As we age, Vitamin C level in our skin actually drops. Therefore, topical application of Vitamin C is beneficial especially as we age.



Here are the benefits of applying Vitamin C directly into the skin:

  • Protects against damaging ultraviolet A and B light. But, it's a not a replacement for sunscreen. Make sure to wear SPF protection while under the sun.
  • Neutralizes damaging free radicals.
  • Boosts collagen and elastin production in the skin.
  • Repairs skin damage, like in sunburn.
  • Reduces appearance of fine line, wrinkles, and age spots.

  • Reduces inflammation of the skin.
  • Promotes skin healing.


Vitamin C's positive effects actually increases up to 4 times when combined with topical Vitamin E.
