Why vitamin C is so beneficial for skin

As we age factors in our daily life’s such as sun exposure, environment, pollutants and food we intake can generate something called free radicals.

Free radicals are unstable molecules that can damage our skin cells and cause premature aging, hyper pigmentation and loss of elasticity in our skin.

As amazing as our bodies may function, we unfortunately cannot create antioxidants internally, but there is a solution.

Vitamin C serums at Jeune Skin Care

At Jeune Skin Care we offer several formulations of vitamin C serums to target specific skin types and skin concerns. When used daily this topical antioxidant serum is the gold standard for prevention and protection from free radicals.

SkinCeuticals founding scientist Dr. Sheldon Pennell created the first patented formulation for topical vitamin C (also known as antioxidants). This patented formula ensures absorption of the antioxidants and delivers advanced environmental protection, which leads to visible results.
