A Vitamin C oil is a topical skincare product formulated with a high concentration of Vitamin C, a potent antioxidant known for its role in collagen synthesis and its ability to combat free radicals. This oil is designed to penetrate the skin’s outer layer and deliver Vitamin C directly to the dermis, enhancing the skin’s natural ability to repair and protect itself. Typically derived from L-ascorbic acid or its more stable derivatives, Vitamin C oil often includes additional ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ferulic acid, or vitamin E to maximize efficacy and stability. The product is usually water-based or oil-based, tailored to suit different skin types, and is applied as part of a skincare routine to improve the skin’s overall health and appearance.

Vitamin C inhibits melanin production, which can help fade hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and sun damage, resulting in a more even and radiant complexion.

By promoting collagen synthesis, Vitamin C helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improving skin elasticity and firmness over time.
