Vitamin C is a glow-boosting powerhouse that helps brighten, smooth, and even your skin tone. It supports collagen to improve firmness and reduce the look of fine lines, leaving skin soft and radiant. This stabilized form of Vitamin C stays active longer, so every drop works harder to fade dark spots and restore a healthy glow. It also helps defend against pollution and daily stressors that dull your complexion. The result is clearer, fresher, more balanced skin that looks awake and full of life.
