Vitamin C is an excellent ingredient in skincare for many reasons, especially for skin with signs of ageing, like pigmentation spots. Vitamin C has been found to help boost collagen production and firm the skin. It’s also a potent antioxidant that plays an important role in combating dark spots and hyperpigmentation of the skin. 

This is how vitamin C targets pigmentation

Pigmentation is caused by an increased production of melanin. Vitamin C helps to inhibit the enzyme tyrosinase, which helps to prevent that increasing of melanin production [1]. It also significantly lightens pigmentation, but does not lighten normal skin. Our La Vitamine C Powder consists of a pure and effective form of vitamin C; ascorbic acid. In order for vitamin C to be effective against hyperpigmentation, you need a minimum concentration of 5% [1]. Our vitamin C powder consists of only vitamin C and ferulic acid, and is specifically formulated to use at a percentage of 15% safely and effectively. This way, not only pigmentation will be tackled, but the powder is also powerful enough to boost collagen production.
