The Award-Winning Skincare Brand Celebrates its Vitamin C Serum in Honor of the Holiday

NEW YORK, April 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- For the second year in a row, dermatologist-recommended skincare brand La Roche-Posay is celebrating National Vitamin C Day on April 4th. La Roche-Posay is looking to raise awareness of the key skin benefits of the ingredient and educate on proper usage of vitamin C products.

In 2021, the question "What does Vitamin C do for your skin?" was one of the most Googled beauty questions¹. The ingredient has quickly become a holy grail ingredient that is suitable for all skin types and offers multiple benefits for healthy skin. Vitamin C has been used as the go-to ingredient for neutralizing free radical damage that can lead to premature signs of aging. Humans lack the ability to produce Vitamin C and must obtain it from dietary or topical sources. Dermatologically known benefits of Vitamin C in skin health include:

Helping enhance skin's radiance
Helping protect against UV induced free radical damage
Promoting collagen production

"I recommend that all of my patients incorporate Vitamin C into their daily skincare routine regardless of their skin type or tone. It helps boost skin's radiance, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and even skin tone with a visible brightening effect" says Board Certified Dermatologist, Dr. Anna Karp.

La Roche-Posay 10% Pure Vitamin C Serum stands out from its competition with its formula that balances an optimal level of Vitamin C (10%) with the exfoliating properties of salicylic acid and the soothing effect of neurosensine. Vitamin C is an antioxidant that can help restore radiance, prevent premature aging, even out skin tone, and correct skin texture. The 10% Vitamin C Serum can be incorporated into a full skin care regimen and should be used after cleansing in the morning or night and should be followed with moisturizer. It should also always be used in addition to SPF. Users can also layer the Vitamin C Serum with other La Roche-Posay serums such as Hyalu B5 serum and use Retinol or Glycolic serums at night for a full anti-aging regimen.

La-Roche-Posay has a strict formulation charter that goes beyond international cosmetic regulations. La Roche-Posay 10% Pure Vitamin C Serum has undergone rigorous consumer and clinical testing across and all skin tones. This anti-aging Vitamin C face and neck serum leaves skin more radiant, softer, and hydrated. As a result, wrinkles look visibly reduced and skin texture and tone are more even and refined.
