It’s the anti-ageing essential,’ confirms Dr Lewinn’s skin specialist Kerrie Moore.
‘Vitamin C has been found to boost collagen production, even-out skin tone, help reduce pigmentation and age spots, and improve overall skin radiance.
‘Apply it during the day to help protect the skin from damaging free radicals (which can breakdown collagen and encourage wrinkles and sagging), and at night to boost the repair process, which is when our skin does its best work.’
