Ingredient spotlight: vitamin C
Share
Vitamin C is one of the most popular ingredients in skincare, and for good reason. Here's what it does and how to use it.
What it does
Vitamin C is an antioxidant. It helps defend skin against everyday environmental stressors and supports a brighter, more even-looking complexion.
When to use it
Mornings are ideal. Apply a few drops after cleansing, then follow with moisturiser and a broad-spectrum SPF 50+. Vitamin C and sunscreen work well together as part of your daily defence.
Tips
- Start with a small amount and see how your skin responds.
- Keep the lid on tight and store it away from heat and sunlight.
- If you've just had a treatment, check with us before using it.
