Vitamin C

Bid farewell to dullness and uneven, blotchy tones by choosing the right Vitamin C skin product for your skin type and concerns. Also known as ascorbic acid, Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps to maintain healthy skin. It comes in various forms, such as L-Ascorbic Acid and Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate.

High concentration Vitamin C products are also great for targeting dark spots and discolourations. Explore our range of Vitamin C skin products in Malaysia, such as the Vitamin C serum and booster, to restore your skin’s luminous and healthy glow. 

Unlock Radiant Skin: Vitamin C Benefits

Incorporating Vitamin C skincare into your daily regimen is fundamental for achieving a visibly brighter, more even-toned, and healthier complexion.

• Reduces hyperpigmentation: Vitamin C helps to fade dark spots, sun spots, and other forms of hyperpigmentation by inhibiting melanin production, leading to a more uniform skin tone.
• Promotes a radiant complexion: This potent antioxidant brightens and evens out skin tone by reducing dullness and enhancing luminosity for a healthy, vibrant glow.
• Antioxidant protection: Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that neutralises damaging free radicals caused by environmental aggressors like pollution and UV rays. This protects the skin from oxidative damage.
• Supports collagen production: By stimulating the synthesis of collagen, a vital structural protein, Vitamin C contributes to firmer skin with improved elasticity.
• Reduces wrinkles: Through its support of collagen production and antioxidant properties, regular use of Vitamin C skin products can help to minimise the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
• Improves skin texture: Vitamin C can aid in smoothing the skin's surface and refining its texture, resulting in a more even and supple feel.
• Fades acne scars: The skin-brightening and regenerative properties of Vitamin C can help to gradually lighten the appearance of post-acne marks and scars, promoting a clearer complexion.

How to Choose the Right Vitamin C Skin Products

Understand the Different Forms of Vitamin C

There are various forms of Vitamin C for skincare, each with unique benefits. Here are some popular types:

• L-Ascorbic acid: Often the most potent, ideal for experienced users seeking significant brightening and anti-ageing effects. However, this can irritate sensitive skin.
• Sodium ascorbyl phosphate: A more stable and gentler form, well-suited for sensitive skincare.
• Magnesium ascorbyl phosphate: Another stable derivative known for its hydrating and brightening properties. It’s compatible with most skin types.
• Ascorbyl palmitate: An oil-soluble form that can penetrate the skin barrier effectively, offering antioxidant benefits. It can also be used on sensitive skin.

Consider Your Skin Type and Sensitivity

Your skin type plays a crucial role in determining the best Vitamin C skincare for you.

• Sensitive skin: Opt for lower concentrations or gentler forms like sodium ascorbyl phosphate to minimise potential irritation.
• Oily skin: Lightweight Vitamin C serum or gel formulations are good face products for oily skin as they can provide benefits without adding excess shine.
• Dry skin: Look for hydrating Vitamin C skin product formulations like creams or those combined with hyaluronic acid for dehydrated skin.
• Mature skin: Higher concentrations of stable Vitamin C or formulations with added peptides can target wrinkles and firmness.

Choose the Right Product Type

Different Vitamin C skin product types can address specific skincare needs effectively:

• Serum: Concentrated formulas designed to deliver potent Vitamin C and target specific concerns.
• Moisturiser: Hydrates the skin while providing antioxidant benefits throughout the day.
• Cleanser: Offers a gentle introduction to Vitamin C, brightening the skin during the cleansing process.
• Eye care: Specifically formulated to address the delicate eye area, targeting fine lines and dark circles.
• Mask: Provides an intensive treatment, delivering a concentrated dose of Vitamin C for a radiance boost.
• Sunscreen: Protects skin from UV damage while the vitamin C content offers enhanced antioxidant defence.

Look for Additional Beneficial Ingredients

Combining Vitamin C with other potent ingredients can amplify its skin-enhancing effects.

• Vitamin E: This antioxidant works synergistically with Vitamin C, boosting its effectiveness and providing extra protection against UV damage.
• Ferulic acid: Enhances the stability and antioxidant power of Vitamin C, making the formula even more potent in neutralising free radicals.
• Hyaluronic acid: This hydrating ingredient helps to draw and retain moisture, counteracting potential dryness and plumping the skin.

Consider Packaging

Vitamin C can degrade when exposed to air and light, diminishing its effectiveness. Therefore, avoid jar packaging. Instead, opt for products housed in dark or opaque bottles with airless pumps or droppers. This type of packaging helps to maintain the stability and potency of your product.

While Vitamin C is generally safe and well-tolerated, everyone's skin is different and responses may vary. If you have any concerns or experience irritation, please discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.

Maximize Your Glow: How to Use Vitamin C

When to Apply

Vitamin C skincare products can be beneficial in both your morning and evening routines. Morning application can help to defend against daytime environmental stressors, while nighttime use allows for repair and rejuvenation as you sleep.

Layering With Other Products

Here are some things to keep in mind when incorporating a Vitamin C booster, serum or other skin product into your routine:

• Apply the Vitamin C product after cleansing and toning, but before heavier creams. 
• Allow it to absorb fully before applying subsequent layers, including makeup.
• Follow up with a broad-spectrum sunscreen for the face during the day as Vitamin C can increase the skin's sun sensitivity. Sun protection is crucial for overall skin health.
