Vitamin C

What is Vitamin C?

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is an essential nutrient with many benefits for the health of your skin and your body in general.

It is a powerful antioxidant that protects the skin from damage caused by free radicals, which are unstable molecules produced by environmental factors such as sunlight and pollution. This can help prevent premature skin aging and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and dark spots.

It also stimulates collagen production, which is a key protein for skin health as it provides firmness and elasticity. It brightens the skin and improves pigmentation.

Vitamin C is found in many skincare products such as serums, creams, lotions, and masks. It is present in citrus fruits like oranges, lemons, and kiwis.

It can be sensitive to light and heat, so you should store products containing vitamin C in opaque containers and protect them from direct sunlight.
