What Is Vitamin C in Skincare?

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps neutralise free radicals generated by UV radiation and pollution.

These free radicals can damage skin cells and accelerate visible signs of ageing. Antioxidants help protect the skin from this oxidative stress.

Because of this, vitamin C has become a key ingredient in many skincare routines focused on radiance and skin protection.

Benefits of Vitamin C for Skin

When used consistently, vitamin C may help:

• Improve dull looking skin
• Support collagen production
• Brighten uneven skin tone
• Protect against environmental stress
• Enhance overall skin radiance

When Should You Use Vitamin C?

Vitamin C is most commonly used in the morning routine because it helps protect skin against environmental damage throughout the day.

It is typically applied after cleansing but before moisturiser and sunscreen.

How Long Before You See Results?

Results vary depending on the formulation and skin type, but most people notice improvements in brightness within 3–4 weeks.

More visible improvements in tone and texture typically occur over 8–12 weeks.

Vitamin C and Sunscreen

Vitamin C works best when paired with sunscreen.

Together they help protect the skin from UV damage and support a brighter looking complexion.
