The Vitamins
Vitamin C
Ascorbic acid is a powerhouse when mixed with other antioxidants, or when used alone in higher concentrations such as 20% which have been shown to significantly even out pigmentation and complexion. Vitamin C is a prickly ingredient, and its potency can be lost if not encapsulated in the product formulation. Vitamin C stimulates collagen production to improve the signs of ageing. Skin fibroblasts have an absolute dependence on vitamin C for the synthesis of collagen, and for the regulation of the collagen and elastin.
