Vitamin C

I always forgot to take my vitamin C after my other supplements. Around my jaw, I had a lot of small rough bumps & pimples. In one of my school assignments, I read about a woman who would eat lots of citrus for her complexion. I thought, 'I have vitamin C in the fridge, it's the same concept, it shouldn't hurt, right'? Well a few days later I realised that my skin (with the exception of a few pimples) was smooth!! It did help with *some* of the pimples on my jaw but its biggest help was getting rid of the small bumps (they were like bumps you'd get from makeup but I hadn't worn makeup around that time). It may or may not work for you but there's no harm in trying vitamin C. I take 2000 mg a day.

I've been taking 2000 mg per day of vitamin c I already see results and it's been nearly one week.Iam also using it with Benzaclin that the docter prescribed me my face is 80% clear and my post acne marks/ hyperpigmentation is 80% gone. Vitamin c is good for overall health and is amazing at fighting acne,post acne marks, and uneven skin tone.

Do use this product and give it a try. This is because you not only need it for acne but also for overall health.

I've been using Vitamin C for a week and it has helped my small/medium acne scars heal nicely. It definitely isn't an overnight solution to get rid of acne/acne scars (at least not for me), but it is worth a try because it has sped up the healing process. My skin tone looks almost the way that it would look in the summer time which is great!! I started out taking 2,000 mg of Vitamin C for 3 days (plus 60 mg that is in a Daily Multiple Vitamin that I take). On the third day, 2 pimples that were inactive under my skin flared up very quickly and I was able to pop both of them (luckily!). After the third day, I decided to cut back to 1,060 mg of Vitamin C per day plus eating a couple of oranges. Since then, the Vitamin C caused two other pimples to flare up on my chin. I get those under the skin/cyst-like pimples on my chin so I have to stop with the Vitamin C. It's a shame that Vitamin C is causing pimples on my chin because it has worked nicely on the rest of my face :( Even with the pimples that have popped up on my chin, I'd still recommend trying Vitamin C. I'll just stick with taking what is in my Daily Multiple Vitamin and eating some oranges. It's worth a try, but just know that it most likely won't be an overnight solution and it's possible that it may cause acne to flare up.

Vitamin C works in COMBINATION with a healthy lifestyle.. for the majority of people don't expect to have great skin if you're not treating your body well! I was at my wits end, ready to contemplate going back on birth control simply because when I get off of it, my skin FREAKS out into moderately severe cystic acne, and then I become depressed... Well, I bought a great book called Healing Adult Acne, by Doctor Richard Fried, a dermatologist, and psychologist .. He explains both the physical and emotional impacts of acne and helps women cope with stress, anxiety, and depression related to acne! Great book, taught me a lot about the true hormonal and follicle causes of acne He recommends Vitamin C in addition to a well balanced diet, lots of water and moderate exercise, topical retinoids or AHAs... try it -- but caution if on birth control like yaz, yasmin, or ocella it warns NOT to mix the two . I am choosing to forgo yasmin or ocella BCP because the side effects are crazy and acne comes back with vengence when stopped taking.. so I'd rather apply retinoids and ingest vitamins and have a healthy body, than a body at risk with age prone to break outs when stopping the hormone treatments!!

I've been using a product called invicible scars. The vitamin c is not oxidizing which other creams have a problem, and together with dimethicone it makes my skin feel good and makes my dots not as red.

Oral Vit C work well on acne, but topical Vit C can cause acne in some, not all people. With me, I get severe acne from topical vit C creams. If Vit C does not give you acne then make sure you add it in right before you apply it because it oxidizes so fast that it is not doing a darn thing because it is already oxidized. It has even lost its ability to lighten the scars....and you are paying extra for that vit c in the creams. Topical vit c works wonders for anti-aging also, so if it doesn't cause acne for a certain individual then it is a must to add to your cream before you apply. Try the anti-aging supplement at marie [link removed]. I unfortunately have to give it to my mother who doesn't get acne.

I would recommend it, but for your well being. Doesn ´t really help acne if used alone.

If you have skin like mine..EXTREMELY red and inflammed acne all over(even my derm was like wow youre really inflammed) lol also about a million post acne marks that are dark red/purple colored and have bad uneven toned skin (not rosacea) but just really red in places and then really white...then vitamin-c is for you AND your redness haha. I boutght a bottle and have been taking 2,000 mg a day about 2 days ago and my skin has a gorgeous natural EVEN blush to it and i swear it looks like i have makeup on or something it looks so healthy. Scars are fading FAST I already see a huge improvement. Must take atleast 2,000 mg to see a difference and also add curcumin and/or cinnamon supplements to prevent the acne itself! please try! Nothing has ever worked for my inflammation until vit-c..who knew the natural way would be the most affective way..you would never know because doctor's won't tell you they need to make money off of unhealthy perscriptions..

Bottom line Vita C helps but I think it should be taken with high doses of Pantothenic Acid aka Vita B5 I have not tried it but I think that the effects that B5 has on your skin added with the effects of Vita C it might just do the trick....drinking lots of water and eating a more balanced diet has also helped
