Rodan + Fields believes real skin results start with formulas rooted in clinical research, not empty promises. Vitamin C is a mainstay of dermatologist-designed regimens, demonstrated to enhance radiance, minimize visible lines, and enhance a resilient skin barrier.
What Makes Vitamin C a Must-Have?
Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is a powerful antioxidant naturally found in healthy skin. As skin ages, natural levels drop, leaving it more vulnerable to external stressors and visible dullness.
How Vitamin C Supports Skin Health
- Optimizes Collagen
Topical Vitamin C is key for visible plumpness and smoothness. It delivers valuable support for collagen, helping reduce the look of fine lines and restore firmness. - Visibly Fades Discoloration
Vitamin C targets uneven tone by reducing the appearance of excess pigmentation. Over time, dark spots become less noticeable, and skin looks more even. - Shields Against Environmental Damage
Ongoing exposure to UV rays and pollution creates free radicals that can accelerate the visible signs of aging. Vitamin C helps neutralize these aggressors, maintaining a firmer, more resilient-looking complexion. - Supports Skin Renewal
Cutting-edge research shows Vitamin C promotes healthy skin cell renewal, while providing antioxidant protection to defend against daily stressors.
The Role of Vitamin C in Preventing the Signs of Aging
With age, skin-cell renewal naturally slows, collagen levels dip, and elasticity fades. This leads to a thinner, more fragile look, often marked by fine lines, dullness, and decreased barrier function. Consistent use of Vitamin C makes a difference you can see:
- Restores visible plumpness and elasticity
- Softens the look of lines and wrinkles
- Helps keep skin feeling strong and hydrated
How to Use Vitamin C Effectively
Morning is the optimal time to apply Vitamin C, it works alongside daily SPF and other regimen steps to deliver visible, lasting results with continued use. Here’s a simple, science-backed routine:
- Cleanse with a gentle, skin-friendly formula.
- Apply a Vitamin C serum, dermatologist-developed for optimal absorption, on clean, dry skin before moisturizer.
- Follow with a moisturizer that visibly firms and tightens the skin.
- Always finish with a broad-spectrum SPF for complete protection.
For sensitive skin, start with a lower concentration and gradually build up, listening to your skin’s response at every step. Consistency, not intensity, is what delivers visible improvements over time.
