Tried & Tested: 3 vitamin C products that give healthy glow
You can count on these formulas for that glow from within.
By now, you probably have already heard about the charms of vitamin C and how it is essential for a wholesome AM routine.
A right amount of vitamin C goes a long way in our skincare routine. Just like how it contributes to the body’s immunity and the repairing of tissues, vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant, shields the skin from environmental aggressors that weaken the skin barrier.
It also gives your skin’s collagen and elastin production a boost to further encourage firm and bouncy skin. And for someone who’s looking to get rid of uneven skin tone and hyperpigmentation, vitamin C never disappoints.
