The Benefits of Vitamin C for Skin and How to Add It to Your Skincare Routine

Let’s look at all the ways Vitamin C can help reveal fresh and bright looking complexion!

What is Vitamin-C?

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant and when it’s applied to your skin, it can have many beneficial effects on the overall appearance of your complexion..

Vitamin C helps to make your skin appear more even. Dark spots increase in frequency as our skin ages, so using a product formulated to fade them can help you achieve a more youthful appearance. Vitamin C for dark spots can help brighten the appearance of skin over time.

What are the benefits of Vitamin C?

1. Brightening

Is your skin looking dull? Vitamin C can help make it look brighter. It does this by encouraging surface skin cell turnover which helps reveal a more radiant layer of skin while shedding older and dead skin cells. It will help reveal a new dimension of skin and it will look more energized and feel softer. The Garnier Vitamin-C Night Serum contains 10% pure and natural origin Vitamin C, and that is our highest concentration of pure Vitamin C so far. This Vitamin C serum for face activates during the night when the skin is most receptive to regenerate, making nighttime the best time to fight dark spots and dullness in depth as it absorbs the benefits of Vitamin C much better. After the first morning, your skin will look smoother, suppler. After 3 nights, your skin will visibly look brighter and healthier. One of our best Vitamin C serums and one of your best allies for healthy-looking skin!

2. Helps Fade The Appearance Of Dark Spots

Vitamin C has naturally exfoliating qualities which can help with skin issues such as dark spots. The antioxidant is particularly effective when used over a longer period of time to fade the appearance of hyperpigmented areas of your skin. Daily usage of a moisturizer formulated with Vitamin C will lessen the appearance of dark spots and give you luminous skin. Remember to always apply a broad-spectrum SPF, like our Ombrelle Daily UV to prevent new spots from forming.

How do I add it into my skincare routine?

There are many products on the market that are formulated with Vitamin C. One of the best ways to incorporate Vitamin C into your routine is with a serum. Serums are readily absorbed by skin and can have lots of benefits such as helping to restore skin elasticity and fading the appearance of dark spots over time. Try making Vitamin C a part of your routine by applying a serum after using Garnier Vitamin C Micellar Water as your facial cleanser. You can use serum both in the mornings or evenings by applying 3-4 drops onto your face. After applying the serum, make sure to use a hydrating moisturizer, such as our Vitamin-C Brightening Day Cream to lock in Vitamin C’s skin-brightening and texture-improving qualities.
