Vitamin C is one of the most effective ingredients and well known for its capacities. Especially in recent years, more and more people justifiably include it in their routines. That’s why today we’re going to talk about everything we need to know about this miraculous ingredient and discover why it is important to include it in our routine.
What exactly can it offer to our skin?
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant, which can protect our skin from various external factors such as solar radiation and pollution. It is a recommended ingredient for all ages, since it can effectively help in the prevention and the treatment of issues such as sunburn, photoaging, hyperpigmentation, acne, sagging skin – wrinkles, dryness and dullness. It is also very important that it promotes collagen production, which is the No1 “ingredient” for firm and shiny skin. It’s good to know that our body naturally produces vitamin C but as we grow older the ability to do so decreases.
What you should watch out for?
As in the case of retinol which we mentioned in the previous article, same with vitamin C, we need to include it slowly and steadily in our routine, so that our skin accepts it more harmoniously. This is true for the commercial products you will find in the market that contain synthetic or chemical ingredients. Our products are much gentler on the skin, due to the fact that they contain vitamin C in its natural form, along with various other nutrients – which are derived from plants and herbs, without the need for any industrial processing.
Start by including the product that contains vitamin C in your routine for about two to three times a week and once you see that your skin accepts it, you can gradually increase its use, using it every day and then even in both morning and night.
*If you use retinoid products, vitamin C will help protect your skin, as retinoids make the skin more susceptible to the sun. Vitamin C creates a protective shield to prevent the negative effects of sunlight and all that it entails.
It’s also very important to check the vitamin C content of the product you choose, as high vitamin C content can be “harsh” to your skin, especially if you’re incorporating it into your routine for the first time. Again, when it comes to our own products, there is no such “risk” because of the natural form of the ingredient and the balance of herbs and nutrients contained in them.
Its natural form, as an active ingredient, will be both the mildest for your skin and the safest way to try it. Many of our products contain it in its natural, active form and more specifically our Glow Line range is our suggestion for today, so discover the awesome properties of vitamin C for your skin.
Specifically, the Glow Spray which you can start your routine after washing your face, contains chamomile that has antispasmodic capacities that help fight fine lines coming from excessive muscle contraction.

Next, the Glow Cream is a rich firming cream that deeply hydrates the skin, stimulates collagen production and balances the skin’s pH.
