We all know vitamin C is essential in maintaining good health. It does wonders for our skin’s health as well. Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant which when used topically can prevent and treat effects of photoaging and discoloration/ Hyperpigmentation. Vitamin C is great for all skin types, especially people who experience hyperpigmentation. Because it is unstable, it is typically paired with vitamin E when creating topical skincare formulations. This combination of vitamin C and vitamin E limits chronic UV damage. A combination of ferulic acid, vitamin C (15%) and vitamin E tends to increase the efficacy of the product. Keep these ingredients in mind when looking for a good vitamin C product.
