Vitamin C

Vitamin C is having a major moment is skincare right now. A powerful antioxidant, it protects skin from free radicals. This makes it great to apply in the morning, especially if you plan on being outside. It inhibits melanin production which helps to fade age or sun spots and boost overall skin brightness. When paired with Ferulic Acid, it’s been shown to be even more efficacious. It’s highly senstaive to oxidation though so you do want to make sure your getting it in a packaging that protects it from air exposure. Some even suggest storing it in your fridge to preserve shelf life. The two I’ve been trying are Sunday Riley CEO and Kiehls. If you’re wanting to try a budget friendly option, go with the Timeless version.
