Nowadays face serum is very popular and different types of face serum are used in skin care routine. Now call it the influence of Korean skincare routine or call it more awareness about skincare that people like it. Many dermatologists also consider the use of face serum as the basic step of the skin. According to many, face serum should be applied first on the skin so that it has more effect on your skin.

Due to this, people have now started using Vitamin-C serum more. We know that Vitamin C is good for the skin, but one thing should also be understood is it good for your skin and is it working?

Dr. Jayshree Sharad, FAAD Board Certified Dermatologist and Founder of Skin 'Infinity by Jayshree' and author of several books has shared information related to this on her Instagram account. He has given the benefits of Vitamin-C serum and also that it can be used in many formulations.

What are the benefits of Vitamin-C serum?

Vitamin C serum is a very powerful antioxidant which helps a lot in removing fine lines from your face. It also reduces the size of skin pores and is good for problems like hyperpigmentation. It can prove to be a powerful anti-ageing product for your skin as it increases the formation of skin collagen. Along with this, it also protects you from UV rays and blue light.

That's why it is said that Vitamin-C serum can prove to be good.

Formulations of Vitamin-C Serum

How this serum affects your skin depends on its formulation. One type of serum doesn't need to affect every skin. For example, a serum with L-ascorbic acid will either prove to be very good or it can be unstable for your skin.

A serum with tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate works and is also stable on the skin. This doesn't create a reaction situation. Similarly, different formulations have different effects on your skin. So first understand your skin type and then choose a serum for yourself.

What kind of concentration should be there?

The effect on your skin depends on the concentration of Vitamin C in the serum. If it is less than 10% then it may not work at all. If it is more than 20% then it will have a very bad effect on your skin. Skin irritation may occur.
