• Dull, uneven complexion

As a cosmetic ingredient, vitamin C is recognised for the following properties:

• Ascorbic acid or Vitamin C helps combat visible signs of ageing and signs of photoageing: wrinkles; brown spots; dull, uneven complexion; loss of firmness.

• A powerful antioxidant, vitamin C plays an important role in combatting oxidative stress and free radicals, which are responsible for skin ageing and are generally caused by exposure to the sun, pollution, and tobacco.

• As an anti-ageing agent, it boosts the synthesis of collagen, one of the main components of the skin's support tissue, whose synthesis diminishes with age. As a result, vitamin C can combat sagging skin.
