L-Ascorbic Acid
Vitamin C, also called ascorbic acid, is essential for maintaining a youthful and vibrant appearance.
Vitamin C is used by our bodies to form collagen, the protein that provides support to our skin. Vitamin C has also been shown to play a pertinent role in the absorption of iron and calcium by the body.
The road to younger-looking skin can also start with vitamin C because it reduces the appearance of wrinkles, minimizes the dryness of skin, and promotes an overall, healthier aesthetic. Vitamin C plays a vital role in the development and maintenance of collagen within the skin.
Additionally, studies show that vitamin C plays a substantive role as an antioxidant. Great for imparting anti-aging benefits, vitamin C helps protect the skin from damaging free-radicals and promotes the production of collagen. By supporting collagen synthesis, vitamin C proves to be fundamental in upholding the skin’s matrix to yield a youthful and taught aesthetic.
