But here’s the ticket: Vitamin C is a vital part of the collagen production process. According to Julia T. Hunter, M.D., founder of\u00a0Wholistic Dermatology\u00a0in Beverly Hills, “If you don’t have vitamin C, your collagen can’t cross-link to lift and tighten skin.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

That’s because vitamin C can actually\u00a0promote fibroblast production1<\/svg><\/span> and\u00a0regulate collagen synthesis2<\/svg><\/span> (aka, the pathway in which collagen is made).\u00a0“Vitamin C is a key cofactor in the synthesis of collagen and elastin, [which helps] give your skin that plump and youthful appearance,”\u00a0Keira Barr, M.D.,\u00a0dual board-certified dermatologist, told us about\u00a0vitamin C in collagen supplements.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the vitamin stabilizes the collagen you already have: Due to its\u00a0antioxidant properties\u00a0(which we’ll dive into in a mere moment), it helps neutralize free radical damage\u2014which is a major culprit behind collagen degradation and DNA damage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
