Using vitamin C skincare can have a dramatic anti-aging impact on your skin, but it does depend on which type of product you buy. Different products have different concentrations of the vitamin and some types of vitamin C do not store well. These products are available in a wide range of prices which further adds to the confusion.

To be able to know what type of vitamin C is good for you and your skin, you need to know the difference between between the different types and what they are supposed to be used for. I have listed the three main types of vitamin C skincare all with a short description of what they are and how to best use them for your skin type.

Magnesium ascorbyl phosphate, also known as MAP is a derivative of vitamin C that will help increase the collagen in your skin. This type of vitamin C is a very stable type and does not degrade as fast. it is so gentle, it can be safely used on sensitive skin. To stop MAP from degenerating it is best to store it in a dry place away from sunlight.

L-ascorbic acid is a natural type of vitamin C. To be really effective, this form of vitamin C must be very well stored. L-ascorbic acid certainly has its downsides: it degrades very quickly when exposed to air, heat or sunlight and can be very irritating to sensitive skin types. Dermatologists recommend that if you do not know the proper way of using L-ascorbic acid, do not use it. L-ascorbic acid is not suitable for those with rosacea or sensitive skin.

Ascorbyl Palmitate is a lot like the MAP type of vitamin C, but isn’t quite as quick or effective as the former. As for L-ascorbic acid; it must be carefully looked after and stored away from sunlight and air, as this type of vitamin tends to degenerate very fast. To be able to achieve the effects of collagen boosting with this type of vitamin, you must use it a lot more frequently and in much larger doses than you would have to use with MAP.

Make sure you know what exact ingredients any vitamin C skincare contains before buying. Many manufacturers add different types of vitamin C which renders the product ineffective and can also be irritating for your skin. By checking what ingredients the products have you’ll be better equipped to choose the best one for you.
