Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is an essential substance for healthy human development. It is important for the growth and repair of skin tissues, tendons, wounds, and for strengthening the body’s repair processes in general. This is why the combination of hyaluronic acid and vitamin C is so beneficial.
The combined properties of both substances provide multiple benefits, as they create the moisturizing and reparative conditions the human body needs to function properly.

How to obtain hyaluronic acid and vitamin C
You should know that vitamin C cannot be synthesized by the human body. This is a major difference compared to hyaluronic acid, which can be of animal or synthetic origin. Vitamin C, however, can be concentrated through extraction from foods and plants, while hyaluronic acid can be synthesized. The important point is that, at the end of the process, both substances can be obtained in various formats and types of products.
Although hyaluronic acid is produced naturally in the body, it is never fully replenished. Therefore, one way to obtain hyaluronic acid and vitamin C is through the intake of dietary supplements. This is the easiest option, although you can also choose foods rich in vitamins and take hyaluronic acid separately.
Vitamin C:
- You can take it through supplements.
- Add it to your diet with citrus foods.
- It is of plant origin.
Hyaluronic acid:
- The body produces it naturally.
- With age, production levels decrease, so it is necessary to add it to the diet.
- It can be obtained by incorporating supplements into the diet.
- It can be synthetic or of animal origin depending on its use.
Benefits of hyaluronic acid with vitamin C
These two substances are closely related. Both are essential for the repair of cartilage and bones, teeth, wound healing, and scar recovery. They also contribute to tendon health. In addition, they help block cell oxidation and reduce the risk of infections and colds. When adequate levels of both are present, any symptoms tend to be mild, although optimal levels should be maintained consistently.
Excess of vitamin C and hyaluronic acid
It is very difficult to consume excessive amounts of either substance. One advantage of vitamin C is that it is water-soluble, meaning it dissolves in water and is easily excreted in urine. This prevents it from accumulating in the body, reducing the risk of problems associated with excessive intake. However, it must be replenished daily. If you enjoy oranges, this is a clear advantage.
As for hyaluronic acid, the body needs to continuously replenish its supply. In many cases, levels may be lower than what is considered optimal for repairing all tissues. Since the main properties of hyaluronic acid are moisturizing and maintaining a moist environment for cells throughout the body, normal metabolic processes already contribute to its utilization. To exceed recommended levels, extremely large amounts would be required. The scientific literature does not document cases of excess from oral intake. This refers specifically to natural hyaluronic acid, not injectable forms.
Brands of vitamin C and hyaluronic acid
- Collmar
- EPAPLUS
- Expert
- Drasanvi
- La Roche Posay
- Aquilea
- Endocare
- Martiderm
At this point, it is important to differentiate between dietary supplements and cosmetic products. Dietary supplements are used to support nutrition and provide additional benefits, sometimes to strengthen the immune system or improve specific functions. These include brands such as Epaplus, Collmar, Drasanvi, and Expert, which offer different formats like capsules or powdered supplements containing hyaluronic acid.
If the goal is to improve the skin directly, cosmetic products are more appropriate. While supplements can help, visible signs of aging often benefit from topical treatment. In this case, suitable options include products focused on the action of FPS proteoglycans, available at a good price from Martiderm in ampoule form, or Endocare C20. Both contain liquid vitamin C along with glycosaminoglycans or glycoproteins that, in addition to hydration, provide enhanced vitamin-based activity.

How could I obtain hyaluronic acid in powder form, and how much does it cost?
There are different brands and products, and prices vary depending on size and quantity. I cannot give you a single, definitive answer. If you want, I can email you information about where you can check prices so you can decide what best suits your needs.
Hello! My name is Diana. I am 50 years old, and I read an article online about vitamin C and hyaluronic acid being combined to help reduce wrinkles. I am currently experimenting with this. I bought liquid vitamin C (1,000 mg) and hyaluronic acid in capsule form because I could not find it in powder or liquid form. What I do is open a capsule, take the powder inside, mix it with the liquid vitamin C to make a paste, and apply it to my face to see if it works. Please send me information on whether this is safe or recommended. I have only been doing this for a short time.
The best option is to buy a cream or serum that contains hyaluronic acid and vitamin C. The molecules in powder form are a different size from those found in cosmetic products. It is better to use vitamin C directly on the skin, as it works very well on its own.
There is a homeopathic product containing hyaluronic acid and vitamin C that comes in a 100 mL solution. It can be injected into the face or administered intramuscularly. It is used in my clinic.
Thank you for sharing this, Mariela.
For Mariela: could you please tell me where this procedure is performed? Thank you.

Hello, can a vitamin C serum and hyaluronic acid be used while being exposed to the sun, at the beach, etc.?
Thank you!
In principle, yes, but vitamin C should not be used in excessive concentrations to avoid skin discoloration. Although it has recently been said that it does not cause dark spots when exposed to the sun, during summer it is better to avoid using it on days when you go to the beach if possible.
I want to buy a cream that contains hyaluronic acid and vitamin C, but I cannot find it in any store. Could you please tell me where it is available? Thank you.
Hello Dolores, you can buy creams online and in stores that sell cosmetic and beauty products.
I can tell you how to get vitamin C in drops. It is a globally certified organic product called Moizkin. If you are interested, please get in touch. Greetings. I also have a lotion with hyaluronic acid.
Hyaluronic acid is found in eggs. You need to remove the thin membrane inside the eggshell immediately after cracking the egg, because it becomes harder to remove later. Let it dry, and once you have enough, grind it in a small grinder like a coffee grinder. The result is a white powder, which is hyaluronic acid.
Hello, good morning! Yesterday I bought an eye contour cream and day and night moisturizing creams. All three contain hyaluronic acid and vitamin C. I bought them from La Roche Posay. My sister told me not to use them because they cause dark spots. In fact, I bought them for my skin, which is dry. I am also very young to be using them, I am 27 years old. She says this because her freckles became darker and turned into spots, and now I am scared because I also have freckles. Can you help me by commenting on this? Thank you.
Where can I buy it and how much does it cost?
You can buy it in para-pharmacies and stores that sell cosmetic products such as creams and serums. It is sold as a liquid, cream, and there are also supplements available to take orally, such as capsules or powder.
I started by using vitamin C on my face first. I buy the tablets and prepare the serum along with hyaluronic acid, and it has given me good results.
The thing is that a friend of mine is using hyaluronic acid mixed with powdered vitamin C, applied topically, and she is not seeing results in reducing wrinkles.
It may help reduce wrinkles, but it all depends on their depth, age, skin type, and other factors.
Hello, can injectable hyaluronic acid with vitamin C be used to repair tendons? I was told it works very well.
If the treatment is performed by a specialist such as a traumatologist or physiotherapist, there should be no problems. I do not know the type of injury or exactly what you plan to use it for, so it is best to follow the specialist’s guidance.
Is mixing hyaluronic acid with powdered vitamin C advisable, or does it give good results for reducing facial wrinkles?
