Check out these 8 great reasons to use ästhetik skincare’s vitamin c serum

1. Fights lines and wrinkles

When it comes to fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of your skin’s wear and tear, vitamin C is a handy tool to have in your arsenal.  Research has shown Vitamin C nutrient helps protect against damage and aids in skin regeneration, by neutralizing free radicals.

2. Revitalizes sun-damaged skin

Prolonged sun exposure does a number on the skin — flakiness, discolored patches (sunspots), rough areas, rosacea, etc. But topically applying a daily vitamin C dose may guard your skin from taking too much damage.

One study found people with mild to moderately photo-damaged skin experienced a significant improvement in skin appearance, including fine lines, roughness, and skin tone, after using topical vitamin C serum for 3 months.

3. Evens out tone and minimize redness

Blotchy, uneven skin can result from a number of factors, from sun exposure to hormones to medical conditions.

The good news is, vitamin C has proven itself a hearty warrior in the fight against redness, as it helps mend the damaged capillaries that cause this discoloration and strengthen them for the future.

4. Hydrates thirsty skin

With the average adult carrying 2 square metres or 22 square feet of skin on their body, this organ is certainly thirsty and deserves proper care.

You are made up of  64 percent water, so your skin needs to be kept hydrated, and your new friend vitamin C is here! It helps your skin retain water, preventing it from becoming too dry or oily.

5. Improves elasticity

Topical vitamin C has been shown to encourage collagen production, a naturally occurring protein in our body that helps give skin that tight, plump look.

Since the body naturally makes less and less collagen as it ages, using an ingredient like vitamin C can help slow down skin aging process.

6. Helps reduce inflammation

If your skin is red, irritated and showing signs of a rash, there’s a good chance that it’s an underlying immune response, infection, or allergic reaction is behind it. That said often these reactions come from bad skin care products and environmental toxins. 

Studies have shown topical vitamin C to be effective in relieving signs associated with inflammatory skin conditions. 

7. Eases hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation refers to dark patches of skin, caused when the body produces too much melanin (the pigment that gives your skin its color).

While generally not harmful, hyperpigmentation can prove unattractive — but consistently applying vitamin C serum has been shown to decrease its signs, as it inhibits production of tyrosinase, an enzyme that contributes to melanin production.

8. Aids healing

As if it didn’t already boast enough superpowers, vitamin C has been proven beneficial in helping repair wounds.

This is thought to be as a result of its ability to increase the movement and number of fibroblasts in our skin — the connective tissue cells that are key to the healing process.
