Vitamin C has long been considered one of skincare’s most recognised active ingredients, valued for its role in supporting brighter-looking skin, antioxidant protection and a more even-looking complexion.
In a feature for ELLE, Dr Joseph Hkeik, Founder of All Saint Clinic, shared his expert perspective on vitamin C serums and how they may support concerns such as pigmentation, sun damage and visible signs of ageing.
What Does Vitamin C Do for the Skin?
Vitamin C is commonly used in skincare for its antioxidant properties and its ability to support a brighter, more refined-looking complexion. It is often recommended for individuals concerned with pigmentation, uneven skin tone, dullness and the visible effects of sun exposure.
As with all active skincare ingredients, formulation matters. Vitamin C can vary in strength, stability and delivery method, which is why professional guidance can help determine the most suitable product for your skin.
Who May Benefit from Vitamin C?
Vitamin C may be considered for those experiencing:
- Pigmentation
- Uneven skin tone
- Sun damage
- Dullness
- Early visible signs of ageing
- Loss of radiance
- Environmental skin stress
At All Saint Clinic, skincare recommendations are always tailored to the individual following consultation, taking into account skin type, sensitivity, lifestyle and long-term skin goals.
How to Introduce Vitamin C
Vitamin C products can come in different forms, including serums, powders and more stabilised formulations. Some people may benefit from introducing vitamin C gradually to help minimise sensitivity or irritation.
A personalised skincare consultation can help determine how often to apply vitamin C, what formulation may be suitable, and how it should work alongside sunscreen, hydration and other active ingredients.

The insights shared with ELLE reflect All Saint Clinic’s broader philosophy: effective skincare should be considered, personalised and guided by professional expertise.
