Bright, Firm, and Protected: The Role of Vitamin C in Skincare

Vitamin C should be a vital component to your daily skincare regime. It is a powerful antioxidant that assists the cells in fighting off free radicals that damage our skins natural Elastin fibres and Collagen proteins. Damage to these components of the skin result in premature aging and the formation of fine lines and wrinkles on the skin. Vitamin C plays a pivotal role in the production of not only Collagen, but maintains the skins elasticity, firmness and structure.

By stimulating collagen synthesis within the skin, we can promote a more plump, youthful appearance on the skin. In addition to assisting the skin in slowing down the loss of this protein in the skin, Vitamin C also allows for overall improvement in the skins texture.

Vitamin C can improve darkened areas on the skin, also known as hyperpigmentation, including melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and age spots, by brightening the skin, and evening out the skin tone, as well as act as a protection to the skins cells by shielding the skin from the harmful effects of UV damage. This is achieved by Vitamin C inhibiting melanin synthesis by slowing down the activity of an enzyme known as tyrosinase.

Although Vitamin C is not in any way a substitute for sun protection, Vitamin C, paired with the correct sun protection, is the ultimate protection against the effects of UVA and UVB damage on in the skin.

Incorporating products such as the SkincareRx C-Fix Crystals, which will amp up any serum by delivering Vitamin C into the skin in its most concentrated form, to rejuvenate the skin while fighting the effects of aging and pigmentation, or TheraVine’s Anti-Wrinkle Skin Booster which not only smoothes out the appearance of deep lines and wrinkles, but also enhances collagen synthesis and inhibits melanin synthesis.
