The 7 Biggest Things You Need to Know About Vitamin C Serums

12/20/2021

Ask a dozen dermatologists about their favorite skin care ingredient, and you’ll likely get a dozen love letters about vitamin C. “It’s one of the few ingredients that both protects and repairs skin, but is also tolerated by a vast majority of patients,” says Dr. Titilola Sode, a board-certified dermatologist in Dallas. But not all vitamin C serums are equally effective, and the wrong formula, packaging or even application can render it useless. So before you stock up on serums, make sure you’ve got these seven vitamin C facts straight.

It’s shockingly good at protecting your face.

“On a cellular level, vitamin C is a great antioxidant—it hunts down and destroys the free radicals in your skin, which break down the DNA of everything that keeps you youthful,” says Dr. Sode. Free radicals can’t be avoided—they come from sunlight, pollution, chemicals and even our own bodies—but they can be neutralized by vitamin C.

It needs to be closest to your skin.

“Vitamin C needs to be the first thing that goes on your face in the morning, otherwise it’s not going to absorb and protect your skin,” says Dr. Sode. So all those toners and essences you’ve been massaging on before your vitamin C? Move ’em to the P.M.
