“I look at vitamin C as that little black dress in your closet,” Samantha Mims, esthetician and founder of Dermasaa, tells Vogue. “It’s definitely one of those things you must have. It works to boost circulation, amplify the skin’s complexion, and stimulate collagen production.”
The ingredient is more than just a trend, per board-certified dermatologist Dr. Rebecca Small, MD: “It is one of the most scientifically validated ingredients in skincare,” she says. “With its ability to protect against environmental damage, repair visible signs of aging, and brighten the complexion, vitamin C has rightfully earned its place as a cornerstone of any routine.
