Hydrate skin

The majority of healthy skin and organs have high concentrations of vitamin C, which suggests that vitamin C builds up in the body through circulation, according to a 2017 assessment of the literature. The ascorbic acid type of topical vitamin C penetrates the skin the best, according to review authors.

A 2022 study found that magnesium ascorbyl phosphate, another vitamin C derivative used in skin care, had a moisturizing impact on the skin. It improves the retention of moisture in your skin by reducing transepidermal water loss (TEWL). A 2019 study found that a serum that decreased TEWL by 19% and enhanced skin barrier function contained Deschampsia Antarctica extract, ferulic acid, and vitamin C.

Without enough moisture, the epidermis, or the top layer of skin, begins to dry up, resulting in itchiness, scaliness, and early aging. Your skin needs to be properly hydrated to stay healthy and youthful-looking. Fortunately, vitamin C has been shown in studies to aid in the retention of water by the skin, keeping it smooth and plump and preventing it from being overly greasy or dry. Researchers discovered that people who received vitamin C supplements demonstrated considerable and long-lasting improvements in skin hydration, suppleness, and roughness.
