This is such an exciting product, particularly as it has the ability to revive dead Vitamin C and make it effective again. I am not sure I have really read anything about that before, and considering that oxidization is the biggest negative when it comes to Vitamin C products, I homed straight in on that! I need to find out more about this area! It is SO interesting!

I love this brand’s anti-oxidant serums and if you’re not sure how to fit them into your routine I’d suggest mixing a drop or two into  your serums or moisturisers to boost their antioxdant protection power. It will turn an average cream into a product that will help defend your skin from the environment.
