other skin care ingredients. In the morning, the use of antioxidants and moisturisers, as well as sunscreen, will help to protect the skin and keep it healthy. In the evening, focus on skin regeneration and renewal with ingredients such as retinol, peptides, niacinamide and ceramides.

Combine with the following ingredients:

Morning:
Vitamin C + Vitamin E: Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that enhances the effects of vitamin C and helps protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals.

Vitamin C + Hyaluronic Acid: Hydrates the skin and helps retain moisture, which is particularly important to counteract the drying effect of vitamin C.

Vitamin C + Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): reduces inflammation and hyperpigmentation and improves skin barrier function.

Evening:
Vitamin C + Retinol (Vitamin A): stimulates cell renewal and collagen production, effectively reducing the signs of ageing. Some people may be sensitive to retinol, so start with a low concentration and gradually increase.

C-Vitamin + Peptidek: Segítenek a bőr rugalmasságának és feszességének megőrzésében, valamint támogatják a kollagén és elasztin termelést.

Vitamin C + Peptides: help maintain skin elasticity and firmness, and support collagen and elastin production.

Vitamin C + Ceramides: They support the restoration and hydration of the skin's natural protective layer, and are particularly useful during the skin's night-time regeneration.

Vitamin C + AHA acids: Help remove dead skin cells and boost skin renewal, leaving skin fresher and smoother. AHA acids can increase the skin's sensitivity to sunlight, so always use sunscreen the next morning.

Moisturise: use a moisturiser that suits your skin type.
