What is Vitamin C:

• Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant drug that can be used topically in dermatology to treat and prevent changes associated with photo-ageing. It can also be used for the treatment of hyper-pigmentation. 
• Vitamin C, the most plentiful antioxidant in human skin, forms a part of the complex group of enzymes and non-enzymatic antioxidants that co-exist to protect the skin from reactive oxygen species. As Vitamin C is water soluble, it functions in the aqueous compartments of the cell. When the skin is exposed to UV light, Reactive Oxygen species such as the superoxide ion, peroxide and singlet oxygen are generated. Vitamin C protects the skin from oxidative stress by sequentially donating electrons to neutralize the free radicals.
• Essentially This means it protects your skin against free radicals — molecules in the environment that cause damage, leading to signs of ageing like wrinkles and dark spots. In other words, this vitamin is an anti-aging powerhouse.
