The power of science

Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, named for its ability to help prevent scurvy, (a serious disease) is found naturally in the body and comes primarily from fruits and vegetables (mainly citrus fruit and broccoli…). It is known for its fatigue-fighting benefits, but that's not all. It is also essential for growth, good bone health, strong teeth and healthy skin!

Skincare benefits of Vitamin c derivative

In cosmetics, vitamin C is well loved by those with dull skin due to its ability to help promote radiance and even skin tone (visibly reducing the appearance of dark spots) by limiting an overproduction of melanin. However, in a pure state, it is unstable and breaks down quickly when exposed to light or heat. To help guarantee its performance in our formulas, Clarins Laboratories uses a stabilised derivative of vitamin C.
