Vitamin C: Brightening, Explained

Vitamin C is the morning antioxidant that defends against daily damage and gradually brightens dull, uneven skin.

Vitamin C is an antioxidant: it neutralises free radicals from pollution and UV that would otherwise dull the skin and accelerate ageing.

What to expect

With consistent use, tone looks more even and skin looks brighter and healthier. It's a long game — think weeks, not days.

How to use it

  • Use in the morning, under moisturiser and SPF, for daytime protection.
  • A brightening serum is the simplest format to start with.
  • Store it away from heat and light to keep it effective.
