Ingredient Spotlight: Vitamin C

Vitamin C has long been a part of the skincare industry, holding many amazing benefits. Let's look into what Vitamin C serum is doing for you...Or why you should include it in your skincare routine.

Vitamin C helps promote collagen production It can also result in a reduction of the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and hyper-pigmentation for a more even skin and tone. 

 

It may help soothe sunburns. In addition to minimizing redness, vitamin C accelerates cell turnover. Amazingly it replaces the damaged cells with healthy new ones.


Vitamin C is rich in antioxidants. Antioxidants  help to protect healthy skin cells and gives the skin a healthy bright "glowy" look. If applied in the morning make sure to use a sun protector. Not recommended in direct sun light.
