VITAMIN C

WHAT IS VITAMIN C?

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is an essential, water-soluble vitamin that plays a key role in numerous bodily functions, including the health of our skin. As an essential vitamin, the human body cannot produce vitamin C on its own, which is why regular intake through food or supplements is necessary.

Vitamin C is crucial for the synthesis of collagen, an important protein that gives the skin structure and firmness. A deficiency in vitamin C can have negative effects on the skin, resulting in a dull, sagging appearance. Fortunately, the topical application of vitamin C in skincare products such as creams and serums provides a direct way to supply the skin with this vital nutrient.

The effect of vitamin C on the skin is diverse and includes not only supporting collagen production but also protecting against oxidative stress and improving skin appearance.

EFFECTS OF VITAMIN C IN SKINCARE

Vitamin C, known for its versatile skincare properties, is a valuable component in the skincare routine for different skin types. It offers a wide range of benefits, from regulating sebum production in oily skin to promoting collagen synthesis in mature skin. Vitamin C is a true all-rounder in skincare, adapting to the specific needs of each skin type.

ANTIOXIDANT POWER OF VITAMIN C

Vitamin C, as a potent antioxidant, effectively protects the skin against free radicals generated by environmental factors such as UV radiation, air pollution, and smoking. These free radicals are responsible for oxidative damage that can lead to premature skin aging. By neutralizing these harmful molecules, vitamin C helps keep the skin healthy and youthful.

PROMOTION OF COLLAGEN PRODUCTION

One of the outstanding features of vitamin C is its role in collagen synthesis. Collagen is an essential protein that provides structure and firmness to the skin. With age, natural collagen production decreases, leading to wrinkles and sagging skin. Vitamin C stimulates collagen production, improves skin elasticity, and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

ANTI-INFLAMMATORY PROPERTIES FOR ACNE AND IMPURITIES

Vitamin C is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, which are particularly beneficial for skin issues such as acne and impurities. It calms the skin, reduces redness, and accelerates the healing of acne spots, resulting in a clearer and healthier skin.

BRIGHTENING EFFECT ON PIGMENT SPOTS

Vitamin C can regulate melanin production in the skin, contributing to the reduction of pigment and sunspots. It prevents the formation of new pigmentation and promotes a more even skin tone.

PROTECTION AGAINST SUN DAMAGE

Although vitamin C does not provide UV protection, it can shield the skin from the harmful effects of sun exposure. It repairs damage caused by UV rays and prevents sunburn and photo-induced skin aging.

ACCELERATION OF WOUND HEALING

Vitamin C plays a significant role in wound healing. It accelerates the healing process of minor cuts, scrapes, and other skin injuries. This is particularly useful in reducing the risk of scar formation.

Overall, vitamin C is an essential component in skincare that not only protects and repairs the skin, but also promotes its natural beauty and health.

VITAMIN C AND DIFFERENT SKIN TYPES

Vitamin C is a versatile active ingredient that is suitable for almost all skin types. Here we look at how Vitamin C affects different skin types:

VITAMIN C FOR OILY SKIN

Vitamin C is ideal for oily skin as it regulates sebum production and has anti-inflammatory effects. It helps reduce the appearance of enlarged pores and promotes clearer skin. Its antioxidant effect protects the skin from environmental damage, which often leads to increased sebum production.

VITAMIN C FOR DRY SKIN

For dry skin, Vitamin C is a true moisturizer. It strengthens the skin barrier and improves the skin's ability to retain moisture. This leads to a reduction in dry lines and a plumper, fresher appearance of the skin.

VITAMIN C FOR MATURE SKIN

With mature skin, Vitamin C shows its anti-aging power. It promotes collagen production and combats free radicals responsible for skin aging. This helps reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots, giving the skin a more youthful appearance.

VITAMIN C FOR SENSITIVE SKIN

Sensitive skin benefits from the soothing properties of Vitamin C. It helps to reduce redness and inflammation and strengthens the skin's natural protective barrier. This makes the skin more resilient to external stress factors and irritations.

VITAMIN C FOR COMBINATION SKIN

For combination skin, Vitamin C provides a balancing effect. It moisturizes dry areas and helps regulate sebum production in oily zones. This leads to a balanced skin appearance and improved skin texture.

PRODUCTS WITH VITAMIN C FROM DOC.BERGER | EFFECT

VIT C + BIOBOTOX SERUM

The "Vit C + Biobotox Serum" from DOC.BERGER | EFFECT is a highly concentrated formula that combines the power of vitamin C with the innovative effect of Biobotox. This serum is ideal for those looking for an intensive anti-aging treatment. The vitamin C in this serum acts as a potent antioxidant that protects the skin from free radicals while boosting collagen production. This leads to a visible reduction in fine lines and wrinkles as well as an improvement in skin elasticity. Biobotox, known for its skin-tightening properties, works synergistically with vitamin C to firm the skin and promote a more youthful appearance. In addition, the serum helps even out skin tone and reduce pigmentation spots, resulting in a more radiant and even complexion.

