If you want your skin to look young and healthy, then a good cleanser is a must have product. There are many products that are available in the market but not all of them provide what they promise. But with Vitamin C cleansers, you can get all your skin care needs fulfilled in one single bottle. This Voibon skincare article will explain the factors to check before buying a cleanser enriched with Vitamin C
Check whether it contains natural ingredients.
Those who are familiar with the benefits of Vitamin C will be aware that it is an antioxidant, and therefore has anti-aging properties. This can help to prevent the premature aging of your skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
The best vitamin C cleanser will contain natural ingredients that are good for your skin. It’s important to check whether there are any artificial fragrances or dyes in the product before purchasing it, as these may irritate your skin or cause an allergic reaction.
Check whether the product comes in a tube or bottle that prevents exposure to light and air.
A tube or bottle that prevents exposure to light and air. Vitamin C converts to L-ascorbic acid in the presence of oxygen in the presence of light, so it’s best to avoid clear or translucent bottles that allow exposure to both light and air (or any other air-filled container)
Avoid flip-top caps on bottles where the product may come into contact with your hands directly, as well as screw caps because they require more effort than other types of caps to seal tight once opened.
Check what form of Vitamin C it contains.
Your cleanser can contain one of several forms of Vitamin C:
- Ascorbic acid: This is the most active form. It’s water-soluble and works by dissolving in oil to break up dirt and makeup.
- Sodium ascorbyl phosphate (SAP): SAP is a derivation of L-ascorbic acid that’s less irritating than pure L-ascorbic acid. It’s even more water-soluble than regular Vitamin C, so it’ll break up even more gunk on your face. You’ll find SAP in many serums and moisturizers, but not as much in cleansers because it doesn’t have great cleansing properties on its own—it needs something else to help cleanse for it to be effective at removing makeup without stripping skin dry or irritating it with harsh chemicals like sulfates (we’ll get into those below).
- Calcium ascorbate: This form is typically only found in serums because it doesn’t dissolve well in water; however, some companies have found ways around this problem by altering their formulas so they can still use calcium ascorbate while making sure the product rinses cleanly off skin despite its inability to dissolve easily into water alone like sodium or magnesium do!
Check the amount of vitamin C it contains.
You want to look for a cleanser that has at least 20% of the recommended daily value (RDA). If you’re looking for a more potent product, one with 30% or higher RDA could be beneficial.
This number will tell you how much vitamin C is in the product, which means it can help determine how well it works for your skin. If the product contains less than 20%, then there is not enough of this important ingredient to make a difference in your skin health and appearance.
Check whether it also works well with a moisturizer.
If you’re a skincare enthusiast, then you probably know that moisturizer is an important part of your routine. Moisturizers help keep the skin hydrated and protect it from damage and irritation. They can also prevent dry skin and reduce wrinkles by keeping the skin plump and elastic.

It’s important to look for a Vitamin C cleanser that works well with a moisturizer, because if your cleanser strips away all your natural oils or dries out your face too much, you may find yourself having to apply more than one type of product before bedtime—and that would defeat the purpose (and won’t be as effective).
Conclusion
That said, if you’re looking for something that contains a variety of beneficial ingredients and can also work well with moisturizers and other products from your skincare routine then we recommend trying out some different formulas until you find one that feels right.
