Collagen synthesis support: Vitamin C is a co-factor for the enzymes (prolyl hydroxylase, lysyl hydroxylase) that stabilize and cross-link collagen, helping maintain dermal structure and reduce signs of aging (wrinkles, sagging).
Pigmentation / brightening effect: Vitamin C can inhibit the enzyme tyrosinase (which is involved in melanin production) and reduce hyperpigmentation, leading to more even skin tone.
Improved skin firmness, elasticity, hydration: Some studies (especially mesotherapy/sonophoresis with ascorbic acid) show improved skin elasticity, reduced redness (erythema), and better barrier/hydration.
Vitamin C is important in collagen in other tissues so systemic injection may support general tissue repair or health (though cosmetic claims should be scrutinized).
