Everything You Need To Know About Vitamin C Serum

Why is vitamin C so important for our complexions?
“Firstly, it helps to rebuild new collagen which means firmer skin with optimised elasticity. It strengthens the skin's capillaries which facilitates greater oxygenation in the skin, and more nutrients flow. It’s also anti-inflammatory – in essence very soothing in its benefits. And let’s not forget it’s a very effective antioxidant that helps get rid of free radicals that damage skin. Finally, it helps to fade dark spots.”

How can we add vitamin C into our daily routine?
“Our products containing vitamin C can be used during both daytime and nighttime. The Banana Bright™ Vitamin C Serum is an example of a serum for day and night, with 15% vitamin C, 5% of Poly Hydroxy Acids to resurface and smoothen your skin, and those banana powder-inspired mineral pigments that will illuminate your skin and make it look like sunshine all day long and at night when you sleep.”

“You can pair it with C-Rush™ Brightening Gel Crème which is extremely lightweight and comfortable on the skin (and never greasy).”

Any tips for choosing a good quality vitamin C product?
“We expertly design our formulas by choosing the right type of vitamin C for a specific product delivery system. All our vitamin C raw materials are inspected and must pass high-quality standards.”

“Whether you’re new to vitamin C or an avid user, always assess your skin’s needs and how you’d like to incorporate it into your routine. We recommend using vitamin C daily (AM and/or PM) to see a noticeable difference. In the morning to help defend against environmental aggressors, and at night to help condition the skin without the interference of other factors.” 

Is there anyone who shouldn’t be using topical vitamin C?
“Our products contain Vitamin C that is carefully formulated to be safe for everyday use. Whether your skin type is normal, oily, combination or dry, we recommend performing a patch test on a small area. When adding this powerhouse ingredient to your skincare routine, it can provide a wide range of benefits to keep your skin youthful, glowing and fresh.”

Are there any products to avoid using alongside vitamin C?
“Everyone’s skin and routines are different. We always recommend patch testing when layering new ingredients and/or products to your skincare routine.”

How can we prevent our vitamin C products from oxidising?
“Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant, especially at higher concentrations. We recommend using it consistently daily to maximise its benefits while the product is at its freshest!”
