Vitamin C is the key to youth!
Vitamin C is one of the best ingredients responsible for the health and beauty of the skin.
Vitamin C, also known as L-ascorbic acid, is one of the best ingredients responsible for the health and beauty of the skin. In addition to fighting skin aging, vitamin C is also a key factor in maintaining a youthful, radiant complexion, and soft and smooth skin. It is a very effective antioxidant that boosts the production of collagen, a connective tissue of vital importance for preserving the youthfulness of the skin and its firmness. And, on the other hand, it stimulates the synthesis of collagen and thus preserves the elasticity of the skin. Vitamin C acts by accelerating cell renewal, strengthening cell metabolism - the skin regenerates more easily and fights visible signs of fatigue. Therefore, if wrinkles are still not your most important problem, it is recommended to include this vitamin in your beauty routine.
Vitamin C interferes with melanin production
Research has shown that vitamin C interferes with the production of melanin, which is why it is considered one of the most effective ingredients in the fight against hyperpigmentation and evening out the complexion. Hyperpigmentation – sun spots, age spots and melasma – occurs when melanin is overproduced in certain areas of the skin. Pure vitamin C (in the form of ascorbic acid) in cosmetic products for whitening spots is present in a concentration of 3 to 5 percent, and sometimes up to 10 percent.
What does "unstable in water" mean?
In its pure form, vitamin C is unstable in water. And what exactly does that mean? As a water-soluble vitamin, vitamin C must be used immediately because it breaks down quickly. For example, if you make lemonade, drink it immediately. Do not leave it "for later" because in that case, your body will not feel any great benefit from this vitamin. Factors that affect the stability are - high pH, elevated temperature, oxygen and metal ions. The problem of instability of vitamin C was solved by synthesizing its derivatives with improved stability. And in order for the derivatives to exert their effects on the skin, they must be converted into l-ascorbic acid.

Be careful how you use the products
The same applies to cosmetic beauty care products. Once you have opened the vitamin C product, which should be in the light and air-tight packaging, store it in a dark and cool place and use it within the specified period. If the manufacturer of a serum states that it has a targeted effect on stress and reduces the signs of aging and a tired appearance within 15 days, this means that the product should be consumed within those 15 days. If you stop the started treatment after four days, for example, returning to the same product after a month will no longer have any effect. Even when the preparation is still safe for use based on the expiration date, it no longer has the same benefits if it is left open.
Insufficient quantities in the diet
When talking about vitamin C, the first association for most people is nutrition and its effects on the immune system. However, although vitamin C is present in sufficient quantities in your diet, research has shown that there are no guarantees that it directly affects the condition of the skin through food. That's why the beauty industry in recent years has focused on formulating serums, lotions, and tonics with vitamin C that penetrates the layers of the skin very well in order to use the benefits of this ingredient in the most direct way.
Vitamin C is safe for most people
Vitamin C is safe for most skin types and conditions. However, it is not recommended for people with very sensitive, irritated and problematic skin under severe inflammation. Regardless of whether the skin is normal, dry, combination, or oily, most people can use vitamin C for a long period of time and experience no adverse reactions. On the contrary, the fastest and most visible effects are obtained right after treatment with vitamin C. Consistency is key for the maximum effect of vitamin C, so add it to your routine in a way that makes sense for you. Some apply it in the morning to take advantage of its UV protective properties, while others find it works best as a nighttime serum. In case you feel irritation or any discomfort on your face, stop using the product.
