Topical vitamin C serum should be an essential part of your daily skin care routine. The benefits of topical vitamin C are varied and proven, and below, we'll go over how to use this powerhouse ingredient to its maximum potential.

The most important benefits of vitamin c for skin care are:

• It improves the texture of your skin and reduces the appearance of wrinkles (clinical study)
• It can reduce dark spots, also known as "sun spots" or "age spots" (clinical study)
• Combined with sunscreen, Vitamin C serum can protect your skin from sun exposure and the long-term effects of sun damage (clinical study)
• Vitamin C serum can also reduce acne because of its anti-inflammatory properties and ability to clear oil on the skin (clinical study)
  
  

Vitamin C is also an antioxidant, meaning it can reduce free radicals on the skin, which improves overall skin health and decreases the risks of illnesses like skin cancer.

While using vitamin C in any capacity can offer these many benefits, there are tips for using topical vitamin C serum that will make it work better, and more quickly.

Should I use vitamin C morning or night?

The best time to use Vitamin C serum on your skin is in the morning along with your sunscreen because Vitamin C can reduce the damaging effects of ultraviolet rays. However, you can also incorporate vitamin c into your nighttime routine because, overnight, it can work to even out your skin tone and reduce wrinkles.
