Vitamin C helps us with our immunity and protects us against cardiovascular disease and eye problems. It is essential in cell regeneration and helps with healing wounds and in maintaining the integrity of our skin.
Vitamin C is also a potent antioxidant, some say it is a super antioxidant and is vital for protecting us against the damage caused by free radicals, such as pollutants in the air and in our diet and also from the sun.
As an antioxidant, vitamin C is a very popular ingredient in many skin care products, particularly in anti-aging treatments. A clinical strength of approximately 20% vitamin C solution is the best strength for maximum absorption via the skin.
