Vitamin C has gained popularity as a skincare powerhouse, thanks to its numerous skin benefits and antioxidant properties. Here’s why a Vitamin C is a core essential in our Mikash skincare routine and why it can make a noticeable difference to your skin.
How Vitamin C Serum Works
Vitamin C is rich in antioxidants, which help reduce the impact of free radicals. These free radicals (aka particles that can damage skin cells and cause inflammation) are often produced by sun exposure and environmental pollutants. By neutralising these particles, Vitamin C can play a protective role, supporting skin’s resilience against environmental stressors.
Benefits of Vitamin C for skin tone and texture
One of the most popular benefits of Vitamin C is its ability to help improve the appearance of uneven skin tone. People often find that using a Vitamin C serum consistently may reduce the look of dark spots, leading to a brighter, more balanced complexion over time. It’s important to remember that results don’t happen overnight. Regular use, over several weeks to months, gives Vitamin C time to support skin health as it works its way into your daily routine.
Supporting skin’s natural collagen production
Vitamin C is also thought to support collagen production. Collagen is a protein responsible for the skin’s firmness and elasticity, which tends to decline with age. While Vitamin C itself doesn’t create collagen, it is believed to assist in maintaining skin structure by supporting the natural collagen process, which may help skin retain a more youthful appearance.
Protection from premature aging
Another key benefit of Vitamin C is its protective properties against premature aging. By helping to neutralise free radicals from sun exposure, Vitamin C can support skin’s natural defence system and help reduce the likelihood of fine lines and other early signs of aging that sun exposure can accelerate.
Choosing the right concentration of Vitamin C
When it comes to Vitamin C serums, concentration matters. To experience the benefits, a concentration of 10-20% is typically considered effective, balancing potency and skin tolerance. Our Vitamin C serum is formulated at 20% concentration, delivering the high-strength benefits many customers have enjoyed, especially for evening out skin tone and enhancing brightness. So many of our customers rave about the benefits. You can check out our reviews here.
Vitamin C serums have become an essential addition to modern skincare routines. Explore the power of Vitamin C with patience and consistency, and you may find it becomes a must-have step in your daily routine too.
