VITAMIN C OVERVIEW

Vitamin C is an antioxidant that helps to fight inflammation, and protect the skin from free radical damage. Vitamin C is ideal for brightening the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and diminishing skin discolouration. Vitamin C makes a great difference in the skin and can also treat concerns like hydration, premature ageing signs and pigmentation.

What are the benefits of Vitamin C?

Vitamin C can help fade discolouration, protect the skin against environmental aggressors, improve hydration, smooth wrinkles, and keep the skin looking radiant and healthy. 

What can you not mix Vitamin C with?

It is not recommended to mix Vitamin C with Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs), such as Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid and Mandelic Acid, and Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHAs), like Salicylic Acid. Mixing Vitamin C with these acids may result in skin irritation and dryness.

How do I use Vitamin C in my skincare routine?

Vitamin C can be in the form of a cleanser, serum, eye cream, moisturiser and more. A Vitamin C serum is the most effective way to implement Vitamin C into your routine. The Vitamin C serum will be more concentrated and as a result, can better penetrate the skin to provide effective results.
