When we found out Joanna Vargas was launching a Vitamin C serum, we knew we needed to get in. On. That. We usually pop the vitamin in pill form as soon as we start sneezing, but we had no clue how great it is for the skin too. According to Joanna, Vitamin C is the prime building block for a great complexion and that it can aid any skin condition. Read on for more intel on this magical serum.

OK so we need the Vitamin C breakdown. What exactly does Vitamin C do to the skin upon application?
Joanna Vargas
Vitamin C brightens the skin, evens out pigment, and reinforces your elasticity at the molecular level. It guards the skin against cell mutation, caused by exposure to sun and pollution in your everyday life.

Wow, ok. Major benefits it sounds like!
Joanna Vargas
It will also extend the life of your skin cells, so you will just look younger the more you use it!

Whoah. That sounds like magic! What about the classic Vitamin C pill? How does topical application compare to oral ingestion?
Joanna Vargas
They're similar in concept. Both provide the body with an extra layer of protection against cell mutations while reinforcing cellular function.

Are there any risks to Vitaminc C in topical application?
Joanna Vargas
Vitamin C is very unstable so you have to go with a trustworthy skincare line. It’s hard to maintain potency in the bottle. Also some formulas can be very drying. I tried to be very aware of those when creating my Rescue Serum.
