Topical C serums are not correlated with the improvement acne, but they do help counteract the free radical damage caused by benzoyle peroxide, an active ingredient found in a variety of acne products. Topical vitamin c is widely known for its anti-aging benefits as a free radical scavenger.  Other benefits include lightening of hyperpigmentation (dark spots/areas), overall brightening of the skin, minimizing fine lines and crepiness, minimizing redness (when used in the correct percentage and pH). There are over 200 hundred topical c products currently on the market, but only a handful that have been proven to be efficacious.
