Remember a time when mom would chase you to have that extra fruit or juice in the morning? There’s reason for that. Vitamin C is a game changer, and she will def be saying “told you so” once you’re done reading this and ordering any and every product containing it.

And, it’s not only limited to fruit and veggies, skincare brands worldwide use this miracle ingredient in their products to give you that extra antioxidant surge and now, we’ve infused it into some of our bestselling makeup products too!

How Does It Work

Vitamin C or ascorbic acid is a water soluble nutrient and is proven to have a wide range of applications thanks to its antioxidant, anti-aging (and so many more!) properties.

For skincare junkies the vitamin is used to diminish wrinkles, even out skin tone, reduce dark or acne related spots, brighten complexion and provides a great base for protecting against harm UV rays too. Basically, it is something you need to get on!

Hyperpigmentation, or the annoying acne scars and sun spots that won’t budge - you know what we’re talking about, well, Vitamin C’s amazing antioxidant properties inhibit the production of this and help in combating all unwanted spots, even before they appear!

Plus, the ingredient is proven to help your skin retain moisture, keeping it plump and smooth and preventing the dry and dullness that comes with it. Instead, it helps to improve skin elasticity which means less wrinkles. We’re sold.
