Doctor’s Guide To Using Vitamin C

By Dr Samridhi Sharma I Skin expert, FCL

What it is and how it works?

If you are a skincare enthusiast, you must have heard of Vitamin C serum in various forms, such as face wash, serums, and moisturizers. When applied topically, Vitamin C has multiple skin benefits. It is present in natural food sources like kiwis, oranges, and grapefruits but doesn’t promise to get straightaway absorbed into the skin. This wonder ingredient is an amazing antioxidant for the skin, providing a radiant and luminous glow. Multiple researches also prove the anti-aging benefits of Vitamin C.

Also known as L-ascorbic Acid, it is a water-soluble vitamin that protects skin cells from internal and external damage such as UVA, UVB rays, pollution, illness, and damage caused by wearing makeup, thereby generating the cells at a cellular level.

How to start using Vitamin C Serum in your daily regimen?

Vitamin C is safe for all skin types, but for acne-prone skin, it is always advisable to consult a dermatologist before using Vitamin C, as there are higher chances of irritation and dryness.

Before starting a Vitamin C serum it is important to do a patch test to assess any kind of allergic reaction or skin sensitivity.

How to do a patch test?

Select a small area of skin and apply 1-2 drops of Vitamin C serum on your forearm or nape of the neck and leave it for a few minutes to see, if there is no redness, erythema, or itching, you can continue the application.

What combinations work the best with Vitamin C?

  1. Vitamin C + Hyaluronic acid can be used in AM regimen
  2. Vitamin C + Peptides can be used in combination
  3. Vitamin C + Ferulic acid can be used AM/PM
  4. Vitamin C + Vitamin E can be mixed
  5. Vitamin C + Retinol can be used as an AM/PM application
  6. Vitamin C + Niacinamide used in AM/PM
  7. Vitamin C + SPF

Which Ingredients Should Not Be Paired With Vitamin C?

Alpha Hydroxyl groups like Lactic Acid, Malic Acid, and Glycolic Acid should be avoided. Beta Hydroxy Acids like Salicylic Acid can be used separately but not together because it can irritate if applied together.

So if you want to reap its anti-aging, collagen-boosting, and skin-brightening benefits you should always consult your dermatologist and get the best of Vitamin C products in the market.
