Indispensable helpers for radiant skin

Skin care is more than just a beauty ritual - it is an investment in the health and well-being of the skin. Vitamins play a crucial role in this. They help the skin stay healthy, radiant and youthful. But which vitamins should definitely not be missing from your skin care routine? In this article we give you an overview of the most important vitamins, their effects and tips for use.

Vitamin A (Retinol) – Der Anti-Aging-Allrounder

Vitamin A, better known as retinol , is one of the most effective vitamins against skin aging. It promotes cell renewal, stimulates collagen production and thus ensures smoother, firmer skin. Retinol can reduce fine lines and wrinkles, reduce pigmentation spots and refine the overall appearance of the skin.

Retinol should be applied in the evening after cleansing and before moisturizer. Since retinol makes the skin more sensitive to UV radiation, daily sun protection the next morning is essential.

Start using retinol twice a week to slowly get your skin used to it. You can gradually increase the frequency, depending on your tolerance and skin type.

Vitamin C – The Radiance Booster

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that protects the skin from free radicals caused by pollution and UV rays. It brightens the complexion, reduces pigmentation and promotes collagen production, resulting in firmer skin.

Vitamin C serums should be applied in the morning after cleansing and before moisturizer. Combine it with a sunscreen for the best protection against skin damage caused by UV rays.

Vitamin C can be used daily. However, start with a lower concentration (e.g. 10%) and increase to 15% or 20% if necessary if your skin tolerates it well.

Vitamin E – The Moisture Provider

Vitamin E is another powerful antioxidant that strengthens the skin barrier and helps retain moisture. It soothes the skin, reduces inflammation and promotes healing, making it ideal for dry and sensitive skin.

Vitamin E is often used in combination with vitamin C as it can enhance its effects. It can be applied both morning and evening after cleansing and before moisturizer.

Vitamin E is very well tolerated and can be used daily. It is particularly effective in combination with other antioxidant ingredients.

Vitamin B3 (Niacinamid) – Der Multitasker

Vitamin B3, also known as niacinamide , is a true all-rounder in skin care. It reduces the appearance of pores, improves skin tone, softens fine lines and strengthens the skin barrier. It also regulates sebum production and is therefore also suitable for oily skin types.

Niacinamide is very well tolerated and can therefore be used daily or even twice daily, i.e. morning and evening. It combines well with other active ingredients and can be used in serum or cream form.

Niacinamide adapts well to the needs of the skin and is therefore suitable for all skin types.

Vitamin K – The expert against dark circles under the eyes

Vitamin K is lesser known but extremely effective when it comes to reducing dark circles and redness. It supports blood clotting and helps reduce discoloration under the eyes.

Vitamin K is often found in eye creams. It is best applied to the cleansed eye area in the evening before going to bed.

Daily use is recommended, especially for problems such as dark circles or enlarged capillaries.

Vitamin D – The skin protection from within

Vitamin D , also known as the "sunshine vitamin", is not only essential for bone health, but also plays an important role in skin care. It supports cell regeneration and the repair of the skin barrier, which can be particularly helpful for inflammatory skin conditions such as acne, rosacea or psoriasis.

Vitamin D can be used both orally and topically. In skin care it is often found in creams or serums. It can be applied both morning and evening and works well in combination with other soothing ingredients.

Daily use is ideal, especially in the winter months when the body's vitamin D production is limited due to lack of sun. Be sure to choose products that are suitable for your skin type to avoid oversupply.
