It works as an antioxidant, protecting your skin from environmental factors like free radical damage that can lead to premature skin ageing. More than that, one of the most appealing properties of SAP is that multiple studies show it enhances the photoprotective properties of sunscreen. In other words, it prevents sunburn and makes your SPF more effective. Win-win!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also antimicrobial and notably less irritating than the more intense forms of vitamin C, making it a top choice for managing breakouts and for those of us with sensitive skin. It may even be an effective adjunct to anti-acne products like benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns blogColumn is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66%\">\n<p>Known for its brightening, acne-fighting, and anti-ageing abilities, vitamin C is an ingredient that should be a part of everyone\u2019s skincare routine. Using it in the morning has its advantages, by protecting the skin from daily stressors. But adding it to your nighttime routine wouldn&#8217;t hurt either.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/beautserums.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sodium-ascorbyl-phosphate-full-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beautserums.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sodium-ascorbyl-phosphate-full-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/beautserums.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sodium-ascorbyl-phosphate-full-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/beautserums.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sodium-ascorbyl-phosphate-full-100x150.jpg 100w, https:\/\/beautserums.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sodium-ascorbyl-phosphate-full-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/beautserums.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sodium-ascorbyl-phosphate-full-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/beautserums.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sodium-ascorbyl-phosphate-full-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/beautserums.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sodium-ascorbyl-phosphate-full.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>While you sleep your skin gets to indulge in its natural repair process (without being bombarded by sunlight, dirt, and other daytime aggressors). Blood flow increases and collagen starts to rebuild, helping your skin repair damage like fine lines and age spots that have been caused by UV exposure. Vitamin C also boosts collagen production, so think of slathering it on morning and night as getting the best of both worlds. And because SAP is a far less irritating version of other forms of vitamin C, you can use it daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SAP has a laundry list of skin-loving benefits that&#8217;ll keep your skin in its best shape yet. Always remember that no matter when you&#8217;re applying your vitamin C serum, layer SPF on top (if it&#8217;s in the morning), and use it the following day (after applying it at night) to keep your skin protected.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SAP is a super stable form of vitamin C, which means you don&#8217;t have to worry about it losing its potency.
