What it is
Vitamin C participates in antioxidant activity and collagen synthesis. Skin penetration and stability depend on concentration, pH, chemical form and vehicle; derivatives are not interchangeable.
Evidence basis: Human clinical evidence
At a glance
What it is, why people use it, the evidence, and what to know before trying it.
Why people use it
- Cosmetic skin appearance
Evidence at a glance
Biological rationale and small human studies suggest possible cosmetic effects, but formulation-dependent delivery limits generalization. Evidence for one preparation does not establish results for an unnamed Bliss serum or every vitamin C derivative.
Confidence: weak
Practice safety
Situations where this practice may need modification or professional guidance.
Acidic or multi-ingredient products can irritate sensitive skin. Follow the label, stop use after a reaction and retain appropriate sun protection; a vitamin C serum is not sunscreen.
