Your Expert Guide to Vitamin C
Learn more about this powerhouse ingredient for brighter, more luminous skin.
What is Vitamin C?
Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant known for its brightening properties and ability to support collagen production. Found naturally in various fruits and vegetables, this powerhouse ingredient helps protect skin from environmental stressors while promoting a radiant, even complexion.
The Benefits of Vitamin C
Vitamin C is a multitasking ingredient that brightens, evens skin tone and helps defend against environmental stressors. By supporting collagen production and neutralising free radicals, it promotes a smoother, more radiant complexion.
Collagen Boosting
Fibroblasts in the skin’s dermal layer produce collagen, guided by signals from our DNA. Vitamin C stimulates this process by encouraging DNA to send the right signals, helping to thicken the dermis for firmer, plumper skin.
How to use Vitamin C
To maximise free radical defence, Vitamin C should be a daily essential in your morning ritual. #2 The Vitality Collection transcends traditional Vitamin C by combining it with Vitamins A and E. A low dose of Vitamin A boosts antioxidant defence and enhances the benefits of other vitamins for healthier skin.
Vitamin C is powerful when paired with Vitamin E, a lipid-rich antioxidant that defends against skin-damaging free radicals. Even better—Vitamin C helps regenerate Vitamin E, extending its protective benefits.
For strong, resilient skin, start with #2 The Serum. If your skin is compromised, begin with #2 The Light Crème. Experiencing oily skin? #2 The Hydragel is your best match. For an extra brightening boost, use #2 The Mask once weekly.
Find Your Vitamin C Formulation
#2 The Vitality Collection offers a formulation for every skin type, featuring various complexes of Vitamin C in advanced delivery systems.
Water-based formulations, such as hydragels, are best suited for oily skin, while water-and-oil-based options, like serums or light creams, are ideal for combination skin. For dry skin, oil-based formulations, such as creams, provide optimal nourishment.
