VITAMIN C

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid and L-ascorbic acid, is a powerful antioxidant that protects the skin against free radicals. It is not produced by our body and the only way to obtain it is through supplements or your diet, commonly found on citrus fruits.
Vitamin C has a bigger benefit when applied topically instead of taken orally, and it helps with tissue repair.

The most known fact about vitamin c is that it helps with hyperpigmentation and brown spots, lightening the skin and giving an even tone, enhancing skin radiance.

Antioxidant:
Vitamin C protects the skin from damage caused by free radicals and environmental aggressors like UV rays and pollution. Antioxidants are powerful anti-aging agents that help in reduction of pigmentation and fine lines and wrinkles.

Brightening:
It has the property of inhibiting melanin production, lightening the skin by reducing dark spots, resulting in an even skin tone which results in a brighter and youthful complexion.

Collagen production:
Vitamin C promotes the production of collagen, encouraging healthy cell turnover and regeneration. It is good to apply it topically to potential thickening of the skin.
The best way to use Vitamin C is as a serum before a moisturizer, applying it every morning. It may take about 6-8 weeks to see changes, so consistency is key.
