Vitamin C is best known for immune support but its impact on skin is just as important!
It plays a critical role in collagen production, helping stabilize and strengthen the fibers that keep skin firm and smooth. Without enough vitamin C, collagen can’t form properly.
In one population study of women, higher vitamin C intake was associated with ~11% less visible skin wrinkling—reinforcing its role in maintaining healthy, resilient skin.
When supported at the level of the skin, vitamin C can help improve brightness and overall radiance.
During your next visit, don’t hesitate to ask your provider which topical vitamin C options may be right for your skin.
