What is Vitamin C?

Vitamin C is a highly powered and supercharged vitamin with antioxidant properties! One of its MAGIC superpowers is fighting and neutralising free radicals like UV rays and pollution that can wreak havoc on our skin by preventing (or at least reducing) the cell damage they can cause.

Put simply, the use of Vitamin C in skincare will help to keep both your body and skin cells healthy!

Tilbury Tip: Don’t forget that you can also get an extra dose of Vitamin C through your diet! This MAGIC antioxidant can be found in foods like tomatoes, oranges, strawberries, peppers, broccoli and potatoes.
