What is vitamin C?
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant and fights free radicals that damage and age the skin. Vitamin C in our diet is important, but on our skin, it's at least as beneficial. In recent years, this ingredient has received rave reviews and has been praised for its numerous skin benefits. Beauty gurus are particularly enthusiastic about its anti-aging properties. This versatile ingredient is only active at high concentrations and must be stored properly.
Vitamin C doesn't tolerate oxygen and light well and should therefore be stored in a dark place for optimal effect. Use this ingredient only in the morning before sunbathing and preferably in combination with sunscreen. This ingredient absorbs more UV rays, which can accelerate photoaging.
