🧪 The Clinical Role of Vitamin C in Skin Health
Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) is one of the most researched and evidence-based topical antioxidants in dermatology. When formulated and used correctly, it plays a significant role in maintaining skin integrity and preventing premature ageing.
Why dermatologists and skin clinicians recommend Vitamin C:
• Stimulates collagen synthesis – supports dermal structure and firmness
• Reduces hyperpigmentation – inhibits tyrosinase activity to help fade dark spots
• Neutralises free radicals – protects against oxidative stress from UV and pollution
• Improves skin luminosity – enhances clarity and radiance
• Supports barrier function – contributes to overall skin resilience
Clinically, Vitamin C works best when: ✔ Used consistently
✔ Applied in the morning
✔ Combined with broad-spectrum SPF
Not all Vitamin C formulations are equal. Concentration, pH, stability, and delivery system all determine efficacy — which is why personalised guidance matters.
If your skin concerns include pigmentation, dullness, fine lines, or uneven tone, Vitamin C may be an appropriate part of your treatment plan — but it should be selected based on your skin type and current condition.
