The Benefits of Using Obagi Professional-C Serum and Vitamin C

The Benefits of Using Obagi Professional-C Serum and Vitamin C

I'm sure you don't need me to tell you that there's a lot of skincare advice and information available online now, which can very quickly start to become overwhelming or confusing. Today I wanted to take the opportunity to demystify vitamin C for you and highlight the real and tangible benefits that you could experience from incorporating it into your everyday skincare routine.

How Can Vitamin C Benefit My Skin?

Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant, which means that it can help to fight against free radicals that your skin encounters on a daily basis from external stressors including pollution and UV radiation. Free radicals can damage the skin in a variety of different ways, including causing fine lines, wrinkles, an uneven skin tone, and lost elasticity and firmness.

Clinical studies into the benefits of using a topical vitamin C product have been conducted and found that daily vitamin C application over the course of at least 12 weeks can reduce the appearance of both fine and deeper wrinkles on the face and neck. Studies have also found that vitamin C can help to boost the overall appearance and texture of the skin, making it an excellent all-round treatment for many of the most common skin concerns.

What is the Obagi Professional-C Serum?

Forming a key part of Obagi's Professional-C range of products, the Professional-C serum is available in three different concentrations to suit different skin types.

The Professional-C serum with 10% L-ascorbic acid is formulated for sensitive and dry skin types. Despite containing the lowest concentration of vitamin C, this serum will work to brighten and even out your skin tone, strengthen your skin's defences against free radicals, and minimise lines and wrinkles without causing any irritation.

Ideally suited to normal and combination skin, Obagi's Professional-C serum with 15% L-ascorbic acid is slightly more concentrated and will help to achieve the same outcomes for those with less sensitive skin.

The Professional-C serum also comes in a variation with 20% L-ascorbic acid and sodium hyaluronate, which is formulated specifically to help normal and oily skin types achieve a hydrated, youthful-looking glow.

How Do I Use the Obagi Professional-C Serum?

Obagi's products are always easy to use, so you'll find incorporating this serum into your skincare routine incredibly easy. After cleansing your skin in the morning, apply between five and seven drops of the serum to your face. When the serum has been absorbed into your skin, apply your usual moisturiser and SPF before going outside.

Why Choose Obagi?

Many different skincare brands have vitamin C products in their collections, so why exactly should you choose Obagi?

Well, as Obagi specialises in medical-grade skincare products, the vitamin C used in the Professional-C range is stabilised to ensure optimal efficacy and absorption. So, whether you're looking to support the overall resilience of your skin, brighten your complexion or minimise the appearance of lines and wrinkles, incorporating this high quality serum into your skincare routine can help you to achieve healthier, more youthful looking skin.
