Antioxidants are everywhere in skincare but few ingredients are as well-studied, misunderstood, or overcomplicated as vitamin C.
In this episode of the After Hours Skin Clinic, consultant dermatologists Dr Emma Craythorne and Dr Ellie Rashid revisit one of our most requested topics: topical vitamin C. They break down the science behind how vitamin C works on the skin, what benefits are genuinely evidence-based, and how to use it properly for maximum results.
From collagen production and pigmentation to oxidative stress and UV protection, this episode explains why vitamin C remains the gold-standard antioxidant in dermatology and why drinking it is not the same as applying it to your skin.
This episode also covers:
- What antioxidants actually do at a cellular level
- Why vitamin C is different from other antioxidants
- The only form of vitamin C supported by strong clinical evidence
- Ideal strength, formulation, and pH for effectiveness
- Why vitamin C should only be used in the morning
- Common formulation mistakes that make vitamin C ineffective
- How packaging, expiry dates, and stability affect results
- Which skin types benefit most and who should be cautious
If you’ve ever wondered whether vitamin C is worth the investment, how to choose the right one, or why some formulas work and others don’t, this episode gives you clear, practical, science-backed answers.
Products mentioned:
- Skinceuticals C E Ferulic
- Skinceuticals Silymarin CF Serum For Blemish Prone Skin
- Skinceuticals Phloretin CF Gel For Skin Discolouration
