Vitamin C is one of the most popular ingredients in the world of skincare, appreciated for its many beneficial properties. This powerful antioxidant is known to fight free radicals, reduce dark spots, even out skin tone, and stimulate collagen production. However, despite its fame, there are several myths surrounding vitamin C that can lead to confusion or incorrect use of the ingredient.
Myth 1: Vitamin C is only suitable for young skin
One of the most widespread myths is that vitamin C is only useful for preventing the first signs of aging and is therefore intended for younger skin. This is false. Vitamin C is effective at all ages thanks to its antioxidant properties and ability to stimulate collagen production.
As we age, our natural collagen production decreases and our skin becomes more susceptible to free radical damage. By incorporating vitamin C into your daily skincare routine, you can improve the firmness and radiance of your skin, both in the early stages of aging and in the more advanced stages. Face D's Pure C Intensive Treatment , which combines pure vitamin C powder (800 mg) with hyaluronic acid, is a great ally for all skin types, regardless of age.
Myth 2: Vitamin C causes photosensitivity
There is a lot of confusion between the terms photosensitive and photosensitizing , often leading to the belief that vitamin C makes the skin more vulnerable to the sun. In reality, vitamin C is photosensitive , meaning it can degrade when exposed to sunlight, which is why it is important to store it in opaque packaging and apply it in combination with a sunscreen. However, it is not photosensitizing , meaning it does not increase the skin's sensitivity to UV rays.
In contrast, vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that protects the skin from damage caused by UV rays and other external agents. While it is not a substitute for sunscreen, vitamin C enhances the effectiveness of sunscreen by neutralizing free radicals generated by exposure to the sun. Using a product like Pure C in the morning, followed by a cream with SPF, is an ideal combination to keep skin protected and healthy.
Myth 3: All Vitamin C Products Are the Same
Vitamin C comes in many forms and concentrations, and not all products are created equal in terms of effectiveness. Formulations can vary greatly, and some products may contain too little to produce visible results.
Pure C by Face D offers a concentration of 16% pure vitamin C, which comes in the form of a powder to be mixed with hyaluronic acid. This innovative solution allows to maintain the stability and freshness of the ingredient until the moment of application, ensuring optimal results. In addition, the combination with hyaluronic acid offers deep hydration and improves the absorption of the product.
Myth 4: Vitamin C is an irritant to all skin types
Another common myth is that vitamin C is not suitable for sensitive skin due to the risk of irritation. In reality, a lot depends on the concentration and formulation of the product.
Pure C is designed to offer a gentle yet effective experience. The ability to mix pure vitamin C with hyaluronic acid allows for a gentle texture that reduces the risk of irritation even on the most reactive skin. For people with sensitive skin, it is recommended to start with applications every other day, gradually increasing the frequency.
Myth 5: Vitamin C can only be used during the day
Many people believe that vitamin C should only be used in the morning. While it is true that it is especially useful during the day to protect the skin from environmental damage, vitamin C can also be applied at night to promote cell renewal and support the skin's repair processes overnight.
Thanks to its versatility, Pure C can be integrated into both your morning and evening routine, adapting to your skin's specific needs.
Myth 6: Vitamin C cannot be combined with other active ingredients
There is a myth that vitamin C should not be combined with other active ingredients, such as retinol or exfoliating acids. In reality, with the right approach, it is possible to create highly effective combinations.
For example, using Pure C in the morning to protect the skin from oxidative damage and applying a retinol treatment at night is a great strategy to achieve visible results. In addition, vitamin C pairs perfectly with hyaluronic acid, as demonstrated by the formulation of Face D, which uses this combination to ensure hydration and luminosity.
Myth 7: Vitamin C is ineffective against dark spots
Some people question the effectiveness of vitamin C in treating dark spots and skin discoloration. In fact, vitamin C is one of the most effective ingredients for evening out skin tone and reducing the appearance of hyperpigmentation.
Pure C acts as an antioxidant booster that stimulates the production of new collagen and slows down photo-aging, limiting the formation of spots. With constant use, the skin appears visibly more uniform and luminous.
How to Integrate Vitamin C into Your Routine
Integrating vitamin C into your skincare routine is simple, but requires a few things to maximize its benefits:
-
Cleansing : Always start with clean skin to ensure the vitamin C is absorbed deeply.
-
Application : Apply Pure C in the morning or evening, following the instructions. The powder is mixed with hyaluronic acid to create a fresh and powerful solution.
-
SPF : If you use vitamin C in the morning, don't forget to apply sunscreen to enhance the antioxidant benefits.
