It’s my secret to smooth, even skin.

If you were to ask which skincare ingredients I deem absolutely essential—from an anti-aging standpoint—vitamin C would undoubtedly top the list, right next to retinol. Given its brightening, glow-inducing capabilities, vitamin C is, understandably, the star of countless serums and moisturizers, though it’s relatively absent in the body care realm.
Truthfully, I hadn’t considered whether I’d been depriving my limbs of vitamin C-induced, goddess-like luminosity until Nécessaire released an aptly named elixir, The Body Vitamin C.
Nécessaire The Body Vitamin C
Necessaire
Nécessaire’s The Body Vitamin C is a lightweight, fragrance-free anti-aging serum for the skin below your chin. Ideal for all skin types, including ultra-sensitive, the formula delivers the brightening, tone-evening, glow-inducing benefits vitamin C offers, the likes of which most of your skin has been missing.
Personally, I’m not sure how I frollicked around in shorts before this stuff. In three weeks of use, my limbs have become remarkably glowy, smooth, and—unless my eyes are deceiving me—even-toned, to the point I feel comfortable skipping body makeup.
The gel-like formula absorbs in seconds sans sticky residue—which, frankly, is a refreshing departure from the tacky feel I’ve experienced with other C-spiked formulas. Importantly, Nécessaire’s serum is housed in an opaque container, complete with an airtight pump for maximum stability—and thus, efficacy.
Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, a.k.a. THD, as found in Nécessaire’s serum, is “a highly stable form” of the notoriously finicky ingredient, Dr. Adrienne O'Connell, Medical Director of Laguna Beach Aesthetics, previously told InStyle. Furthermore, THD delivers “a brighter, more hydrated glow” than other forms.
Enzymes, also found in the formula, gently resurface, sloughing dead, dull cells to reveal smoother skin after a single use.
Science aside, I can personally confirm that Nécessaire’s vitamin C does, in fact, deliver visible radiance. I’ve been using the product for a few weeks, and have already noticed significantly smoother, more even-toned skin; even my childhood scars, remnants of over-scratched mosquito bites, appear less prominent. As I can also attest, the serum delivers an instant dose of dewiness, and gives skin a silky finish that lasts for hours.
Finally, the formula contains niacinamide—a buzzy B vitamin that’s garnered praise from countless dermatologists in light of numerous benefits. Key among them: Reversing signs of skin damage, including hyperpigmentation.
