Vitamin C is one of the most clinically proven skincare ingredients. It brightens, protects against free radicals, and supports collagen production. But not all vitamin C products are created equal – some are unstable or too harsh for sensitive skin.
That’s why IMAGE Skincare Vital C is such a standout range. Formulated with stabilised vitamin C alongside soothing botanicals, it’s designed for dry, sensitive, and redness-prone skin – something we see a lot of in Irish patients at Eden Medical clinics.
Below, our experts break down the six core products in the IMAGE Vital C line and explain how to use them together for the best results.
Gentle, creamy cleanser that removes impurities while infusing skin with antioxidants.
- Key ingredients: Vitamin C, vitamins A and E, and gentle surfactants.
- Why it works for Irish skin: Many foaming cleansers strip the skin barrier, leaving it sensitised in damp, windy climates. This formula nourishes as it cleanses, making it ideal for those prone to redness.
- How to use: Massage into damp skin morning and evening. Remove with lukewarm water.
Lightweight daily serum with stabilised vitamin C to brighten and protect.
-
Key ingredients: Vitamin C derivatives, hyaluronic acid, and green tea extract.
-
Benefits: Boosts radiance, improves fine lines, and delivers antioxidant protection under SPF.
-
Expert note: Serums are the best way to get vitamin C directly into the skin. Apply each morning before your moisturiser and SPF.
Rich, nourishing cream that hydrates while calming sensitivity.
-
Key ingredients: Vitamin C, ceramides, and hyaluronic acid.
-
Best for: Dry, dehydrated, or post-treatment skin.
-
Why it’s different: Many Irish patients with redness or rosacea struggle with moisturisers that sting. This cream is formulated to soothe while supporting barrier repair.
Targeted treatment for puffiness, fine lines, and dark circles.
-
Key ingredients: Vitamin C, peptides, and hyaluronic acid.
-
Benefits: Brightens the under-eye area, hydrates delicate skin, and reduces visible fatigue.
-
Usage tip: Store in the fridge for an extra cooling, de-puffing effect.
Weekly brightening treatment with gentle exfoliation.
-
Key ingredients: Natural fruit enzymes, vitamin C, and hyaluronic acid.
-
Why it works: Irish skin can be sensitive to harsh scrubs and acids. This masque resurfaces with enzymes, leaving skin smooth and radiant without irritation.
-
How to use: Apply once or twice weekly, leave for 5–10 minutes, and rinse thoroughly.
Ultra-rich moisturiser for intense hydration and antioxidant protection.
-
Key ingredients: Vitamin C, shea butter, and hyaluronic acid.
-
Best for: Very dry or mature skin needing extra comfort.
-
Seasonal tip: Perfect for winter months in Ireland, when central heating and cold winds increase dryness.
How to Build a Vital C Routine
- Morning: Cleanse → Serum → Eye Gel → Intense Moisturiser → SPF
- Evening: Cleanse → Enzyme Masque (1–2x per week) → Repair Crème → Eye Gel
This routine delivers antioxidant protection in the day, and deep repair at night.
