A powerhouse ingredient for dark spots and dull skin, Vitamin C neutralises free radicals from external factors such as UV radiation, pollution, blue light, and fades pigmentation like no other.
What is Vitamin C?
Vitamin C is the primary antioxidant in our skin, it is an essential nutrient which is required for the production of collagen.
How does it work?
As Vitamin C is water soluble and not stored in the body, we need to obtain it from external sources such as topical treatments.
What are the benefits?
Vitamin C has powerful antioxidant properties from promoting collagen and elastin, reducing anti-aging effects and giving firmer, smoother and more resilient skin.
Who should use it?
Anyone looking to brighten skin, prevent wrinkles and reduce pigmentation will benefit from adding Vitamin C into their skincare routine. Those with sensitive skin are advised to wear SPF in addition to Vitamin C products to help strengthen skin barriers.
