SKIN BENEFITS
L-ascorbic acid has the most scientific research of any form of vitamin C when it comes to skin benefits. It is a potent antioxidant and skin-soothing ingredient that can improve the appearance of signs of ageing.
Ascorbic acid is also a powerhouse when mixed with other antioxidants (especially Ferulic + Vit E) or when used alone in higher concentrations (e.g.15%- 20%). The ingredients within this serum address dark spots, uneven skin tone, wrinkles, loss of firmness, and dullness. When used together, these potent antioxidants will help you achieve a radiant, smooth, even, younger-looking complexion.
