Vitamin C is the most abundant antioxidant within our skin.
It has many benefits when applied topically in skincare, brightening, stimulating collagen and elastin production, aiding in wound healing, evening tone, reducing fine lines and wrinkles and protecting against environmental aggressors. L-ascorbic acid is the purest and most potent form of vitamin C used in skincare, other forms include ascorbyl glucoside, sodium ascorbyl phosphate, ascorbyl palmitate and tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate.
