How important are vitamins for facial skin? They play an important role in collagen synthesis, maintaining skin elasticity and hydration, and protecting it from adverse environmental factors such as free radicals and solar radiation.

Solar radiation is one of the main factors of skin aging. It has been proven that solar UV radiation destroys collagen and also inhibits the activity of fibroblasts that produce collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid in the dermal layer of the skin. A special term was even coined for these processes – skin photoaging.

By about 40 years, the number of collagen fibers in the skin decreases by about 2 times, which directly affects the firmness and elasticity of the skin. Also, by this age, the amount of hyaluronic acid contained in the skin decreases by 40%, which leads to a decrease in skin hydration and thickness, and also reduces the degree of hydration of collagen fibers with water, which further reduces the firmness and elasticity of the skin.

Vitamins help reduce the negative impact of the external environment on the skin, and also activate metabolic processes in the skin. Numerous studies have shown that the most essential vitamins for beautiful skin and hair are vitamins A, C, E, K, as well as the B complex of vitamins.

The main effects of vitamins used in cosmetology –

• Vitamins A and C - can increase the production of collagen and elastin in the skin, thereby increasing skin elasticity.
• The combination of vitamins C and E perfectly protects the skin from the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation, preventing the process of photoaging of the skin.
• The combination of vitamins A and K effectively fights dark circles under the eyes.
• Vitamin C together with vitamin B5 - perfectly heal skin damage.

Below we will look at the 5 most important vitamins for facial skin, and also tell you what functions they perform and give examples of high-quality cosmetics based on them.

What is aevit: composition, forms

This medicine is based on fat-soluble vitamins: A (retinol) and E (tocopherol).

The drug is produced in several dosage forms:

• gelatin capsules for oral administration: yellow or reddish in color. Each contains 100 thousand IU of retinol palmitate and 100 mg of tocopherol.
• injection solution - oily liquid in ampoules: 100 mg of tocopherol and 35 mg of retinol per 1 ml;
• nourishing cream Aevit: in bottles of 50 ml.

In addition to active ingredients, Aevit contains a fat base and stabilizers.

Vitamin K for skin –

It is believed that the cause of dark circles under the eyes is fragile capillaries that burst and show through thin skin. Vitamin K applied to the skin, as studies and patient reviews have shown, reduces dark circles under the eyes, and also reduces the appearance of bruises and bruises. But the combination of vitamins K and A in face creams fights dark circles under the eyes even more effectively than vitamin K alone.

One study confirmed that after 4 months of constant use of a cream with vitamin K and retinol (vitamin A), the dark circles under the eyes of subjects significantly lightened. Researchers were unable to definitively answer which of the two vitamins contributed to this: retinol thickens the under-eye area, making it less transparent, and vitamin K has a brightening effect, making dark circles less noticeable. Moreover, retinol increases the ability of vitamin K to penetrate the skin and interact with cells.

Effect of the drug

Aevit has immunomodulating, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and regenerating properties. It affects metabolic processes, normalizes the condition of capillaries, improves tissue trophism, and regulates protein and lipid metabolism.

Vitamin medicine is used:

• to eliminate deficiency of vitamins A and E;
• in complex therapy of the reproductive system;
• for dermatological diseases: dermatitis, retinitis pigmentosa, acne;
• optic nerve atrophy, hemeralopia and other visual impairments;
• psoriasis;
• microcirculation disorders in tissues;
• to eliminate dryness, peeling, wrinkles and other skin defects, improve its microrelief;
• to accelerate hair growth and restoration.

B vitamins for beautiful skin and hair –

Research published in 2003 by the Academy of Dermatology showed that the use of B vitamins in creams and serums for facial skin significantly reduces the effects of aging and fading of facial skin (research - Chung JH, Hanft VN, et al. “Aging and photoaging. " J Am Acad Dermatol. 2003 Oct;49(4):690-7").
The most important B vitamins for the skin...

• Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) is a very important vitamin for maintaining the condition of skin, nails and hair. Its deficiency leads to dry skin, cracks in the corners of the mouth, early skin aging, as well as dry and brittle hair and nails.

• Vitamin B3 (niacin) – improves the ability of the upper layer of the epidermis to retain moisture.
  It helps dry skin look softer, smoother, and reduce fine lines on the face. Also used with other skin whitening products for pigmentation. Using B3 together with vitamin A (retinoids) gives even better results in the fight against wrinkles. But a lack of B3 leads to dry skin, a lack of nutrition to the hair follicles, and as a result leads to increased fragility and split ends of the hair.

• Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) – helps fight acne by reducing sebum production. Vitamin B5 also promotes faster regeneration of skin cells, but this effect is especially pronounced when vitamins B5 and C are combined.

• Biotin (vitamin B7) – is involved in the synthesis of collagen fibers, which form the basis of skin, nails, and hair. Its deficiency can lead to dry and itchy skin, dermatitis, hair loss, and seborrhea of ​​the scalp.

• Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) – helps regulate skin pigment production and prevents hyperpigmentation.

Below we have provided examples of quality and trustworthy creams and serums with B vitamins...

Can Aevit be applied to the face?

Externally use a cream or vitamin complex in solution:

• to improve skin condition;
• getting rid of pimples and fine wrinkles.

It is recommended to mix the contents of the ampoules with olive or almond oil before use. Apply a small amount of cream or oil solution to cleansed skin. When treating the face, follow the massage lines. To speed up absorption, after applying the product, the skin can be covered with a cloth or film for a few minutes. To obtain results, repeat the procedure 2-3 times a week for 2 months. It is more effective to combine external use and oral administration of the drug.

Use of vitamin C –

Everyone knows that this vitamin is a strong antioxidant, but its properties do not end there. For example, numerous clinical studies have confirmed the effect of vitamin C on the synthesis of collagen and elastin fibers. We can say that after vitamin A, vitamin C is the most important vitamin for maintaining the good condition of our skin.

Effects of Vitamin C on Skin –

• protects skin from ultraviolet radiation,
• protects skin from free radicals,
• participates in the synthesis of collagen fibers,
• reduces the depth of wrinkles,
• reduces pigmentation on the skin,
• stimulates skin cell regeneration.

The term “vitamin C” (as well as vitamin A) does not mean one specific molecule, but a whole group of substances, which include: L-ascorbic acid, sodium ascorbyl phosphate, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate, ascorbyl palmitate, sodium ascorbate and others.

The most effective form of vitamin C is L-ascorbic acid. The remaining substances are only its predecessors, i.e. they turn into it after application and absorption into the skin. Below we have given examples of high-quality products with vitamin C (Fig. 11-13) -

To learn how to choose and apply anti-aging cosmetics with this vitamin correctly, read the article: “Rating of 2022 products with vitamin C”

Research into the effect of vitamin C on collagen synthesis has led to an explosion in the number of cosmetic products containing this vitamin. Many patients leave rave reviews about such cosmetics, while others do not see its effectiveness at all. What is this connected with?

It turned out that not only the form of vitamin C in the product is very important, but also its concentration, and even the pH of cosmetics. No less important is the manufacturing technology (stabilizing vitamin C) so that it does not disintegrate from air and light even before applying the cream or serum to the skin.
