Radiant Skin with Vitamin C
In short: Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin and to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. Whether from food, a food supplement or skin care products containing vitamin C, it can be part of your skin routine.
Why Is Vitamin C Important for the Skin?
Vitamin C contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. Sunlight and environmental factors constantly expose the skin to oxidative stress.
Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin, bones, cartilage and blood vessels. Collagen is a natural protein that is also responsible for the firmness and elasticity of the skin; its production declines with age.

Where Can You Get Vitamin C?
From Food
The body cannot produce vitamin C, so it has to come from the diet every day. Good sources include oranges, grapefruit, kiwi, bell peppers and broccoli.
From a Food Supplement
If your diet does not cover your needs, a food supplement can help fill the gap. Marnys Vit-C 1000 Liposomal Vitamin C contains 1000 mg of vitamin C per vial, in liposomal form, in a single-dose liquid format.
Vitamin C in Cosmetics
Vitamin C is a common ingredient in creams, serums and ampoules. Because it oxidizes easily, cosmetics often contain it in a stabilized form. In the Marnys Pigment Control skin care ampoule, vitamin C is bound to a glucose molecule, which stabilizes its structure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I use vitamin C internally or on the skin?
The two complement each other: taken internally, vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation, while in skin care products, in a stabilized form, it helps care for the skin.
How much vitamin C do I need per day?
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) considers a daily intake of 95 mg of vitamin C adequate for adult women and 110 mg for men. Most of this can be covered by a varied diet.
Why do cosmetics contain vitamin C in a stabilized form?
Vitamin C oxidizes easily when exposed to light and air, so cosmetics often contain it in a stabilized form.
