Longing for brighter, more radiant skin? We’re always on the lookout for ways to boost our skin and vitamin C is one of the must-have skingredients that’s made it on to our radar. So, what’s the big deal with vitamin C? We talk you through the need-to-knows.
Dermatologist recommended skincare
The environment can have a big impact on your skin. Throughout the day, skin is bombarded by free radical aggressors from things like pollution and UV rays.
This can damage your skin (a process called cellular oxidation), causing inflammation and depleting collagen and elastin levels, which can lead to fine lines beginning to appear and skin becoming dull.
But where does vitamin C come into this? Vichy’s Consultant Dermatologist Dr Mary Sommerlad is on hand to explain.
“Not only can vitamin C help brighten the appearance of the skin”, says Dr Mary, “it also helps neutralise free radicals which can accelerate the ageing of the skin.” The good news is that the antioxidant effects of vitamin C “helps to brighten the skin, providing a radiant appearance”.

How to add vitamin C into your skincare routine
Now you know the ins and outs of vitamin C, you’ll be keen to add it to your skincare regime.
“Any serum should go on after cleansers and before moisturisers and sunscreens” advises Dr Mary. If you’re layering serums, apply vitamin C “several minutes before any other serum. If you use retinol (vitamin A) as part of your evening routine, it's best to implement vitamin C into your morning routine instead, as this avoids any risk of irritation.”
