These days, having a skincare routine is all the rage. Especially for a skincare enthusiast, Vitamin C serum usually tops the list of must-do\u2019s. But does it actually help?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is an important nutrient to be consumed via diet on a daily basis. Its natural food sources include oranges, lemons, broccoli, and strawberries. It plays an important role in the enhancement of the body\u2019s immune system by boosting the activity levels of white blood cells. But when it comes to the skin, here’s why Vitamin C is a noted ingredient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benefits of Vitamin C serum for skin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to NCBI<\/a>, Vitamin C helps increase radiance, even out our complexion and reduce wrinkles. It also improves the production of collagen, the protein required by the body to maintain skin elasticity and hydration. It can also be used for the treatment of hyperpigmentation. When used in the form of serum, Vitamin C is better absorbed by skin, which in turn, gives better results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The antioxidant properties of Vitamin C also help protect skin from harmful UV-induced photodamage.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that we\u2019ve established multiple health benefits of Vitamin C serum for skin, let\u2019s highlight why serum-form is the most beneficial. From face wash to moisturisers, and sunscreen to face serum<\/a>, Vitamin C is used in various forms of skincare. Liquid or gel based skincare products usually contain Vitamin C. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serums have the properties of low viscosity and high concentration of active molecules that are beneficial for the skin. This further enables visible results in the skin within a short span of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, one can often confuse serums with moisturizers. Serums and moisturizers play different roles for your skin. Both are also equally important for optimum skin health. Skin experts design serums to penetrate the deeper layers of the skin, as opposed to moisturizers that form a topical barrier between the skin and the active ingredients used in them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    • Take a few drops of the serum, spread them on your neck and face, and massage until it is absorbed by your skin completely.<\/li>
    • While following a proper regime for skincare, a serum should be used after cleansing and toning, and followed by the application of the moisturizer.<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
