BENEFITS OF VITAMIN C

Complexion CorrectiON
Vitamin C helps fade dark spots and hyperpigmentation by limiting the enzymes that contribute to excess melanin production. Vitamin C can also help brighten the skin, making way for an even, radiant complexion.

Many prefer to apply Vitamin C in the morning for sunscreen support and environmental protection.
