Not all Vitamin C is made equal ...
You need vitamin C for the growth and repair of collagen in your body. It heals wounds and is a fantastic anti-oxidant. (Like Vitamin E and other plant-based nutrients). Topical applications of highly concentrated Vitamin C prevent premature skin aging and lightens skin by signalling your melanocytes to stop producing melanin.
But did you know that not all topical Vitamin C is made equal? It's important to be able to distinguish between real vitamin C and the "fake" stuff. Ensure the Vitamin C is in an airtight dark bottle. Vitamin C will oxidize over time, so it's best to keep it in a dark bottle so light cannot shine through. Check the type of Vitamin C. Ascorbic acid the the most concentrated form of Vitamin C. It penetrates better into the dermis and epidermis. Vivier's C+E Serum is a skin health must! Experience the difference between drug store products and let your skin decide.
