The Holy Grail of Skincare Products - Vitamin C! 

Vitamin C AKA Ascorbic acid is your new best friend, use it and reap the benefits. Vitamin C is "a potent antioxidant that can neutralize free radicals," explains certified dermatologist Patricia Wexler, "Because of its antioxidant properties, vitamin C aids in your skin's natural regeneration process, which helps your body repair damaged skin cells." Vitamin C is a key ingredient everyone should be using, it keeps the skin from sagging, protects and promotes our precious collagen production which is imperative to maintain skin elasticity, Vitamin C serum also smooths out the surface of the skin, helping to minimize and diminish fine lines, acne-scars, darks spots, rough patches, brightens and uneven skin tone, leaving the skin appearing and feeling more radiant, healthy and illuminated. 

Vitamin C is also super-rich in anti-oxidants, it is packed with various skin-healing properties due to its high acidity levels, when used correctly the combination of Vitamin C and collagen aids the skin to self-heal, making it a product that should be permanent in your bathroom cabinet all year round.
