Vitamin C in Cosmetics
Our French Filler Beauty experts decode the benefits of vitamin C for you!
TOPICAL VITAMIN C PROTECTS THE SKIN AGAINST SIGNS OF AGING AND NEUTRALIZES FREE RADICALS
Vitamin C serum is an essential step in any skincare routine. These highly concentrated synergistic antioxidant products are designed for optimal absorption.
Medical studies have recently proven that topical vitamin C serums like the C-filler product help prevent the damaging effects caused by free radicals, which are responsible for skin aging. Topical vitamin C helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and pigment spots.
WHAT EXACTLY IS VITAMIN C IN COSMETICS?
Unlike other vitamins, vitamin C cannot be created naturally by the body, so it must be created synthetically.
Considered one of the most powerful and effective antioxidants, vitamin C offers superior environmental protection and visible anti-aging benefits such as reducing wrinkles, premature skin sagging, and pigmentation imperfections (spots, radiance). It is a benchmark molecule for antioxidant anti-aging treatments.
Vitamin C helps neutralize free radicals and protect against excessive oxidative stress.
OXIDATIVE STRESS, FREE RADICALS, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
Free radicals (unstable molecules with unpaired electrons) are produced by the skin due to environmental factors such as UV rays, infrared, pollution, and smoking.
They lead to premature skin aging.
Free radicals try to "take" these electrons from healthy molecules, which leads to oxidative stress. Over time, free radical damage leads to accelerated signs of skin aging, including wrinkles, fine lines, pigmentation imperfections, and sagging.
The vitamin C contained in C-Filler serum protects the skin against this damage by "providing" electrons to neutralize harmful free radicals, which helps prevent premature skin aging.
Vitamin C is therefore a vital molecule for skin health and appearance that protects the skin against daily external aggressions.
WHAT IF I TAKE A VITAMIN C TABLET EVERY DAY?
Oral intake of vitamin C is beneficial for general health, but for the skin, don't expect too much!
When taken orally, vitamin C is absorbed into the stomach, then distributed throughout the body. By the time vitamin C reaches the skin, its concentration level for absorption by the skin is very low and therefore insufficient.
To have an active concentration of vitamin C on the skin, it is preferable to apply a serum, which is the best cosmetic form to penetrate and act on the skin barrier.
