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.
Clinique’s Fresh Pressed Daily Booster With Pure Vitamin C 10%
Just like your morning, fresh-pressed juice helps you stay healthy on the inside, Clinique’s Fresh Pressed Daily Booster With Pure Vitamin C 10% has been designed as a daily supplement to rejuvenate skin, and as a simple, seamless way to reinvigorate your de-ageing routine without changing a thing. Add a few drops to your morning moisturiser, and watch your skin glow. It’s worth noting that this product contains Pure vitamin C which naturally degrades when exposed to oxygen. To keep it at its freshest, only open each capsule as needed, and avoid leaving the cap off.

Dermalogica Biolumin-C Serum
Give your daily skincare routine a big boost of vitamin C with the Biolumin-C Serum from Dermalogica.

Dispense a full dropper into your hands and smooth over cleansed face and neck morning and night, after toning and before moisturising.
Ultraceuticals Ultra C Firming Serum
Say hello to radiant, firm skin with the Ultraceuticals C Firming Serum. This potent formulation contains vitamin C blended with Ellagi-C to boost the product’s efficacy, along with two powerful peptides, MicroElastin® & MicroCollagen, to protect from daily environmental stressors. As this serum is a little stronger than others, we suggest applying this serum once a day on alternate days, gradually building up to daily use.
