Along with Vitamin A, Vitamin C is one of the ingredients that constitute what I would regard as part of the ‘holy grail’ of ingredients that effectively protect your skin against ageing.
Vitamin C is one of the most powerful antioxidants in skin care. It helps slow down the ageing process by preventing free radical damage. Long-term topical use has been clinically shown to regenerate collagen and improve the appearance of wrinkles. Vitamin C also lightens pigmentation and brightens over all skin tone. Therefore, it is used in a lot of anti-aging and skin lightening products.
However, not all vitamin C prodcuts are created equal! Many skin care brands claim that their products contain vitamin C, however there are many different types of vitamin C and the doses between products also differ.
We stock two products that will give your skin a huge vitamin C boost –
1. CosMedix’s Pure C – a stable vitamin c mixing powder – you add it to your moisturiser to provide a vitamin C boost.
2. NEW in TODAY is Aspect’s Extreme C, a vitamin C serum which together with Vitamin C contains age-fighting amino peptides.
