What is Vitamin C for Skin?

Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that protects the skin from harmful environmental stressors like pollution and UV damage. Known for its skin-brightening properties, Vitamin C reduces the appearance of dark spots, promotes an even skin tone, and supports natural collagen production, helping to firm the skin and reduce the signs of ageing.

Ideal for all skin types, including sensitive and reactive skin, Vitamin C is a must-have ingredient in any skincare routine.

Benefits of Using Vitamin C in Your Skincare Routine

  • Brightens Skin Tone: Vitamin C reduces hyperpigmentation and promotes a more luminous complexion.
  • Fights Free Radicals: As an antioxidant, Vitamin C neutralises free radicals, protecting the skin from oxidative stress.
  • Boosts Collagen Production: It supports collagen synthesis, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Protects Against UV Damage: While not a substitute for sunscreen, Vitamin C can help mitigate the effects of UV exposure.
  • Enhances Radiance: It revitalises the skin, leaving it with a youthful glow and a more vibrant appearance.
