Vitamin C is the go-to vitamin for building your immune system, but it’s also a proven powerhouse in skincare products too. Read on to discover the best vitamin C skincare products, including serums, cleansers and targeted treatments…
Topically, Vitamin C keeps skin healthy by protecting it from oxidative damage caused by daily exposure to light, heat, and pollution. Furthermore, adding Vitamin C to your beauty regime may brighten your skin, reduce inflammation, and help to promote healthy collagen production.
Dr Nitasha Buldeo, skincare doctor and Organic Apoteke founder comments: ‘Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant for the skin. It boosts collagen production and prevents skin discolouration.’
