2. Smooths and softens: Whether taken internally or used topically, vitamin C will boost production of collagen, the skin’s ‘building block’, making skin firmer and plumper and helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Healthy collagen also improves skin texture, easing roughness and making it soft and silky to the touch. 3. Improves hydration: Topical vitamin C improves the retention of moisture in skin cells by improving skin barrier function and reducing transepidermal water loss. 4. Defends against stressors: Daily application of a topical serum containing vitamin C provides a physical barrier to support and protect skin from external environmental damage, including excess sunlight, air and water pollution, cold dry winds, and smoke. 5. Eases redness: Vitamin C acts as an inti-inflammatory in the body, which means it neutralises the free radicals which cause oxidative damage and boosts immune activity to dampen any inflammatory response to infection. Used topically, it will ease irritation, soreness and swelling caused by a variety of inflammatory skin conditions, including acne, thread veins and eczema, and help to encourage a clearer, smoother skin tone.
