This Vitamin C serum has been a game-changer for my skin
Adding a new serum to your skincare routine is always a good idea, but it can also cause problems.
We need to follow expert advice rather than slather every trending beauty product on TikTok onto our faces.
Vitamin C skincare products have been growing in popularity recently, and we’re not surprised.
Vitamin C products can brighten and firm your skin, which can give it a much-needed boost in the winter months.
But how do you know what products are right for you?
Skincare expert Ciara O’Droighneain, Dermalogica Ireland Education Manager, spoke to Her.ie about adding Vitamin C into your skincare routine.
She explained: “Vitamin C is considered essential for healthy skin, and it is a powerhouse ingredient for brightening, firming, and defending. It has the ability to brighten the skin as it has been shown to stop the excess formation of pigmentation.”
One of the best things about Vitamin C is its powerful antioxidant.
“It defends any free radicals that may be causing your skin to be dull or even be degrading your collagen.
“It has the ability to stimulate collagen, as it can regulate the production of collagen. Vitamin C also inhibits the enzymes that break down collagen,” says Ciara.
One important thing to know before introducing Vitamin C into your skincare
“One thing to note about Vitamin C is that it’s highly unstable meaning that it can oxidize in the bottle before you even use it.
“You want to make sure you choose the right Vitamin C product that doesn’t oxide, like Dermalogica’s Violumin-C Vitamin-c Serum, so your skin receives all of its goodness.”
I’ve been using this serum for the last two weeks and have already noticed a major improvement in my skin. It feels smoother and brighter after just a handful of uses.
