WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF VITAMINS IN FACIAL SKIN CARE?

For decades, vitamins have firmly held their position as the favorite active ingredients in cosmetic products. Through a long history of use, their effectiveness and safety have been confirmed, and their modifications in modern formulations make them more stable and more easily accessible to skin cells. Face creams enriched with vitamins A, C and E are a valuable ally for the care of your skin, providing it with numerous advantages and benefits, making the skin healthy and radiant. Using creams with these vitamins has become an indispensable part of the daily skin care routine. It is important to follow the instructions and advice of your skin care professional when using these products. For those with sensitive skin, it is recommended to test the product on a small area of skin before using it on the entire face.

 

HOW DO VITAMINS A, C AND E WORK?

Vitamin A (retinol and its derivatives): This vitamin is known for its ability to stimulate skin cell renewal. This means that it helps to reduce wrinkles, even out the complexion and smooth out fine skin irregularities. Also, vitamin A can help reduce the appearance of acne and improve skin texture. It is important to note that products containing vitamin A, such as retinol creams, should be used carefully and according to the instructions of a skin care professional, as they can cause temporary side effects such as flaking and irritation.

In any case, vitamin A is a strong ally in maintaining the health and beauty of the skin and can be part of your daily skin care routine, especially if you have problems with skin aging, acne, or hyperpigmentation.

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid and its derivatives): Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps protect the skin from harmful free radicals from the environment, such as sunlight and pollution. In addition, vitamin C plays a key role in the synthesis of collagen, a protein that keeps the skin firm and elastic. Vitamin C creams can help brighten the complexion, reduce hyperpigmentation, and improve skin tone. Vitamin C products are available in various forms, such as serums, creams, and lotions. It is important to note that vitamin C can be sensitive to light and air, so it is important to store the product in a cool, dark place and use it according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Vitamin E (tocopherol and its derivatives): Vitamin E is also a powerful antioxidant that helps protect the skin from oxidative damage. This vitamin also has moisturizing properties and can help keep the skin soft and smooth. It helps preserve the skin's natural barrier and prevents moisture loss. Vitamin E can be used to soothe skin problems such as redness or irritation. It is often found in a variety of cosmetic skin care products, including creams, lotions, and oils. Using products with vitamin E can contribute to the overall health and appearance of the skin, making it look radiant and healthy.

IN WHICH FACE CARE PRODUCTS CAN MOST OFTEN FIND VITAMINS A, C OR E?

Facial care products with vitamins A, C and E are widely available on the market and are often used as part of daily skin care. Here are some common products that contain these vitamins:

1. Face creams: Face creams with some of these vitamins are usually used as moisturizers or night creams. They provide hydration and protection against free radicals, improving skin texture and reducing signs of aging.
2. Serums: Serums with vitamins A, C and E are concentrated formulas that are applied before the face cream. They penetrate the skin faster and often have a high content of these vitamins for a stronger effect. Vitamin C serums, for example, can help reduce hyperpigmentation and brighten the complexion, making skin brighter and more radiant.
3. Face oils: Oils with these vitamins are a rich formulation that provides hydration and antioxidant protection. They can also help soothe dry and sensitive skin.
4. Acne Treatments: Acne treatment products often contain vitamin A (retinoids) as an active ingredient. They help reduce clogged pores and control sebum production.

VITAMIN A

Face cream with Vitamin A (Retinyl Palmitate) is formulated to take full advantage of the positive anti-aging effects of this vitamin. Vitamin A penetrates deep into the skin at the cellular level and affects the processes that lead to the reduction of the formation of wrinkles through the renewal of the skin's epidermis. Due to sensitivity to the action of the sun's rays, it is used as a night cream.

Face serum with Vitamin A for day care as a complement to night cream. The light formulation of the serum combines the afore mentioned effects of vitamin A with Bakuchiol, an extremely popular ingredient in recent years, represents a natural alternative to Vitamin A. It is an oil obtained from the plant Psoralea Corylifolia, which has been traditionally used in Indian and Chinese medicine for centuries. Its herbal origin and antibacterial properties make it gentler than retinol and suitable for people with skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis.

 

VITAMIN C

Face cream with Vitamin C is based on a well-known antioxidant - a stable form of Vitamin C that participates in the elimination of free radicals, and is a cofactor in the synthesis of collagen, which affects the increase of skin elasticity.
