Get to Know Beauty’s #1 Ingredient: Vitamin C and Why Your Skin Loves It

At Dr.eve_ryouth, we’re passionate about science-backed skincare—especially when it comes to anti-ageing and achieving healthy, radiant skin. One powerhouse ingredient we swear by? Vitamin C.
Chances are, you’ve heard of it as a must-have in your daily supplements, or seen it pop up in countless skincare products. But why is Vitamin C such a star ingredient? And more importantly, why do we use it in our products?
Let’s break it down.
Vitamin C: Your Skin’s Natural Defender
Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is an essential antioxidant found naturally in your skin. It plays a major role in collagen production, cell repair, and protection against UV damage. Unfortunately, as we age or experience environmental stress (sun exposure, pollution, diet), the skin’s natural Vitamin C levels decrease—making it more prone to dullness, fine lines, and pigmentation.
That’s where topical skincare comes in.
Why Add Vitamin C to Your Skincare Routine?
1. Boosts Natural Collagen Production
Your body makes collagen, but Vitamin C acts like a cheerleader—encouraging faster, better collagen synthesis. The result? Firmer, plumper, more youthful-looking skin.
2. Evens Skin Tone & Brightens
Say goodbye to brown spots and sun damage. Vitamin C inhibits excess melanin production, helping reduce hyperpigmentation and reveal a more radiant complexion.
3. Repairs Damaged Skin
Whether from the sun, pollution, or lack of sleep, Vitamin C works to regenerate cells, replacing damaged skin with fresh, healthy ones—restoring your skin’s natural glow.
4. Provides Extra Protection
While Vitamin C is not a substitute for SPF, it works alongside your sunscreen to neutralize free radicals, shield against UV damage, and form a barrier against pollution—all while fighting visible signs of ageing.
But If It’s Already in My Body, Why Do I Need It in My Skincare?
Great question. While Vitamin C is present in a healthy diet and circulates in your body, your skin is a multi-layered organ—and not all nutrients from your diet make it to the outer layers where they’re most needed. That’s why topical application is so effective: it delivers Vitamin C directly to your skin’s surface, right where it matters.
How Much Is Enough?
Even as little as 0.6% Vitamin C in your skincare routine can make a difference. Many serums go up to 15–20%, but consistency and formulation are key.
Our Favourite Combo: Vitamin C + Hyaluronic Acid
We’ve paired Vitamin C with Hyaluronic Acid to create a hydrating, brightening, and smoothing serum that gives your skin the nourishment it craves. It's gentle enough for daily use and powerful enough to show visible results.
Final Thoughts
