VITAMIN C FOR SKIN CARE
An essential active ingredient with antioxidant benefits for a radiant complexion.
Vitamin C, known for its powerful antioxidant properties, is a key element in the skincare industry, mainly because of its ability to protect and rejuvenate the skin. But what are the specific benefits of vitamin C and what needs to be considered when using it?
The most important facts in brief
- Antioxidant protection: Vitamin C effectively protects the skin from free radicals and prevents premature ageing processes.
- Promotes collagen synthesis: Supports the formation of collagen, which leads to a firmer and smoother complexion and reduces fine lines and wrinkles.
- Improves skin texture and pigmentation: Vitamin C improves the density of the skin's surface and ensures even pigmentation, preventing blemishes.
What is vitamin C?
Vitamin C is an essential active ingredient in dermatology, particularly valued for the care of mature skin. As an effective antioxidant, it not only supports collagen synthesis, but also improves the quality of collagen fibers. This helps to reduce fine lines and wrinkles by increasing the density of the skin's relief and counteracting UV-induced oxidative skin ageing. In addition to anti-ageing properties, vitamin C also has antibacterial properties, promotes even pigmentation and combats blemishes. Used in higher concentrations, it can also have a skin-brightening effect. Due to its sensitivity to light, oxygen and heat, we use a specially stabilized form of the vitamin to improve its effectiveness and shelf life.
How vitamin C affects the skin
Vitamin C unfolds its many benefits in different layers of the skin:
Moisturizing effect: As a moisturizer, vitamin C helps to intensively supply the skin with moisture, which leads to improved skin elasticity and a reduced appearance of dryness lines.
Promotes skin soothing: The antioxidant properties of vitamin C help to soothe skin irritations and calm the skin, especially after sun exposure or inflammatory skin conditions.
Supports skin regeneration: The active ingredient vitamin C is essential for collagen synthesis, which stimulates the production of new skin cells and thus contributes to a firmer and fresher complexion. This strengthens the skin's natural barrier function and supports its ability to regenerate.
Antioxidant protection: As one of the most effective antioxidants, vitamin C helps to protect the skin from the damaging effects of free radicals. This antioxidant action is crucial in combating premature signs of ageing and helps the skin to recover from environmental stressors.

The correct use of vitamin C
Proper use of vitamin C is crucial to achieve optimal results and support skin health. Here are some important steps:
Start as needed: Vitamin C can be used daily as it has strong antioxidant properties and contributes to skin rejuvenation. Regular use helps to reap the full benefits.
Cleanse your skin thoroughly: Before applying vitamin C, you should cleanse your skin thoroughly to remove impurities and residues. This improves the absorption and effectiveness of the product.
Apply an appropriate amount: Use only as much as necessary to cover the affected areas. Over-application is not necessary as vitamin C is very concentrated.
Use additional moisturizer: After applying vitamin C, using an additional cream can help to enhance the hydrating effects and support the skin barrier.
Apply sunscreen regularly: While the active ingredient vitamin C can provide some UV protection, regular application of a broad spectrum sunscreen is essential to protect the skin from further damage and premature ageing.
