What Are the Benefits of Vitamin C?

One of the most well-known functions of vitamin C is its antioxidant properties. It helps protect cells from damage caused by free radicals, which are highly reactive molecules that can harm cells and damage the skin by trying to take an extra electron from atoms in the skin.

Free radicals are one of the main causes of skin ageing and can accelerate wrinkles, pigmentation, sagging, and dryness. Antioxidants like vitamin C help neutralise free radicals and reduce oxidative stress.

Vitamin C For Skin

Vitamin C is commonly used in skincare products for its ability to brighten the skin, reduce the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation, and protect against UV free-radical damagefor firmer, more youthful-looking skin.
