| Pros | starts to brighten skin... |
|---|---|
| Cons | Causes horrible deep cystic acne - and I usually don't have that problem! Vitamin C is in 80% of facial creams now so finding one that is free of it is tiring... you have to read ingredients VERY carefully because it has at least 15 different names. |
| Bottom line | I am talking uniquely about TOPICAL vitamin C, in facial creams and serums. I have not tried taking it internally. But I am so frustrated because for two years now I have been battling this but find next to no info on the web about it. Topical Vitamin C causes severe acne on my skin, every time, without fail. It sucks because most other women (if not all) find that it does heavenly things... life's not fair!! |

| Pros | good for you, cheap |
|---|---|
| Cons | just didn't work well for me. |
| Bottom line | I saw little to no improvement while taking vitamin c. It may work for others. Apple cider vinegar (drink) and fish oil keep me clear. |
| Recommended | No |
| Acne severity | moderately severe |

| Pros | Easy to take, inexpensive, works better than anything else I've ever tried. |
|---|---|
| Cons | None |
| Bottom line | I have battled with cystic acne since I was 13. I'm now 44 and in the past few years it has gotten so bad that every couple of months I had to go on antibiotics for the boils. About a year ago I started a vitamin regimen that included 500 mg of vitamin C as well as garlic and vitamin E. I wasn't sure which one it was that cured me, but after 2 weeks, I completely stopped breaking out. When I ran out of the Vitamin C (Kirkland brand non-chewable) I replaced it with a Chewable brand and my acne started to come back. I quickly went back on the Kirkland and my face is clear again. Don't know why no one ever told me about this before. I would have far fewer scars now if I had known. |

| Pros | no acnes, no more reduce excess oil on my face |
|---|---|
| Cons | nothing so far |
| Bottom line | I used to use so many facial wash, starting from light for skin, till some that costs expensive, but my acnes were still comes out Then I started thinking that maybe I need some teratment inside So I bought a bottle of vitamin C, 1000mg, consists of 30 tablets for a month. I drink 1 tablet each day before sleep. In the morning, I wash my face, and I suprised that I have no oil on my face! Also, my face skin looks brighter and soften. I have so many acne scar, and now it's starting to fade! I think the best treatment is not from outside, but inside, and Vitamin C does really work to me! :) But I now stick to Clearasil face wash, and apply some tea tree oil on my face before sleep, then get drink of vitamin C. And they work all together. |

| Pros | brightens and produces collegen,strengthens skin. |
|---|---|
| Cons | nothing really. |
| Bottom line | i read that men should take 90 milligrams a day and women should take 75 millagrams a day. any more its a waste of money. but some vitamin c serums can break you out. im kinda experimenting with them. i tell you the best one later. ive tried the md skincare hydrapure c serum,but it is way too expensive and very very little product. it made my face look lighter and less red,but i only used it for 4 days ,im taking it back. chewable ester c vitamins are probably the best bet,because it wont cause damage to your stomach,ect. and its chewy.lol |

| Pros | Started working by the end of the say that i started using it! I took 4000mg of it a day, about 1000mg hourly 4x |
|---|---|
| Cons | I had to leave the house to get to the grocery store. |
| Bottom line | This stuff is amazing! I am EXTREMELY happy with it, i dont know what the acne labels are and stuff but i would like to say i had pretty sever acne, covering my jaw line i had red marks and a couple white heads, it was a complete confidence killer, the redness from the acne would just not go away and i had those nasty purple blood marks under the skin, well i started taking the vitamin C and the next day i looked at my cheek and one of the marks was completely gone and the other was fading, all my other acne bumps are not as red and fading away very quickly! I cant put all the thanks to vitamin C as iv also been on a junk food free diet, i drink ONLY water and tea, lots of fruits, dermatologist prescribed minocycline 100mg, and 2 other topical creams that iv been on for about 3 weeks now. I can finally leave the house without wearing makeup and im a guy! so thats a huge relief. I have the best skin i have ever had in the last 2 years. I just think Vitamin C helped reduce the redness. |

| Pros | Cleared up my skin within a week, all my blotches and purple marks from acne are fading alot faster too |
|---|---|
| Cons | None |
| Bottom line | I never take the time to write on these forums, but i was searching for help with my incredibly stubborn acne. I had taken accutane for six months and it worked like a miracle. I went from having cystic acne for four years to looking like ive never had a pimple in my life. But after a few months all of my acne returned and i was very upset. I didnt know what to do, I didnt want to go back onto accutane bc I was suppose to get a series of chemical peels done. I looked into taking vitamins. I heard great reviews about vitamin c and so i tried it bc i had nothing else left. well wow my skin is glowing, it looks fantastic, my acne has dissapeared within the first week. I havent gotten a break out either. its def worth a try. I take about 2000 mg twice a day for now, but prob next week im going to lower the dosage. Its a miracle, everything i have ever tried has rarely worked. I feel great and my self esteem jumped back up. |
