Why we recommend
Prevention is always better than cure, and that is exactly how a potent vitamin C serum like this one works – stopping signs of premature ageing, such as fine lines, before they appear. If some damage is already done – don’t fret though. The formula will also brighten your complexion over time and with the addition of peptides, it keeps your skin plump and firm, by boosting your natural collagen production.

Antioxidant-rich ingredients (of which vitamin C is a hero) are important in skincare because your skin is constantly exposed to potential aggressors, such as pollution, UV light, and even stress, during your day to day life. All of these aggressors trigger oxidative stress, which leads to the production of free radicals – unstable little molecules that break down collagen and speed up ageing. Antioxidants are your defence against them before they cause damage.
This serum isn’t just powered by antioxidant-rich vitamin C either. It also contains peptides – another trending, hero ingredient for anti-ageing. These ingredients work as signalling molecules, as the building blocks of amino acids, which trigger your skin to boost its natural collagen and elastin production, supplementing what has been lost to age and environmental aggressors.
HOW TO USE IT
Apply a thin layer of serum to the entire face in the morning after cleansing.
Warning: For external use only. If irritation occurs, discontinue use. Avoid contact with eyes. Keep out of reach of children.

What are the benefits of vitamin C in skincare?
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps fend off free radical damage caused by UV, pollution, and general life stress. It also improves your skin tone and texture, by brightening dull complexions, fading pigmentation and sun spots, and boosting collagen production – which means firmer, plumper, more even-looking skin over time.
Can vitamin C boost your SPF?
Vitamin C is not a substitute for sunscreen, but it can be your SPF’s biggest supporter. It doesn’t block UV rays, but by helping neutralise the free radicals UV exposure creates, it can help boost your protection against sun damage, including collagen breakdown, dark spots and accelerated ageing. That makes SPF and vitamin C one of the smartest skincare pairings out there.
How to best use and store a vitamin C serum?
You can keep it straightforward. Simply, apply your vitamin C serum in the morning, after cleansing and before moisturiser and sunscreen. That way, it goes on clean skin and can get straight to work protecting against the day’s stressors.
Just remember to store it somewhere cool and out of direct light – vitamin C can oxidise (become unstable when exposed to oxygen) and it lose its punch if it’s not looked after.
