PROVEN BENEFITS

The science behind it is complex but basically, the antioxidant properties of vitamin C and its role in collagen synthesis (how the body makes and uses collagen to build and hold skin cells together) make vitamin C a vital molecule for skin health. 
Even in doses as low as 0.6% (usually found as Ascorbic Acid on your ingredients list), the proven benefits of using an enriched product can include:
  • Better sun protection
  • Fewer fine lines and wrinkles
  • Increased protection against environmental damage and free radicals
  • Increased elasticity in the skin
  • A more even skin tone
  • Fades discolouration
  • Is anti-inflammatory
TOP TIP: Vitamin C is light sensitive, with a view to maintain the potency of your serum over a longer period, top quality products will come in darker bottles!
Trinny swears by vitamin C and we love her vlog dedicated to this miracle vitamin!
