Vitamin C flips your skin’s “youth genes,” reversing age-related thinning
Japanese researchers have found that vitamin C can thicken skin by switching on genes that boost skin cell growth, helping reverse age-related thinning. It works by reactivating DNA through a process that lets cells regenerate more effectively—potentially a game-changer for aging skin.
Want to restore your skin to a youthful glow? A handful of strawberries or a glass of bell pepper juice may be the answer! New research shows that vitamin C has more than just the well-known immune booster and antioxidant effects. It not only protects the skin, but can also reverse the basic aging process of skin cells at the genetic level by turning on unactivated skin renewal genes.
Vitamin C rediscovered as a genetic youth serum in landmark skin study
