Applied directly to the skin, vitamin C boosts collagen production, enhancing elasticity and reducing the look of fine lines and wrinkles. It also helps brighten the complexion by blocking melanin production, making it effective for diminishing hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and acne scars. With its anti-inflammatory properties, vitamin C can also soothe redness and irritation. In essence, vitamin C serum enhances skin texture, tone, and radiance, making it a valuable addition to anti-aging and skincare routines.
