Vitamin C
Ascorbic acid or Vitamin C is a skin brightening powerhouse and one of the most researched, science-backed ingredients in skin care. As well as impressive skin brightening, it is a potent antioxidant. It is required for your skin to make collagen, itself a structural protein that supports skin, keeping it smooth and firm. Vitamin C boosts the production of skin lipids that are so essential for maintaining moisture levels, suppleness and for strengthening the barrier.
