- It is a powerful antioxidant , vitamin C neutralizes free radicals that cause oxidative stress in the skin and cause premature aging. Oxidative stress occurs when there is an imbalance in our cells due to an increase in free radicals and / or a decrease in antioxidants. Over time, this imbalance in the balance between free radicals and antioxidants can damage our tissues. It brings dull, tired-looking skin with it, and vitamin C gives you the boost you need to stay young and fresh.
- It is essential for the production of collagen , responsible for the density and firmness of the skin in the skin cells, it helps to maintain the structure of the skin and provide elasticity and firmness.

- It also has depigmenting activity thanks to its inhibitory action on tyrosinase and its ability to block the formation of melanin.
