Vitamin C

The first skincare ingredient we emphasize for every client to incorporate into their regimen is vitamin C. As early as your twenties, you will start to see the loss of your skin's natural antioxidant defense. Oxidative stress is the primary cause of premature skin aging and usually begins around age 25. Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals throughout the body and the skin, our largest organ.

How to incorporate vitamin C into your skincare routine

Vitamin C is a versatile skincare ingredient that can be used in almost any step of your routine. However, we recommend using it in the morning to boost your antioxidant and sun protection, and always be sure to follow with your favorite sunscreen.

Adding Vitamin C To Your Cleansing Routine

The most gentle way to add vitamin C to your routine is to use a vitamin C cleanser, as it is generally in lower concentrations. This is a wonderful option for those with sensitive skin who want to start slow or for those who want to add additional vitamin C to their routine to boost its brightening and hydrating effects.

Vitamin C Serums Create Results

Serums are the most potent delivery system for vitamin C in skincare. Incorporate a serum for the fastest results and largest impact. If you have very sensitive skin, start with a serum containing Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (MAP), one of the most stable and gentle forms of vitamin C.

Multifunctional Vitamin C Moisturizers

Vitamin C moisturizers are perfect for skincare minimalists who are looking for a multi-functional product. They are also a great option for teens and young adults looking to start preventative care. For those who are over 40, adding more than one vitamin C product can be advantageous for added brightening and collagen-boosting benefits.
