Cons:
I noticed that even though the acne around my jaw and mouth was clearing up I started breaking out on my forehead....I would much rather have it on my forehead then around my mouth....looks better when you kiss people....LOL
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

Pros:
Glowing skin, helps get rid of acne scars a little faster than normal
Cons:
Caused me to break out on my chin
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.

Pros:
good for you, cheap
Cons:
just didn't work well for me.
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.

Pros:
brightens and produces collegen,strengthens skin.
Cons:
nothing really.
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:
Pantothenic acid aka vita B5 got rid of some acne, but I still had horrible acne around my jaw line and mouth. I started taking vita C because I got really sick and with in like three days the acne around my mouth and jaw was almost gone.
