Let’s start from the beginning.

WHAT'S VITAMIN C?

FRESHLY FACTS:  Why vitamin C

• Ingredient:  Antioxidant, Ascorbic acid.
• Benefits: Protects against free radicals, promotes a radiant complexion, reduces expression lines. 
• Who should use it:  Not recommended for hypersensitive skin
• When/ how often should we use it: Recommended every other day. 
• Don’t use with: Benzoyl peroxide, Retinol, AHAs/BHAs, Niacinamide.

Why should you be using vitamin C? 

• Promotes collagen production: When applied consistently, vitamin C encourages collagen production resulting in a plump and glowy complexion. The extra boost of collagen helps dull skin that has lost its elasticity and can help slow down skin ageing.

• Revitalises sun-damaged skin: Compatible with sun exposure, unlike other actives such as AHA or BHA, vitamin C can be used together with your sunscreen. We recommend adding it to your morning routine, layered with an +30/50 SPF.

• Lightens sun spots: Do you have dark sun/ acne/ age spots? No problem, vitamin C interferes with the production of pigment in the skin, fading dark spots (improvements can be seen in just 3 weeks of consistent use).

• Fights expression lines and wrinkles: Vitamin C aids in skin renewal, so when applied consistently, the active improves skin elasticity resulting in the reduction of expression lines. 

• Protects against environmental stressors: Air pollution causes skin damage and favours skin ageing. Vitamin C protects your skin from the free radicals we are exposed to constantly: pollution, UV radiation etc. Stop the premature skin ageing process with this powerful antioxidant. 

• Evens out tone and minimises redness: Vitamin C has been proven to be the perfect warrior against skin redness. It helps to repair damaged capillaries that cause discolouration. Providing an even tone. 

• Hydrates thirsty skin: Perfect for skin that needs a boost of moisture. Dull skin or extremely dry complexion will absolutely adore vitamin C. It also helps skin retain water, so it prevents super dry or extremely oily skin. 

Convinced? We recommend you incorporate our Vitamin C Concentrate serum into your daily skincare routine, a hearty warrior against free radicals & dull skin. 

A note:

To preserve your Vitamin C Concentrate serum store it in a dark place where it won’t be exposed to the sun. If you want to improve your vitamin C intake, we’d also recommend acerola, which will help you boost your vitamin C levels.
