What the science says
Vitamin C has some evidence for fading dark patches, especially melasma, and most studies found it worked better than a placebo 1. For signs of aging, vitamin C has some evidence of smoothing wrinkles and uneven tone in sun-damaged skin, though it did not clearly beat a placebo for skin hydration 2. Side effects in the dark-spot studies were usually mild and brief 1. One study reported no irritation or sensitivity 2.
