That's why it's become an absolute staple and daily must-have in our organic skin care routine.

Here's the skin-loving vitamin C enriched facial serums we've been loving in 2021.

Vitamin C Skin Benefits

In clean beauty, vitamin C is known as a powerful brightening and anti-ageing ingredient – able to both help correct existing damage on mature skin types and prevent premature ageing. With its rich concentration of antioxidants, vitamin C is known for its ability to help target signs of ageing and environmental damage such as hyperpigmentation, sun spots and uneven skin tone by reducing their appearance and stimulating skin cell renewal.
