Cons:
-takes a long time to see results on scarring, and only helps with pigmentation-related scars
-stings when applied topically
So I have been taking 1000mg of vitamin C daily, and also using it topically (philosophy's turbo booster c powder) mixed into my moisturizer. The overall tone and texture of my skin has been improving, and this is very important to me as a woman in her 30s that has had acne for just over a decade.
I had a lot of pigmentation related issues, because even after some of the blemishes had healed, every single one of them left a dark spot on my face. I have very light-colored skin, so trying to cover these up was my biggest challenge every morning.
Over the past 6 months, since using vitamin C two ways, i have seen a clear improvement on my skin. It doesnt "get rid of" acne per se, but my skin is healing much faster and my spots are lightening up.
I wouldnt recommend this as a cure-all for moderately-severe to severe acne sufferers, but to those who need a little help with pigmentation.

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
