Skincare's anti-oxidant and brightening superhero.
When it comes to trending ingredients vitamin C in skincare is certainly the ingredient of the moment, and for good reason. Known as the brightening superhero, vitamin C has been used in natural skincare for many years as an antioxidant. Revered for its ability to fight free radicals which break down collagen and elastin, aiding in water retention for skin hydration, and protecting against and reversing UV damage.
When it comes to incorporating vitamin C in skincare natural formulations are best and all ages will find vitamin C benefits for skin as both a preventative and protecting ingredient.
As a powerful antioxidant, vitamin C in skincare works to neutralise the impact of environmental stressors on the skin while boosting the production of collagen in the skin cells. Vitamin C benefits for skin include firmer and more toned looking skin which attributes to a more youthful appearance.
It is worth noting that not all natural formulations are created equal. As an ingredient, Vitamin C in skincare can be difficult to stabilise, oxidizing easily in liquid form. Look for a product that has been created with the purest natural sources of vitamin C, carefully curated by master formulators that use science-based knowledge to bring the finest and most potent raw ingredients together.

Hyperpigmentation is the name skin experts give the patches of skin that become darker than the surrounding skin. Hyperpigmentation occurs when the skin produces more melanin, the pigment that gives skin its colour.
Hyperpigmentation is mainly caused by UV exposure and exacerbated when skin is sunburnt and exposed to the sun for extended periods without adequate SPF.
Hormones are another and somewhat difficult to prevent cause of pigmentation. Melasma is hyperpigmentation caused by hormonal sensitivity to sun exposure, often seen in pregnant women, those on birth control, or women undergoing hormone replacement therapy.
Typically hyperpigmentation has been treated with synthetic and aggressive steroid creams or lasers that are costly and somewhat painful. For those seeking a better remedy the good news is that a natural alternative is a real and viable option.
For treating and preventing pigmentation, in one word – antioxidants. Vitamin C in skincare is one of the most effective ways to deliver anti-oxidants to the skin.
A morning and nightly dose of antioxidant rich Vitamin C benefits the skin by helping to fade and prevent pigmentation. Commit to your routine and improvements will be seen in around eight to twelve weeks, along with better skin luminosity, tone and texture, and you might even see a reduction in fine lines. The results will continue to improve with time and last provided you continue to protect your skin with SPF.
