Why vitamin C is the gold standard for anti-aging

Just as a well-balanced diet includes vitamins, so should a well-balanced skin care routine, especially if the goal is to look younger. Skin care products offer everything from vitamin A to D, but the gold standard in the fight against aging is undoubtedly vitamin C, also known as l-ascorbic acid. This powerful antioxidant is highly regarded in the dermatological world for its ability to combat the signs of free radical damage and premature signs of skin aging - read: fine lines, wrinkles, dull tone and uneven texture. While you can find it in creams and serums, if you really want to see results, we recommend making it a little more intense.
