Among skin care enthusiasts and those in the know, Vitamin C has long been a staple in our morning and evening routines. Now, new data shows that the secret is out. Pinterest unveiled their top beauty trends for 2018 using data gathered from over 2 billion pins and 48 million beauty pinners—and it turns out, Vitamin C has beat out all others as the ingredient that everyone is searching for right now. In fact, year over year, search volume for vitamin C has increased over 3000 percent, the biggest increase in interest among all the top beauty trends this year.
Vitamin C has a number of beauty benefits—it’s a powerful antioxidant that fights against free radicals caused by environmental factors like pollution and sun exposure, stimulates collagen and brightens skin (perhaps what it’s best known for). Some of the most powerful anti-aging products on the market with cult followings (such as SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic) harness Vitamin C to deliver major results for their users. Curious, but not sure where to start with this ingredient? Below we’ve rounded up five Vitamin C products to fit everyone’s needs, whether you’re just starting out with the ingredient or are already a hardcore user.
This wet-or-dry cleansing oil works for all skin types, plays nice with other skin care products and easily washes away impurities while leaving skin more even, brighter and smoother. It’s the perfect way to introduce the ingredient to your routine without having to add too many steps or switch out products.
