Melanin is the natural pigment produced from the melanocyte cells. It helps our skin fight against the harmful effects of UV radiation.

Melanin tends to fluctuate when we go in and out in sunlight.  Sometimes due to excessive exposure to sun, some melanocytes begin to multiply and create an uneven distribution of melanocytes in the skin. It results in dark colour or we can say hyperpigmentation. Vitamins help reduce melanin or hyperpigmentation? But which vitamin helps ensure the same?

It reduces by using Vitamin C as it has antioxidant properties, an incredibly important quality that helps combat dark spots. The anti-inflammatory and anti-ageing properties of Vitamin C make it beneficial for reducing fine lines and for achieving bright skin.

Vitamin C prevents the enzyme tyrosinase, which helps prevent melanin production. Yes, it can lighten pigmented skin but not normal colour. Vitamin C is a valued element for healthy, glowing skin. You can take it orally or use some topical products containing Vitamin C.

Before taking any oral dose or using topical products, consult a dermatologist for better suggestions.
