Vitamin C

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant, known for its anti-aging and skin-lightening properties. It protects the skin from premature aging by neutralizing free radicals that cause cellular damage, particularly from pollution and UV rays. By inhibiting melanin production, it helps fade hyperpigmentation and even out skin tone, while smoothing skin texture for a natural glow. By stimulating collagen synthesis, vitamin C also strengthens skin elasticity, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and promoting healing.

It is recommended to avoid combining vitamin C with other potentially irritating active ingredients such as fruit acids (AHA/BHA) or retinol. These ingredients can be aggressive for the skin, can reduce the effectiveness of vitamin C and damage the skin barrier. Thus, to preserve the integrity of the skin and maximize the benefits of vitamin C, it is best to integrate it into your skincare routine gradually and avoid mixing it with other irritating active ingredients.

Packaged in opaque containers to maintain its stability, vitamin C is ideally applied in the morning to maximize its effects, in combination with a sunscreen. UV rays are a leading cause of premature skin aging and can counteract the beneficial effects of vitamin C. Applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen after using vitamin C helps protect the skin from UV damage, ensuring optimal protection throughout the day.
