Vitamin C

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 read that Vitamin C helps heal your skin so I thought I'd take the supplements. I may have took too much or maybe I just have a sensitivity to it but it hurt my stomach and it never went away until I stopped using it.

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!!

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.

I read that putting vitamin c on your face works better than taking supplements. I found an inexpensive vitamin C serum: [link removed] It's supposed to be used in the morning but I use it at night, too. My skin's a lot smoother. I've been using it about 6 months.

Ester C, along with my cleaning regimen has brought me to 95% clear skin... and in a short amount of time... about a month... you'll notice your immune system kick in right away.

i went to a dermatologist about 2 months ago and got put on 2 medications and was told to moisturize 10x a day. my acne has only gotten worse. i can see how it works tho and it would help me eventually, but i have a dance next week and i needed imeadiate results. VIT-C is the sh*t. ill probly continue the medications until the 8 months are up but untill then i plan on taking about 2500 mg a day until it is clear go bengals!

I take it orally not topically. I have more red marks (ALOT) than i have pimples. Its fading the marks. ! I suggest taking it with something else like vitamin E or A . (:

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 don't know about topical vitamin c but I've been taking redoxon 1000mg for 10 days along with zinc and it has made a noticeable difference. Make sure you eat before taking zinc because it might cause nausea etc.. (been there). However I also mix water and sea salt and let it sit on my face overnight every two days. It also makes my skin very dry so I moisturize with 100% pure shea butter every morning. I'm far from being completely cleared up but so far, so good.
