Vitamin C Reviews

Good morning! I just want to briefly share my story regarding Vitamin C. Recently I treated myself to a medical spa, where I underwent a skin consultation, microdermabrasion, gold mask and oxygen facial. The specialist informed my that I had oily skin, for years I thought I had combination and the products I was using were just adding to my problems. I typically use natural products like African black soap, Apple cider vinegar to tone my skin , bentonite clay as a mask and Avacado oil to moisturize. She told me to get rid of the ACV & avocado oil but replace it with witch hazel and Argan oil. Now I must include I don't have acne prone skin (honestly assumed that as well) but I would just have occasional hormonal pimples and I use to pick them which led to acne scars and such. I was also recommended to take a vitamin C & Zinc suppliments with the other supplements that I usually take. For a while I was contemplating on incorporating more Vitamin C as I noticed when I consumed a lot of Vitamin C fruits and veggies it shows on my skin! So I've been taking 2 capsules of the Vitamin including zinc (one daily) and I stated this on the 15th of February and I've already noticed some amazing changes to my skin! Including the new regimen and treatment from the spa the suppliments have been doing wonders. The texture is improving, my little rashes from sun damage are disappearing and I have a lovely glow going on. Let me include that I have a pretty good diet, I've been a vegetarian since birth and in 2015 I transitioned to being a vegan which contributes to my skin. I also drink about 3 liters of water a day. So I definitely can say what you take inside helps with the outside. I will be posting an update after a month including what products I use for my skin. Thank you and hope this helps any of you in your skincare journey

My diet isn't the greatest (don't eat enough fruit and veg) and I don't think I get enough vitamin C. To combat the common cold, bruising easily and improving my immune system I started to eat kiwi fruit (1 or 2 a day) which is high in vitamin C and I noticed a remarkable improvement in my skin and it clicked! Maybe I just need more vitamin C in my diet. I didn't always feel like eating kiwis every day so got Vitamin C chewables at 1000mg each. Took one-a-day for a week but I think the dosage was far too high! I had to keep urinating and pretty certain I got a UTI. Thankfully had some antibiotics on hand to get rid of it. Plus I used to get terrible headaches and I'm sure this was because of the vitamin C. I have a very small frame and am under 5ft so I figured I would limit the amount of vitamin C and got a lower dosage for kids. So now I take 2x 80mg chewables and have been doing so for nearly a year, I could probably take more but don't think it's necessary. My acne has improved remarkably. Overall thoughts: It doesn't hurt to take vitamin C. I'm pretty certain it has contributed to my skin looking a lot better, I don't get as many spots on my forehead. I've also changed my face cleansing routine so maybe that is also a positive factor. Less sugar/dairy in my diet too!

I've recently made a post about how I got my severe cystic acne (almost) under complete control. I mentioned that sheet masks have helped tremendously for my breakouts and the overall health of my skin. There's two brands of sheet masks I've used that are specifically vitamin c masks and they're definitely some of my favorites. There's a brand called Andalou and their Instant Brighten & Tighten vitamin c mask is my ultimate favorite. Soo Ae also has a good vitamin c mask, but it's a little thicker than some people with acne might feel okay using (I've used it without a problem, but I don't usually tend to get regular acne, mainly cystic, but sometimes I'll get a flare up of reg acne that I know is hormonal). Not only does vitamin c help prevent/reduce breakouts, but vitamin c is anti aging and is helping my skin heal after years of neglecting it. I hope to find a good vitamin c daily moisturizer sometime soon.

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.

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.

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.

vitamin c tablets are also very good for skin if any ne have acne and scars better to take vitamin c chewable tablets or take this vitamin c powder since from 1year i've suffered with this acne and scars but when i startedto take these tablets ..you wont belive within 1 month my skin got cleared and now haha ..i feel im so good

I started taking this vitamin C powder as recommedned by a naturopathic physician. I have acne since 14 years old, this is the first time my face is totally cleared. amazing!

This worked great and fast. I was taking between 1000-2000mg daily. Soon I came to realize vitamin c raises your blood sugar and after about a week it gave me the worse BV and yeast infection I have ever had. Needless to say that was the end of that.

i take vitamin c 5 grams a day with 100mg zinc,2400iu vitamin a,1200mg fish oil(with 2000 vitamin d in d3 form) and 200mcg selenium a day although its probably best to take all the supplements i just listed here and maybe more but the only think that really helped me and not just make minor improvements was vitamin c zinc and vit a taken together it will reduce the inflammation caused by acne and dry up your skin so no(or extremely little) sebum will be produced drastically reducing acne another amazing part of the combination is that scars heal very fast

You can't take to much! Prevent a lot of things that can cause acne! Healthy Do not work against acne (at least for me) It does not help against acne, in most cases (maybe it will for some), and it did not help me either. But you can't take to much Vitamin C. The worst that can happen is diarrhea, and that is if you take a lot. Vitamin C is really healthy! I take 400-600 mg a day, and that has not helped with acne. I do recommend trying, though!

