Vitamin C is an essential nutrient not only for our skin but also for the health of our body, it gives us the most powerful antioxidant action and is important in many processes of the body, is part of the growth and repair of tissues, is essential in the absorption of iron, is critical for our hair to look strong and shiny and among many others, is key in the formation of collagen, a protein essential to keep our skin healthy, firm and young.
Vitamin C is water soluble, dissolves perfectly in water, and is considered an exogenous vitamin, meaning that our own body does not produce it by itself and that we must obtain it from outside, from certain foods in the diet.
That is why when we talk in terms of skin it is essential to incorporate it in our cosmetic routine if we want to keep it luminous and healthy, as it is the most powerful antioxidant in terms of anti-aging.
We should know that the causes of a Vitamin C deficiency in our skin is the result of a rough, dry, dull, flaky skin, not to mention a possible accelerated hyperpigmentation, in short, the result of an overall aged skin.
How does Vitamin C act in contact with our skin?
It is the key antioxidant active ingredient to be applied as a first step in the morning after cleansing.
A comparison is the glass of fresh orange juice that we drink in the morning, what we do is to provide our body with a dose of natural defense in the first hour of the day, because the skin needs exactly the same, giving it the dose of vitality, energy and protection it needs to face the damage that will occur throughout the day.
Therefore, it will help us to block the damage caused by free radicals by protecting cells from oxidative stress and neutralizing the free radicals that damage them over time.
Daily exposure to solar radiation and external environmental aggressors such as pollution, smoking, stress, among others, are the main causes of premature aging.
Incorporating it into our routine provides us with the following benefits:
- Helps to even skin tone by blocking pigmentation production
- Promotes the production of collagen to reduce expression lines and wrinkles.
- It stands out for its properties to improve luminosity and firmness, achieving a healthier and younger looking skin.
We are going to give you key tips on how to choose your Vitamin C.
There are now millions of cosmetic products on the market that incorporate Vitamin C and each one contains a specific and unique formula, so there is no best form of Vitamin C, but what is the most suitable for your skin and needs you have, for that you should look at these key points when choosing the right product:
- Type of Vitamin C and percentage of concentration
- With what ph it is formulated
- Other ingredients that are incorporated in the formula besides Vitamin C
Types of Vitamin C and derivatives
The best known and purest form is L-Ascorbic Acid, in formulations when we see this form we already know that it is the most suitable form to reduce pigmentation spots and ideal for the solution of pimples and post-acne marks.
An important fact is the pH value with which it is formulated, a tip is that if your skin is normal you can afford a low pH, about 3.5 for optimal absorption. On the contrary, if your skin is sensitive or not very tolerant, you should look for a formula with a pH between 5 and 6 as this is the natural value of the skin and will not be as irritating.
Scientific research has shown which are the most stable, effective and less irritating for sensitive skin or skin intolerant to pure Vitamin C, L-Ascorbic Acid.
Some of the most effective forms of Vitamin C are
Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate and Retinyl Ascorbate, or the ester forms of fat-soluble vitamin C such as ascorbyl palmitate, among others.
Each of these forms of vitamin C has a number of benefits including repair and protection against free radical damage to the skin and penetrating ability.
The benefits of Vitamin C and/or derivatives are enhanced when mixed with other tested active ingredients, such as antioxidants and intercellular communicating ingredients.
