Vitamin C

Vitamin C, also known as L-ascorbic acid, is essential for the body to function properly. It is found in citrus fruits, spinach, peppers and strawberries.

Vitamin C is highly prized in cosmetics for its antioxidant action. In fact, it acts as a free-radical trap to limit the chain reaction of oxidative stress, responsible for skin ageing.
By reinforcing the skin's defense mechanisms, it enables it to defend itself on a daily basis against aggression.
Its antioxidant virtues make it a powerful anti-aging agent, all the more so as it stimulates collagen production, reinforcing the skin's structure.

Finally, vitamin C regulates melanin production, reducing the spots caused by overly prolonged exposure to the sun. Applied topically, vitamin C brings uniformity and radiance to the complexion.
