Can topical Vitamin C change skin pH and affect its barrier?

Topical Vitamin C formulas are typically acidic, with a pH range of 2.5 to 3.5. This is necessary for ascorbic acid to penetrate the skin effectively. While this acidity can temporarily lower skin pH, well-formulated products are designed to minimize this and support the skin's barrier function.
