Is Vitamin C Serum Really Worth the Hype?
Is it true? Is Vitamin C really the end-all-be-all when it comes to having the dewy gorgeous skin we all desire?
Well, the truth is: YES!
Vitamin C is essential for the synthesis of collagen, which is a key component of the skin’s structure. Collagen provides support and elasticity to the skin, and it helps to keep it looking firm and youthful. As we age, our natural collagen production decreases, which can lead to the development of fine lines and wrinkles.
However, Vitamin C can help stimulate the production of collagen, (WOO HOO!) which can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Inhibits melanin production: Melanin is the pigment responsible for skin color and protects the skin from UV damage. However, excessive melanin production can lead to hyperpigmentation and the formation of age spots. YIKES! Vitamin C has been shown to inhibit the production of melanin, which can help to reduce hyperpigmentation and age spots.
Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that can help protect against free radicals. Free radicals are unstable molecules that can cause damage to the skin’s cells and contribute to the development of aging and other health issues.
Here’s the science: when free radicals are formed, they can damage the skin by stealing electrons from healthy molecules. This can lead to a chain reaction of oxidative stress and cell damage. Antioxidants like Vitamin C can help prevent this chain reaction by donating an electron to the free radical, stabilizing it and preventing it from damaging other molecules.
Vitamin C is particularly effective at neutralizing free radicals in the aqueous (water-based) regions of the skin, such as the cytoplasm of skin cells and extracellular fluid. It can also work in conjunction with other antioxidants, such as Vitamin E, to provide enhanced protection against free radicals.
Vitamin C is such a generous antioxidant, it can help regenerate other antioxidants! Ones such as glutathione and Vitamin E, which may have been oxidized by free radicals. This regenerative property allows Vitamin C to maintain the antioxidant defense system in the skin and provide continued protection against free radicals.
Overall, Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that can help protect the skin against free radicals and oxidative stress, which can contribute to aging, inflammation, and other skin issues.
Often Vitamin C from your big cosmetic stores is a watered down version that is then marked up to $35, $50, or even over $100! With no real inclination as to whether the ingredients are quality, Ph Balanced, or even going to do what they say they will do!
I had a huge age spot on my cheek for several years. After using the Vit C serum it’s hardly noticeable now.

I have been using the Vitamin C Serum daily for over 6 months it has drastically lightened a dark spot on my face. I will admit I was very skeptical when this serum was recommended, but soooo glad I gave it a try and stuck with the daily routine! The results are amazing.

I have used these for over a year now and I can tell it’s improved my skin and I don’t have great skin. A friend turned me into Mel Marie, can’t thank her enough. Love the vitamin c serum the best but all are great!

So my daughter the lifeguard has been using the vitamin c on her dry skin and it is replenishing the dryness from sun and sunscreen. I love it because I’m actually taking care of myself and this is more affordable than most serums in the store.

This is a spa in a bottle for any dry skin areas. I use on my hands, nails & cuticles to help relieve very dry areas. My nails are in the best shape ever & as much as we wash our hands it is a comfort to know of such a great product. All of the skin products I have used are wonderful!

Our Simply Hydrate face cream is full of hydration without the heavy feel. We started with a blend of lightweight Jojoba Oil, Watermelon Seed Oil, and Arnica Oil, and added in Hyaluronic Acid for a huge dose of hydration without that heavy feeling.
This is seriously the best moisturizer I’ve ever used. I love that my face is so soft after I use it, and there is no greasy feeling at all. Bonus because this moisturizer has the best smell. Check it out...you won’t regret it!
