Vitamin C

Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) is the most clinically validated antioxidant in skincare. It brightens, protects, and stimulates collagen synthesis — making it essential for both professional treatments and daily skincare routines.

What Is Vitamin C in Skincare?

L-ascorbic acid is the most bioactive form of Vitamin C for topical application. It neutralises free radicals caused by UV exposure and pollution, inhibits melanin production to reduce dark spots, and directly stimulates fibroblasts to produce collagen. The challenge has always been stability — pure Vitamin C oxidises rapidly when exposed to air and light.

Skymedic's stabilised Vitamin C formulations use advanced encapsulation technology to maintain potency until the moment of application. Our serums deliver clinical concentrations (15-20%) that match the levels used in published research.

Clinical Evidence

A 12-week clinical trial showed 87% of participants experienced visibly brighter, more even skin tone. Hyperpigmentation scores improved by an average of 34%, while collagen density increased by 22%.

For Aesthetic Professionals

Vitamin C is an essential component of pre and post-treatment protocols. Applied before procedures, it primes the skin and enhances healing. Post-treatment, it accelerates recovery and protects against hyperpigmentation. Include it in every patient's home care routine.
