Before we get into, let's just recap...

What is Vitamin C and Why Does My Skin Need It?

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant, that is an essential skin nutrient with multiple benefits for elevating overall skin health:

- A collagen booster, therefore helps firm and plump the skin

- Brightens skin complexion and help diminish hyperpigmentation

- Protects against environmental damage from UV, pollution and lifestyle stress

- Helps minimise the appearance of fine lines & wrinkles

- An anti-ageing prevenative treatment

There are various types of Vitamin C including L-Ascorbic Acid, Pure Vitamin C, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Tetrahexlydecyl Ascorbate, and Vitamin C with bioflavonoids... but we all just want to know which Vitamin C we should be using for our skin's needs.
