Vitamin C

Antioxidant & Brightener • L-Ascorbic Acid

Core Benefits

  • Shields against pure pollution
  • Fades dark brown hyperpigmentation
  • Supercharges sunscreen protection

What exactly is it?

L-Ascorbic Acid (pure Vitamin C) is the most potent and proven topical antioxidant in skincare. It furiously fights free radicals -unstable molecules from UV rays and pollution that rip apart our skin’s collagen and cause early degradation.

How it helps Teen Skin

While teenagers do not need anti-aging, Vitamin C is legendary at rapidly destroying dark spots left behind by teenage acne (PIH). It stops the biological chemical reaction that creates melanin in the skin dead in its tracks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did my Vitamin C turn orange/brown?

Pure Ascorbic Acid is highly unstable. When exposed to oxygen and light, it oxidizes and ruins the formula. This usually happens within 3-4 months. Once brown, it is useless and should be trashed.

Can I use Vitamin C in the same routine as Salicylic Acid?

It is generally not recommended for beginners. Vitamin C requires a very low pH to work, and mixing it directly with strong BHAs can severely fry the skin barrier.
