C your way to radiant skin

Grace Sweeney

When it comes to skincare, a vitamin C serum is a must. It is highly acidic and when incorporated into your skincare routine, it boosts your skin’s production of collagen. The collagen then smooths out the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, leaving you with a youthful look.

A vitamin C serum contains a high concentration of the ingredient known as ascorbic acid, giving it the ability to brighten your skin and put a stop to dullness and discolouration.

Vitamin C even inhibits melanin production lessening dark spots of hyperpigmentation, evening out your skin tone and adding brightness to your complexion.

As we move into autumn, your skin may become dull and dehydrated. This is because the cooler temperatures of the autumn season cause our capillaries to tighten, resulting in dullness. This is when a vitamin C serum will become your best friend!

Our skin is spoilt for choice regarding vitamin C serums with so many brands offering serums. The La Roche-Posay 10% Pure Vitamin C Face Serum can be bought on lookfantastic.com for €45.

For a glowy finish, try the Glossier Super Glow Face Serum. This serum is cruelty-free and costs €32 on tglossier.com.

The Revision Skincare C+ Correcting Complex is a dermatologist favourite, however a bit pricier costing €164.88 on revisionskincare.com.
