Study Reveals Vitamin C’s Role in Strengthening Aging Skin

Study finds vitamin C boosts skin thickness by reactivating growth genes

The skin acts as the body's first line of defense against external threats. However, as we age, the epidermis—the outermost layer of skin—gradually becomes thinner and loses its protective strength. About 90% of the cells in this layer are keratinocytes, which originate from deeper layers of the epidermis and migrate upward, ultimately forming the skin's protective barrier.

Vitamin C May Help Prevent Skin Thinning, Study Finds

While vitamin C’s skin benefits are well known, new research reveals it also reactivates genes tied to epidermal renewal and thickness, potentially preventing age-related skin thinning.  As we age, our skin naturally becomes thinner and more fragile due to a decline in cell production, but now researchers have found that vitamin C can help counteract this aging process.  Using a 3D human skin model, they showed that vitamin C boosts epidermal th…
