Vitamin C is what we get from eating citrus fruits such as oranges and lemons.Also known as ascorbic acid ,it is a powerful antioxidant that helps to promote the health of our immune system. Vitamin C supports the healing, growth and repair of body tissues and is also necessary in the production of collagen, which helps create new skin,thereby reducing the signs of aging.The antioxidant properties of vitamin C help in skin regeneration and protects the skin from free radical damage as it heals.
Vitamin C serums are highly concentrated distillations of the vitamin.Some other ingredients such as salicylic acid, hydraulic acid ,tea tree and retinol are added to the serums to make them more effective in treating acne.Since Serums are highly concentrated its recommended that you use a drop or two to avoid damaging your skin.
