Looking to add a touch of radiance to your skincare routine? These vitamin C skincare products might just be the ingredient you need.
Renowned for its brightening and complexion-evening properties, vitamin C has become a staple in skincare products. Vitamin C is an antioxidant, which means that it helps to fight harmful free radicals like pollution and other unavoidable stressors, that come in contact with your skin every day. Some vitamin C products can be a little potent, so it’s important to build a robust skincare routine that includes sun protection to keep your complexion glowing.
Whether you’re targeting dark spots, dullness, or the visible signs of ageing, these 5 vitamin C-infused products are a brilliant way to revitalise your skincare routine.
Dermalogica Biolumin C Eye Serum
If you’re someone who wakes up to tired-looking eyes, despite getting your 8 hours of sleep, then Dermalogica’s Biolumin C Eye Serum might be what you need. This powerful serum is crafted to brighten the delicate skin around the eyes and leave them looking fresh. Infused with vitamin C, this serum works to minimise the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and dark circles around the eyes. You don’t need to apply too much of the product, so just a pea-sized amount gently massaged in will do the trick.
