All things Vitamin C

Vitamin C or more formally known as L-ascorbic acid (C6H8O6), is a water-soluble vitamin essential in the development and repair of body tissues. Incorporating vitamin C into your skincare regime can help to even out your skin tone, reduce the appearance of under-eye circles, promotes collagen production and protects against free radical damage. Here is everything Vitamin C you need to know!

Besties: Vitamin C works great in combination with the following products: Vitamin E, Ferulic Acid and Hyaluronic Acid

Enemies: However, Retinol, Niacinamide, AHAs and BHAs such as glycolic, salicylic and lactic acids should never be used with Vitamin C; Vitamin C is an acid, too, and is unstable, so the pH balance will be thrown off by layering other acidic ingredients together and might as well be useless.


Star Sign Compatibility: A taurus is typically relaxed and peaceful, they feel most content when pampered and vitamin C can help them feel exactly that

How to Use: Vitamin C is an antioxidant. Recommended use is 1-2 times daily. You should apply vitamin C in the following order: cleanse, tone, apply vitamin C serum, moisturize.
