So, what is Vitamin C and how does it work?

In terms of skincare, Vitamin C is a ‘potent antioxidant that neutralises free radicles’ - Patricia Wexler (board-certified dermatologist). ‘Because of its antioxidant properties, vitamin C aids in your skin’s natural regeneration process, which helps your body repair damaged skin cells’. It naturally improves the appearance of skin by boosting collagen production which diminishes fine lines and wrinkles and inhibits the production of melanin which fades dark spots and dull skin.
