The 10 Best Vitamin C Products to Brighten Your Complexion & Erase Dark Marks
Prep your summer skin with this potent antioxidant.
Summer is around the corner which means less is more. Less clothing means more of your skin will be on display for the world to see. Following a dry winter, your face and body may need a skincare pick-me-up in the form of vitamin C. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that works to brighten the complexion, boost collagen production and even plump the skin. It can be found in a variety of cleansers, serums, moisturizers and soaps that claim to help with dark spots and acne. To give you a head start on the summer glow, we’ve curated the ultimate Vitamin C shopping list from our favorite brands like Ole Henriksen and Glossier. Including vitamin C in your morning or night beauty routine is essential to keep your skin vibrant and wrinkle-free. The top pick from the bunch is Peter Thomas Roth‘s Potent-C Targeted Spot Brightener. Its formula is packed with a concentration of 10-percent vitamin C which works quickly to reduce discoloration after 12 weeks of use.
