Vitamin C is a great product for almost all skin types. It is an anti-oxidant and has a lot of effects. Anti-oxidants reduce free radicals, which can lead to aging such as wrinkles and sun damage. Vitamin C stimulates collagen synthesis, improving laxity, reduces inflammation, suppresses pigmentation, retains moisture, enhances sun protection, and replenishes vitamin E. The active form is L-ascorbic acid. It is found in a number of foods including artichokes, asparagus, avocado, broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, corn, cucumbers, green peppers, lima beans, mushrooms, onions, peas, potatoes, spinach, squash, and sweet potatoes. A lot of these ingredients are used in facial treatments. Other anti-oxidants include coffee berry, kojic acid, and green tea; but these do not have all of the effects as vitamin C.
