Research published in Free Radical Biology and Medicine has found Vitamin C can help promote wound healing according to scientists who investigated the effect of Vitamin C in human fibroblasts.
The research found the addition of Vitamin C helps stimulate fibroblasts out of their dormant state. This helps the skin to heal and affects the cell’s ability to move to the damaged area.
Study co author Marcus Cooke from the University of Leicester in the UK, said the team would like to further study the potential of Vitamin C in skin care products. Regarding the application of Vitamin C he stated either topical or oral administration could be effective.
In addition, Vitamin C also helped stimulate the ability of DNA to repair damage and also had strong antioxidant properties.
