Vitamin C serum provides benefits for your skin. It has properties that stimulate collagen synthesis, which helps prevent premature aging. Vitamin C serum also helps protect your skin against sun damage. Check serums periodically for a yellowish hue, which indicates oxidation of the serum, says Dr. Sumaiya Khan in the April 2010 article "Vitamin C Serum" on Buzzle.com. Discard oxidized serums. Vitamin C serum is for external use only. Avoid contact with your eyes.

Anti-aging

Vitamin C serum contains antioxidants that help stimulate collagen and restore the elasticity of your skin, therefore decreasing fine lines and wrinkles. Use vitamin C serum to help reverse photo-aging from prior sun exposure while evening out your skin tone. Vitamin C serum also helps fade lentigines, which are brown age spots. If moderate stinging or irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.

Skin Protection

Vitamin C serum enhances the protection of your skin's natural barrier function. The serum protects your skin from UVA and UVB exposure. It also provides relief from sunburned skin by reducing redness and enhancing your skin's healing process. Vitamin C skin care products have potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that aid in skin healing and protection, says David Pascoe in the August 2008 article "Topical Vitamins A, C, E and B3" on Rosacea-Support.org.

Moisturized Skin

Apply vitamin C serum topically to provide your dry skin with needed moisture. The serum is absorbed deeply into your skin to help repair dry and damaged skin. Vitamin C serum helps restore your skin's hydration, smoothness and natural glow. Vitamin C serum can quickly improve your complexion and skin texture.
