Vitamin C serum drastically helps decrease melanin formation. Melanin is the primary cause of dark spots, blemishes and uneven tone. It is the only antioxidant proven to increase collagen synthesis. Vitamin C Serum facilitates the healing of minor cuts and wounds as well as decreases the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Stability of Vitamin C is greatly affected by it's packaging and handling. Exposure to oxygen quickly deteriorates Vitamin C, thus products not packaged in an airless bottle will have short efficacy. Oxidized Vitamin C can actually prove to be harmful to your skin. Vitamin C Serums do not easily penetrate the skin. Vitamin C Serum must be over 10 percent in order to be effective. Testing has shown that a 20 percent concentration best penetrates the skin. The most effective form of Vitamin C for your skin is the L-Ascorbic Acid. Vitamin C vs. Free-Radicals: Vitamin antioxidants that can improve the appearance of fine lines on the skin include vitamin E and C, as well as the retinoids, which are derivatives of vitamin A. Antioxidants are thought to be beneficial due to their ability to reduce, neutralize, and prevent the damage done to the body by free-radicals. During the course of daily life, you are constantly subjected to potential sources that promote free-radical production. It is thought that the multiple benefits of antioxidants include their ability to reduce free-radical damage by blocking the oxidative processes in cells, inhibit inflammation that leads to collagen depletion, and offer protection against sun damage and skin cancer.