You feel good Makes you lift heavier Speeds up healing You attract too many girls :/ You last quicker in sex :( After 3 weeks of using this it helped speed up everything along with improving my skin and healing the acne scars. It usually kicks in around your blood stream after 2 - 3 weeks for it to immediately start working, to speed up the results with acne scarring take it at night therefore it works better as you sleep with 35mg Zinc tablets with 1000mg Vitamin C tablets. It cleared up my skin immediately!

At the 99cent store (; Brightens skin (not oily) (brightens in a good way) makes skin smoother Strength lightening red marks helps with inflammation produces collagen I only been using it for a week hasnt cleared up acne 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 . (:

Repairs dry or damaged skin Rejuvenates skin Helps irritation Helps eliminate redness or swelling Doesn't assist in acne treatment HOWEVER does NOT clog pores or causes breakouts If your skin feels irritated and is red or itchy, Vitamin C can help hydrate and heal your skin.

None. It doesn't do anything. Why does this have such a high rating? It doesn't do anything. Just look at the pros people said: "glowing skin", "feeling lively", "good for immune system". No one says it helps clear their skin, they just say irrelevant things. THIS DOES NOT CLEAR YOUR SKIN. Stop wasting your time reading about vitamin c and go search the message boards for things like zinc and taurine. For some reason all of the people who know anything only post on the message boards, and not in the product reviews.

1. Makes you very lively and jumpy (lol) 2. Makes the skin glow within 2 weeks of use. 3. Helps in almost all body metabolisms. 1. Can make your stomach upset, specially when i took with my calcium supplement first thing in the morning. 2. Can make your stomach diarreal. Do use this product and give it a try. This is because you not only need it for acne but also for overall health.

*Taken orally it can improve immune system (with vitamin B it gives energy). *Applied topically in concentrations of 5-10% it can stimulate collagen and significantly lessen post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (look it up!). *Faster results than you'd expect; it really made my skin GLOW the very first time I applied it! Skin-wise, it's WAY more effective (20x, according to scientific research) if you apply it topically. * You need the right form for a topical application (Ascorbic Acid is cheapest and most readily available form--esp in plain old tablet form). *It burns a lot (it's an irritant and acid after all) and can cause redness for up to 10 mins after application. Taking Vitamin C orally for your skin isn't likely to make a significant difference (though I drink an Emergen-C packet once a day b/c it seems to be a natural energy booster). If you want vitamin C to benefit your skin you are far better off applying it topically. Here's how I do it: 1. Get some vitamin c tablets in the form of Ascorbic Acid (maybe check your local pharmacy for a cheap bottle--i got mine at Kaiser for $3.99). 2. Crush/grind 1-2 tablets to a fine powdery dust (use only 1 for sensitive skin or small single-use batches, etc). 3.You can mix this dust with whatever you want; some use oil, some use aloe vera gel to create a serum--really, it just depends on what you prefer and how long you want the batch to last (I've never tried making a serum as I suspect it would leave a powdery residue and require making a fresh batch everyday). I mix my C dust with a 5% tea tree oil solution diluted with green tea (that would be: 1/2 tsp TTO and 2 1/2 tsp of freshly brewed green tea). That way, it becomes a 3-in-1 antibacterial/anti-inflammatory/vitamin c toner--and because I keep this mixture in a dark glassed (disinfected) vanilla extract bottle, it doesn't degrade so fast. If you do it this way, just make sure the cap screws tight and shake vigorously before every application. When it no longer burns upon application that generally means it's time to make a fresh batch.

Using topical vitamin C has really improved my complexion. I apply it every morning to my face and neck. The number and size of the zits has gone down noticeably, and the ones I get heal a lot faster. When I first started using it, it seemed to cause a little bit of flare-up. Fortunately, the friend who told me about vitamin C warned me this might happen and told me to stay with it. I am very happy that I did! Topical vitamin C can be pricey, but I have found ReCverin brand to be reasonable. It has been a real find for me. I don't know why vitamin C skin serum for acne is not better known.
