The Complete Guide To Vitamins In Skincare 

Vitamins play an important role in healthy skin. This guide explains the key vitamins used in skincare, what they do, and how to get them.

Essential Vitamins for Skin Care

Vitamin C

Vitamin C supports collagen production and is a powerful antioxidant that helps brighten the look of dull skin and uneven tone. Explore our Vitamin C Serum and other serums.

Vitamin C works best in your morning routine. Apply it after cleansing and before moisturizer, then always finish with sunscreen. Vitamin C is not a replacement for sunscreen, but its antioxidant protection works alongside SPF to help defend your skin against sun and pollution damage.

Our Superfruit Moisturizer with Vitamin C combines hydration with antioxidant care for everyday use.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant that helps protect skin lipids and keeps skin soft. It does not protect against UV rays, but it can help soothe skin after sun exposure.

Vitamin A

Vitamin A, including retinol and its derivatives, supports skin renewal and can improve the look of fine lines and uneven texture. Start slowly, use it at night and always wear sunscreen during the day. Our Lunar Oil contains 0.2% retinol.

Vitamin D

Vitamin D supports overall skin health. Your body mainly makes it from sunlight and gets it from food, so speak to your doctor if you think you may be deficient.

Vitamin B complex

The B vitamins include B3 (niacinamide), B5 (panthenol) and B7 (biotin).

Niacinamide (B3)

Niacinamide helps refine the look of pores, improve skin texture and support a healthy skin barrier. Try our Night Cream with Niacinamide.

Panthenol (B5)

Panthenol keeps skin hydrated and helps calm redness and irritation.

Biotin (B7)

Biotin is a water-soluble vitamin that supports healthy skin, hair and nails, mostly through diet.

Where to Get These Vitamins

A balanced diet with fruits, vegetables, nuts and whole grains is the main source of vitamins for healthy skin. Skincare products with vitamins like C, B3 and B5 deliver them directly to the skin for targeted benefits.

Is Taking Vitamins Better Than Applying Them?

Both play a role. Diet supports your skin from the inside, while topical products target specific concerns like dullness or dryness. If you are considering supplements, check with your doctor first.

Final Thoughts

Vitamins C, E, A and the B group all support healthy-looking skin. Choose products that match your skin's needs, use them consistently, and always protect your skin with sunscreen. If you have a skin condition or allergy, consult a dermatologist before trying new products.