LIFTING EYE WONDER WITH VITAMIN C

The "Lifting Eye Wonder" is a product specially designed for the delicate eye area. It contains vitamin C, which brightens the delicate skin around the eyes while protecting it from environmental damage. The antioxidant properties of vitamin C help combat signs of skin aging such as fine lines and dark circles. The formulation also has anti-inflammatory effects, reducing swelling and redness, resulting in a fresher and more awake appearance. The serum's lightweight texture absorbs quickly, leaving a pleasant feeling on the skin without weighing it down.

TIME MACHINE WITH VITAMIN C

The "Time Machine" night cream is another high-tech product from DOC.BERGER | EFFECT that contains vitamin C. This rich cream harnesses the regenerative properties of vitamin C during the night to intensely nourish and repair the skin. Vitamin C supports the natural regeneration of skin cells and promotes a healthy collagen structure, resulting in firmer and smoother skin. The cream is particularly effective in reducing signs of aging and improving skin texture. Additionally, it helps hydrate and revitalize the skin, leading to a radiant complexion in the morning.

APPLICATION OF VITAMIN C SERUMS

The Vitamin C + Biobotox Serum from DOC.BERGER | EFFECT is a valuable part of your skincare routine to help your skin achieve a radiant and youthful appearance. For optimal application, we recommend applying the serum preferably in the evening. During the night, your skin has the opportunity to absorb and process the rich ingredients of the serum intensively, so you wake up in the morning with a fresh and rejuvenated complexion.

Start by cleansing your skin to remove makeup, dirt, and excess oil. Then you can use a facial tonic to further prepare the skin. Next, apply 2-3 drops of the Vitamin C + Biobotox Serum to your face, neck, and décolleté. Gently massage it in until fully absorbed.

Since vitamin C can make the skin more sensitive to light, it is important to use a sunscreen the next day. This protects your skin from UV rays and enhances the serum's effectiveness. For optimal storage of the Vitamin C + Biobotox Serum, we recommend keeping it cool, dark, and well sealed to preserve its effectiveness.

With this simple yet effective application, you support the health and radiance of your skin optimally.

SUN PROTECTION: A MUST WHEN USING VITAMIN C

When you use Vitamin C in your skincare routine, it is crucial to also incorporate an effective sun protection. Vitamin C, especially in higher concentrations, can make the skin more sensitive to UV radiation. This is because Vitamin C acts as an exfoliant, removing the top layer of the skin, exposing fresh, young skin cells. These new cells are particularly vulnerable to sun damage.

Therefore, it is important to use a sunscreen like the Anti-Pollution Day Cream from DOC.BERGER | EFFECT with SPF > 30. This day cream not only provides protection against harmful UV rays but also against other environmental influences. It is ideal to be applied after using Vitamin C-based products like the Vit C + Biobotox Serum to comprehensively protect the skin.

Additionally, Vitamin C can enhance the effectiveness of sunscreens by neutralizing free radicals generated by UV radiation. This makes Vitamin C a valuable partner for sun protection products, as it enhances their protective effects and provides an additional defense mechanism.

So remember to complement your skincare routine with a suitable sunscreen like the Anti-Pollution Day Cream from DOC.BERGER | EFFECT to fully benefit from Vitamin C and protect your skin optimally from sun damage.

CAN I COMBINE VITAMIN C SERUMS AND VITAMIN C CREAMS WITH OTHER PRODUCTS?

Using the Vitamin C + Biobotox Serum from DOC.BERGER | EFFECT is an important step in your skincare routine to provide optimal care for your skin. To maximize the effect of the serum, we recommend applying a day or night cream from our range afterwards. Our creams contain an effective transport molecule that delivers the valuable ingredients of the serum deep into the layers of the skin and locks them in there.

Serums are naturally water-loving and cannot penetrate the skin as deeply with active ingredients. Our creams, on the other hand, enhance the effect of the serum by effectively transporting the active ingredients into the skin, providing deep care and regeneration.

Combining our Vit C + Biobotox Serum with other products from our range, such as the Hyaluron Lifting Serum or the Booster Serum, is also recommended. This combination allows you to benefit from different active ingredients and tailor your skincare routine to your needs. This way, you can experience the full power of Vitamin C and other valuable ingredients and provide your skin with comprehensive care.
