Let's talk about one of skincare's most powerful allies - Vitamin C! Whether you're in your 20s or 70s, this remarkable ingredient deserves a special place in your daily skincare routine. We've dedicated this blog to our passion about this antioxidant powerhouse and understanding the various factors that create skin damage and how Vitamin C works to protect your skin.
Your skin fights an invisible battle against environmental stressors everyday:
UV radiation from the sun
Blue light from our devices
Environmental pollutants
Free radicals (those unstable molecules that can damage healthy skin cells).
These factors can lead to:
Fine lines and wrinkles
Loss of firmness
Dull complexion
Dark spots
Inflammation
Dehydration
The Vitamin C is your skin's personal bodyguard. It works by:
Neutralizing harmful free radicals before they can damage your skin
Preventing signs of aging
Protecting against future damage
Supporting multiple skin benefits simultaneously

The most effective form of Vitamin C is L-ascorbic acid. At Rise Medical Aesthetics, we proudly offer three premium medical-grade skincare lines - Vivier, ZO Skin Health, and Alumier MD - each featuring advanced Vitamin C formulations.
When selecting a Vitamin C product, our expert team considers:
