Vitamin C and hyaluronic acid are two of the quintessential rejuvenating ingredients, according to experts. Cosmetic active ingredients that have been on everyone’s lips for years for their incredible skin benefits. Do you know what they all do? Vitamin C stands out as an anti-aging all-rounder, a wonderful antioxidant that activates collagen and skin regeneration. There are many myths about it such as that it causes sensitivity or that it can only be used during the day. That’s why we’re going to show you what the real benefits are.
