What’s so great about Vitamin C?

This powerhouse antioxidant does so much more than just brighten your complexion. Vitamin C helps protect your skin from environmental damage, reduces inflammation, and stimulates collagen production. In other words, it’s one of the most effective ingredients for anti-ageing and achieving a healthy glow.

Ascorbic acid, the active form of Vitamin C, works to neutralise free radicals and protect skin cells – helping to prevent excess inflammation caused by environmental stressors like UV radiation and pollution.

So, how does vitamin C boost collagen and brighten skin?

Vitamin C helps your skin make collagen, the protein that gives skin its firmness and elasticity and, more collagen means fewer fine lines and wrinkles! Vitamin C also keeps your collagen strong and healthy, as it inhibits glycation, a process that is known to break down collagen.

Vitamin C also shields your skin from pollution and free radicals. These environmental aggressors break down collagen and elastin, damage skin cells, and cause premature ageing. Vitamin C neutralises free radicals and protects your skin, preventing signs of ageing before they start.

The result?

DNA protection, pollutant protection and a bright, luminous complexion – win win, right?

“If you’re looking to boost your skincare routine with a powerhouse ingredient, Vitamin C should be at the top of your list.”

– Claire Williams, WOW facial CEO, Founder
