WHAT IS VITAMIN C?

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that neutralizes the effects of free radicals. Free radicals manifest themselves in the form of sunlight, pollution, stress, smoking, etc. - all this damages the cell's DNA, which in turn causes premature aging, cancer.

PROPERTIES OF VITAMIN C

Due to its antioxidant properties, vitamin C carries out skin regeneration processes that help the skin restore damaged cells. Also, vitamin C reduces the damage caused by UV rays on the skin.

Vitamin C is an acidic substance, therefore, when applied to the skin, the skin begins to heal itself by producing collagen and elastin. Both collagen and elastin help maintain skin softness and firmness, preventing premature skin aging.

Vitamin C inhibits the production of melanin, thus reducing the formation of pigmentation spots. Also, the whitening properties of vitamin C help to reduce existing pigmentation spots.

WHAT ELSE SHOULD YOU KNOW ABOUT VITAMIN C IN BEAUTY PRODUCTS?

Although vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant by itself, its effectiveness can be increased by combining it with other antioxidants, such as vitamin E. Thus, the result will be faster, more effective and more durable.

It is important to know that vitamin C products should not be exposed to light. The packaging must be dark, otherwise the vitamin C will start to break down.

Vitamin C is a powerful substance, so its use should be incorporated into daily rituals slowly. We recommend starting with creams a couple of evenings a week and after time switch to serums or combine serums with creams.
