The Ultimate Guide to Vitamin C in Skincare: Why Pt78 and SkinCeuticals Are Leading the Way

Vitamin C has become one of the most researched and recommended ingredients in modern skincare — and for good reason. Known for its brightening, anti-ageing, and protective properties, Vitamin C is a powerhouse when it comes to maintaining radiant, healthy skin. At Pt78 Skin and Body, we’ve built our skincare philosophy on a foundation of natural actives and proven science, which is why we’re proud to offer both our own Vitamin C formulations and the globally recognised range from SkinCeuticals.




Why Vitamin C is Essential for Skin Health



Vitamin C (ascorbic acid and its derivatives) supports the skin in three important ways:


  • Protects against free radicals caused by UV exposure and pollution.

  • Boosts collagen production for firmer, plumper skin.

  • Reduces pigmentation and brightens tone, making the complexion look more even and luminous.



For Australians in particular, with high UV levels year-round, Vitamin C is not just an optional serum — it is an essential step in every morning routine, right after cleansing and before sunscreen.




Pt78 Highlight C: Australian Botanicals Meet Clinical Science



Our own Pt78 Highlight C 15% Vitamin C Serum combines Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, a stable and potent Vitamin C derivative, with Australian botanicals like Kakadu Plum and Davidson Plum. These native fruits are among the richest natural sources of Vitamin C on earth and deliver additional antioxidant power to protect against environmental stressors.


Highlight C is designed to:


  • Improve skin elasticity and firmness

  • Reduce fine lines and wrinkles

  • Deliver a youthful, luminous glow



It’s lightweight, gentle, and effective — a natural complement to the advanced formulations from SkinCeuticals.




SkinCeuticals Vitamin C: The Global Gold Standard



SkinCeuticals is considered the benchmark brand for Vitamin C serums worldwide, trusted by dermatologists and skin clinics across Australia. Each product undergoes rigorous clinical testing to prove its results, and their Vitamin C line is particularly iconic.


Some standouts available at Pt78 Skin and Body include:




These products are widely regarded as the gold standard in antioxidant serums, making them a must-have for anyone serious about anti-ageing skincare in Australia.




Building the Perfect Vitamin C Routine



To get the best results from Vitamin C, consistency and pairing matter:


  1. Cleanse thoroughly with a gentle wash such as our Pt78 Cream Cleanser or SkinCeuticals Gentle Cleanser.

  2. Apply Vitamin C serum (Pt78 Highlight C or your preferred SkinCeuticals formula).

  3. Follow with a moisturiser such as the SkinCeuticals Emollience Rich Hydrating Moisturiser or our Pt78 Moisture+ Hydrating Moisturiser.

  4. Finish with sunscreen daily, like SkinCeuticals Ultra Facial Defense SPF 50.



This combination provides antioxidant defence, hydration, and sun protection — the three pillars of radiant, youthful skin.




Vitamin C for Australians: Why It Matters



Australian skin is exposed to some of the highest levels of UV radiation in the world, making antioxidant protection non-negotiable. Vitamin C serums like Pt78 Highlight C and SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic are critical for preventing premature ageing, reducing pigmentation, and supporting long-term skin health.


By investing in premium, clinically proven formulations, you are not just treating your skin today — you are protecting it for the future.
