THE BENEFITS
VITAMIN C - glow-giving Vitamin C improves your skin collagen and helps fight free radicals. The result? Plump, healthier skin cells.
ANTIOXIDANTS - fight free radicals to keep your skin cells healthy and strong. In everyday life, our bodies generate free radicals that wreak havoc with your skin by weakening skin cells and slowing their ability to heal and repair. Antioxidants are an important part of dealing with problem skin, as healthy skin heals faster.
