In the world of skincare, few ingredients have earned as much scientific backing and dermatologist praise as Vitamin C. This powerful antioxidant is a cornerstone of effective skincare, and Obagi Professional-C serums represent the gold standard in Vitamin C formulations.
Understanding Antioxidants and Free Radicals
Every day, your skin faces an onslaught of environmental aggressors—UV radiation, pollution, smoke, and even stress. These factors generate free radicals, unstable molecules that damage healthy skin cells through a process called oxidative stress. Think of free radicals as rust forming on metal; they cause cellular deterioration that accelerates aging, creates uneven skin tone, and compromises your skin's structural integrity.
This is where antioxidants become your skin's first line of defense. Vitamin C neutralizes free radicals before they can cause damage, acting as a protective shield for your skin cells.
How Vitamin C Transforms Your Skin
Vitamin C delivers multiple skin benefits:
Brightening and Evening Tone: Vitamin C inhibits melanin production, helping fade dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and sun damage. Regular use reveals a more luminous, even complexion.
Collagen Production: As we age, collagen synthesis naturally declines. Vitamin C is essential for collagen formation, helping maintain skin firmness, reduce fine lines, and improve overall texture.
Protection: While not a replacement for sunscreen, Vitamin C provides additional antioxidant protection against UV damage and environmental stressors.
Why Choose Obagi Professional-C Serums
Not all Vitamin C products are created equal. The Obagi collection features pharmaceutical-grade formulations developed by renowned dermatologist Dr. Zein Obagi. Obagi Vitamin C serums use L-ascorbic acid, the most potent and researched form of Vitamin C, in optimized concentrations (10%, 15%, and 20%) to deliver results.
These serums are specifically formulated with a low pH to ensure maximum absorption and stability, addressing one of Vitamin C's biggest challenges—oxidation. The lightweight, non-greasy formulas layer beautifully under moisturizer and sunscreen.
Complete Your Routine
For optimal protection, pair your Obagi Vitamin C serum with Obagi SPF products. This combination provides comprehensive defense: antioxidants neutralize free radicals while sunscreen prevents UV damage.
