Everyone wants bright, glowy skin, but not everyone knows how to get it. There are a ton of skincare products you can use to help get your skin’s natural glow back, but they’ll all fall short if they don’t have one crucial ingredient: Vitamin C.
This amazing vitamin is also a powerful antioxidant that protects the skin from sun damage and other skin-irritating agents. “Like all antioxidants, vitamin C can help fight free radicals from all environmental aggressors,” dermatologist Dennis Gross, M.D., tells SELF. “I think of [free radicals] as antioxygen bombs that trigger inflammation and cascades of damage. The antioxidant quenches that. It puts out the fuse.”
It can also help reduce the appearance of dark spots to reveal a healthy, clear complexion. “It reduces the activity of the enzyme that leads to the production of pigment, but it also addresses the existing discoloration,” says Gross.
