Vitamin C
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) provides remarkable tissue rejuvenating and regenerating properties that help to prevent premature skin aging. It possesses properties required for the bio-synthesis of collagen, thus improving skin tone, firmness and elasticity. It has the ability to reduce the brown pigment, melanin, to a colorless substance, inhibiting the formation of freckles, age (liver) spots and possibly pre-cancerous lesions such as melanomas. As an antioxidant, it neutralizes free radicals caused by sun exposure and other environmental insults, protecting against UV damage and speeding the healing process after exposure.
