Vitamin C is the star skincare ingredient that could transform your skin.

BEST FOR PIGMENTATION

BEST FOR PIGMENTATION

No7 Dark Spot Correcting Booster Serum * Boots exclusive (15ml). Targeting pigmentation requires action on both fronts. This serum, with sophora (a plant used in Chinese medicine), emblica (a type of gooseberry) and vitamin C, aims to reduce the appearance of pigmentation. Apply it to troublesome areas, morning and evening, after cleansing.

BEST FOR LINES AND WRINKLES

BEST FOR LINES AND WRINKLES

Elizabeth Arden Skin Illuminating Brightening Day Serum *, (30ml). Vitamin C does a great job in supporting the skin’s natural collagen production. But when it’s combined with niacinamide – a form of vitamin B3 (as in this serum) – it goes one step further. Together, these vitamins bolster the skin’s collagen and elastin to firm and smooth skin over time.

BEST FOR FIRMING AND LIFTING

BEST FOR FIRMING AND LIFTING

Vichy LiftActiv Vitamin C Brightening Corrector, (10ml). This serum is ideal for anyone who has noticed decreased definition around the jawline; it combines 15% pure vitamin C with hyaluronic acid and maritime pine extract (a type of medicinal bark) to help promote collagen and elastin production.

BEST FOR BLEMISH-PRONE SKIN

BEST FOR BLEMISH-PRONE SKIN

New La Roche-Posay Pure Vitamin C10 Serum, (30ml). This daily serum combines vitamin C with salicylic acid to gently exfoliate skin and keep pores clear of bacteria.

BEST FOR UNDER EYES

BEST FOR UNDER EYES

Garnier Moisture Bomb Eye Tissue Mask (1-pack). Vitamin C and hyaluronic acid brighten under-eye areas and plump up skin. Pop the mask in the fridge before use for an extra-cooling effect.
