How Vitamin C Works


It was 84 yesterday, and it's only February so I decided that it's time to start talking about the importance of Vitamin C and skincare. Let’s make this short and sweet!

Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) is one of the relatively few topical agents whose effectiveness against wrinkles and fine lines is backed by a fair amount of reliable scientific evidence. Ascorbic Acid has been proven to be photo-protective; a formidable defense against solar-induced free radicals. It plays a potent role in diminishing the effects of free radical damage and in this role can be quite effective as a protectant from ultra violet light damage.

Vitamin C as an Antioxidant: Ultraviolet radiation can generate oxygen free radicals that cause aging of the skin. Vitamin C can act as a first defense, against some of these radicals.


Vitamin C and Collagen: Collagen is a key component of most tissues. Vitamin C works as an essential factor for the normal formation, maintenance and structural stability of collagen.


Topical Vitamin C has shown to protect the skin from UV damage caused by prolonged sun exposure by reducing the amount of free radical formation and/or sunburn cells. As a result Vitamin C plays an essential part in slowing down photoageing.

So, cleanse daily with your Vibran-C Cleanser, followed by Vibran-C Mist, C Serum 20%, Vibran-C Creme with Ceramides, and your Vibran-C Day Lotion spf 15. And don’t forget to use your Vibran C Mask and Peel frequently, knowing that you are doing some good as well as feeling good!
