All these affects the skin tone, causing various problems like premature ageing, fine lines, dark spots, wrinkles, rough dry , dullness, hyper pigmentation etc at a very young age.
It is very important to make sure the skin is treated well, as a beautiful skin needs no cosmetics to look good. If these conditions are ignored, it may undergo irreversible damage over time.

Using random products for skin care
Skin is a very sensitive part. There are several products available in the market that boasts us. It is important to understand the ingredients added in these products as too much chemical can harm in the long term and can worsen the effects.

How does Vitamin C aid in Skin care?

Vitamin C is present in most citrus fruits like oranges and lemons and is a great anti oxidant. It does great wonders to the body and skin. Unfortunately, when ingested orally, very little of the product reaches the skin. Hence researchers have found out an effective way of giving the skin it’s enough dose of vitamin C by promoting it as a cosmetic product.

VC 15 Vitamin C serum

There are a lot of vitamin C products that fail to produce the same effects as the VC 15 serum. The reason is that the purity of the substance is in question in case of the other brands. Marketed by Cipla, a leading pharmaceutical company, it contains L-ascorbic acid at a concentration of 15% and is a stable formulation with a pH level of 2.7.

The following are the properties of the serum:

* Easily absorbed by skin, due to the stable pH level
* Non comedogenic and hence does not block pores, causing acne and pimples
* Non irritant as no harmful chemical is used in the product
* Vitamin C is a great anti-oxidant
* Helps build collagen necessary for younger looking
* Locks in moisture in the skin for the whole day
* Protects from harmful UV radiations
* Prevents hyper pigmentation
* Comes with anti inflammatory properties
* Prevents melasma
* Prevents pre matured ageing
* Fights against dark patches, fine lines
* Brightens

Using the product

Since the composition consists of pure vitamin C, take very little (1-2 drops) of the product on your fingertips. Rub gently on the areas affected and massage until it is totally absorbed. Once the product is dry, this can be followed by using regular good quality cosmetics.

When it comes to products/drugs that are used by a person either orally or on the body, quality matters. Cheaper substitutes may harm the person and not produce even half the intended results. Choose wisely when it comes to caring for self. Do consult a dermatologist in case you suffer from skin issues that don’t heal even after usage of right products. Take care. Stay young.
