Lately, there are so many beneficial ingredients immersed in our skincare formulas, so we thought we’d take you through one of our favourites, Vitamin C.
Let’s discuss its benefits and where to find it in our BrandAlley beauty line-up.
The Benefits of Vitamin C
As well as being found in your favourite veggies, Vitamin C is also present in a number of skincare goodies. Why, you ask? Because it’s as beneficial for your skin as it is for your health!
As Vitamin C is an antioxidant, it will help to fight harmful toxins on the skin’s surface. These toxins are known as “free radicals”, and can cause premature aging of the skin, as well as a loss of elasticity and harm to the skin’s natural moisture barrier. Vitamin C can help to reduce this damage by boosting the skin’s collagen production, resulting in a complexion that’s plump, hydrated and generally more youthful looking.
Our favourite Vitamin C superpower, however, is its ability to create a natural, makeup-free glow. Using a Vitamin C cleanser or serum will help to brighten the skin, lightening hyperpigmentation and dark circles and spots. So, put down the brightening powder, and let your natural skin shine!

Feel like indulging in the power of Vitamin C? We’ve got you covered. BrandAlley holds a whole range of products that will leave skin radiant, hydrated and ready for the summer season.
Perricone MD
Designed to deliver a smoother, brighter complexion (and instantly, too!), the Vitamin C Ester Brightening Serum from Perricone MD is enriched with – you guessed it – Vitamin C Ester. Unlike traditional Vitamin C, Vitamin C Ester is fat-soluble, thus absorbing easily into the skin to achieve maximum glowy benefits.
