There's a laundry list of reasons Vitamin C is good for your complexion. Here are some: 1. It fades and prevents spots Vitamin C can aid in the skin's ability to heal itself, so it should be your go-to when looking to reduce any unwanted red and brown spots on your face. That, plus its incredible anti-inflammatory properties, will give you the even skin tone you never thought was within reach. 2. Vitamin C boosts collagen Vitamin C is one of the factors in stabilizing and creating collagen molecules, meaning it's one of the more reliable anti-aging ingredients on the market. Research also shows that it can increase the quality of collagen in your body, which will make your skin smoother and bouncier than ever. 3. It defends against free radicals Vitamin C is an antioxidant, which is really good news for those with sun damage. Vitamin C can donate electrons in order to neutralize free radicals created in skin after sun damage. So while vitamin C can't protect skin like sunscreen can, it can minimize the damage you can't see.Let's talk vitamin C serums.

"Applying a vitamin C serum topically to the skin can essentially keep your skin from turning brown … as well as make your skin look brighter, fresher, with a youthful glow." InstaNatural's Vitamin C Serum is a standout among serums because of the ingredients vitamin C is paired with.
