How Does Pure Vitamin C Benefit Skin Firmness?
Pure Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid) is an essential factor for collagen synthesis. It has been reported that Vitamin C directly stimulates fibroblasts to increase collagen production and also cause an increase in fibroblast proliferation potentially resulting in greater collagen production.
Not all forms of Vitamin C are the same. Pure Vitamin C is L-Ascorbic Acid. There are also synthetic forms of Vitamin C such as Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate. Pure Vitamin C is easily recognised and is readily incorporated into the skin versus some synthetic forms of Vitamin C. The derivatives of Vitamin C can also benefit the skin; however, they must be able to penetrate into the skin and then be converted to pure Vitamin C for the skin to recognise and utilise it.
Which skin types and skin concerns is the Ultra C Firming Range best for?
This range is suitable for normal, dry, oily and combination skin types, addressing concerns inclding loss of firmess, dullness and fine lines and wrinkles.
How do I incorporate Ultra C Firming products into my skincare routine?
Ultra C Firming Serum is best applied in the morning on clean, dry skin. As with all of our correctives, we recommend applying Ultra C Firming product once per day, on alternative days before building tolerance to apply daily.
What time of day should I apply Vitamin C?
Vitamin C may be applied topically to the skin either morning or evening. Always ensure that an SPF of 30+ is used as a minimum when using active treatment products.
How does your skin benefit from using Vitamin C regularly?
Using Vitamin C topically on a regular basis may assist to correct and prevent the skin from free radical damage, preserving and protecting skin cells from damage.
Is Vitamin C ideal for all skin types?
All skin types can benefit from this ingredient, particularly ageing skin - for its ability to firm and reduce the signs of premature skin ageing. However, it is important to build tolerance with use, especially for those with sensitive skin who may find it slightly irritating at first. We always recommend speaking directly with an Ultra Skin Expert for personalised advice by booking an online skin consultation or visiting your local Ultra clinc.
When will I start seeing results from Vitamin C treatment?
Results are always dependent on the concern being treated and the triggering factors of the concern. With this in mind, most results should be recognised within a 90-day period.
Is it safe to be in the sun after using Vitamin C?
The use of sunscreen daily is highly recommended no matter what active treatment products are being used on the skin. However, the fact Vitamin C reduces reactive oxygen species, it works to protect the cells from harmful free radical damage that is induced by the sun’s rays. It is because of this action that it is of benefit to use a Vitamin C underneath your daily SPF 30, 50 or 50+.
