How Vitamin C benefits your skin
DEFENDS AGAINST FREE RADICALS
Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is an antioxidant. This means it can neutralise harmful free radicals created in your skin after sun damage. So while Vitamin C cannot protect your skin the way an SPF sunscreen does, it will minimise the harmful effects that's invisible to the eye.
BOOSTS COLLAGEN PRODUCTION
Vitamin C is a key component in stabilising and creating collagen; making it as one of the most reliable anti-ageing ingredients on the market. Research has also shown that Vitamin C can also increase the quality of the collagen created in your body.
REDUCES BROWN SPOTS
Vitamin C also aids in your skin's ability to heal itself; including unwanted red and brown spots. Add to that its anti-inflammatory properties that combat acne and rosacea, and you have a very useful tool in your arsenal that pulls double duty: preventing future damage and resolving any pre-existing ones.
Vitamin c for your skin – consumables or topicals?
Solely for the benefit of your skin, topical sources of Vitamin C is the way to go.
This is because the absorption of ingested Vitamin C, even with a high dosage, is finite; the bioavailability of Vitamin C is inadequate in the skin. Comparatively, topical Vitamin C performs significantly better.
But not all topical Vitamin Cs are made equal. Vitamin C is highly unstable on its own, and will oxidise easily. The oxidised form, Dehydro Ascorbic Acid (DHAA), imparts a yellow colour to the skin when applied. This is why it's important to take note of the shelf life of topical Vitamin C products.

Minor adverse reactions, if any, include a yellowish discolouration of the skin which will dissipate over time, and although rare, skin irritation in some hypersensitive individuals with prolonged exposure to the sun.
