8 Reasons Vitamin C Promotes Youthful Skin

Trying to decide on a serum for youthful skin is complex - there are just so many choices, and new products are routinely released into the marketplace.
 

While those new finds are appealing, sometimes its the proven ingredients which are still the best choice.

Vitamin C is an example of an ingredient which is not new to the industry, but which has provided better outcomes, mainly because of improved stabilization technology that now provides dramatic benefits to your skin's health.

 
What is Vitamin C?

Vitamin C is a prime ingredient of collagen, the substance that binds cells together. Collagen metabolism and production is are key attributes of healthy, radiant, younger looking skin.

Collagen depends on Vitamin C, which shows the vitamin's importance to healthy, attractive skin. Stable collagen production fights wrinkles, and ensures evenness in the skin's tone and texture.

Vitamin C's function as an antioxidant also benefits the skin, as it is able to protect the skin from damaging free radicals." Thanks to E-How for this information.

Serums with Vitamin C

A facial serum with Vitamin C provides the most benefit, as it is applied topically.  

 Vitamin C will penetrate the surface layers of the skin to stimulate collagen, and to protect from damaging environmental factors like ultraviolet rays. 

Not all serums offer the promised results, as there are many forms of Vitamin C.  

Here's why:

* The forms of vitamin C that are proven most stable and effective are: ascorbic acid, L-ascorbic acid, ascorbyl palmitate, sodium ascorbyl phosphate, retinyl ascorbate, tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, and magnesium ascorbyl phosphate.

* All antioxidants, including Vitamin C, are vulnerable to deterioration in the presence of air and light. If a product containing antioxidants does not come in airtight, opaque packaging, don’t buy it!

So what can Vitamin C really do?

If formulated and packaged properly, a good Vitamin C Serum will help your skin in these 8 ways:

* Protects skin cells and skin’s support structure from UV-related damage

* Improves the appearance of sun-damaged skin

* Strengthens skin’s barrier response

* Reduces inflammation

* Promotes collagen production

* Enhances effectiveness of peels and micro-dermabrasion

* Lessens hyper-pigmentation 

* Boosts the efficacy of sunscreen actives.
