Should you apply vitamin C to your skin?
Topical Vitamin C has several benefits for skin including hydrating, reducing redness, and hyperpigmentation.
According to Healthline, it may also help to promote collagen production and reduce the appearance of sun damage.
Research shows that it is safe for most skin types but may cause irritation in concentrations above 20%.
Experts recommend doing a patch test on a small skin area and waiting 24 hours to see if there are side effects before applying it to your face.
Discontinue topical use of vitamin C if you experience rashes, redness, or hives.
