When asked what’s the most essential skincare ingredient in terms of anti-aging, the answer is undoubtedly Vitamin C, second only to Retinol. Due to its skin-brightening and radiant properties, Vitamin C is unsurprisingly a star ingredient in countless serums and moisturizers, but it’s not commonly found in the bodycare realm.
In fact, I never even considered whether I was robbing my hands and feet of the goddess-like glow that Vitamin C provides until Necessaria launched the aptly named elixir “Body Vitamin C.”
Necessaire The Body Vitamin C
Necessities
The Body Vitamin C by Nécessaire is a lightweight, fragrance-free anti-aging serum for the skin under the chin. Ideal for all skin types, including ultra-sensitive skin, this formula delivers the brightening, toning and radiance benefits of Vitamin C – benefits that most skin types lack.
Personally, I don’t know how I ever ran around in shorts before using this product, but after 3 weeks of use, my limbs are incredibly shiny, smooth, and (unless my eyes are deceiving me) evenly colored, so much so that I no longer need to wear body makeup.
The gel-like formula absorbs into the skin within seconds without leaving a sticky residue, which frankly is a far cry from the sticky feeling I’ve experienced with other Vitamin C formulas. Importantly, Nécessaire’s serum is housed in an opaque container with a sealed pump to maximize stability and therefore effectiveness.
The tetrahexyldecyl ascorbic acid (THD) found in Necessaire’s serum is a “highly stable form” of a notoriously tricky ingredient, Dr. Adrienne O’Connell, medical director of Laguna Beach Aesthetics, previously said. InStyle. Additionally, THD delivers a “brighter, more hydrated glow” than other formats.
The enzymes in the formula gently resurface the skin, exfoliating dead, dull cells for smoother skin after just one use.
Science aside, I can personally attest that Necessaria’s Vitamin C does indeed provide a visible glow. I’ve been using the product for a few weeks now and have already noticed that my skin is significantly smoother and more even-toned. Even the marks from the nasty mosquito bites and scratches I got as a child are less noticeable. The serum also instantly hydrates and leaves skin with a silky finish that lasts for hours.
Finally, this formula contains niacinamide, a buzzworthy B vitamin praised by countless dermatologists for its numerous benefits, the main one being that it helps reverse signs of skin damage, such as hyperpigmentation.
