Vitamin A and Vitamin C are 2 powerhouse active ingredients that your skin will thank you for.
If you are looking to simplify your skincare routine but still want to target a multitude of skin concerns from fine lines to pigmentation , acne to Rosacea.
Vitamin C and Vitamin A are 2 ingredients you NEED to prioritise.
These skin loving actives are clinically backed and widely trusted in professional skin care for their ability to improve skin health, texture and appearance over time.
So why is this Duo such a winner?
Vitamin C
Your daily Brightening defender
Think pf Vitamin C as your skin's daily dose of protection and glow.
This antioxidant works hard every day to defend your skin against environmental stressors like pollution and UV damage which accelerate ageing and dulls the complexion. UVA rays are responsible for 80% of the skins ageing!
How does it help?
Brightens dull skin and evens out tone.
Fades pigmentation and post inflammatory marks
Boosts collagen production for firmer skin and reduced lines
Calms inflammation making it ideal for rosacea prone and sensitive skins
Choose a stable medical grade formulation to ensure it penetrates deeply enough to do it's job.
I recommend using it in the morning under SPF , to boost protection and radiance throughout the day.
Vitamin A
The Gold standard in skin renewal.
Vitamin A is more commonly known as Retinol and is a member of the Retinoid family.
It is renowned for it's ability to stimulate cell turnover. This means it encourages your skin to renew itself more quickly and effectively.
How does it help?
Smooths out fine lines and wrinkles as it stimulates Collagen, elastin and the body's own natural moisturisers.
Improves acne by preventing clogged pores.
Fades pigmentation and melasma.
Strengthens skin structure, improving firmness and texture.
Reduces redness and inflammation, supporting Rosacea and sensitive skin recovery when used carefully and introduced gently
Especially powerful for ageing skin, thinning and reactive skin that needs barrier support.
Start slowly ( a few nights a week).
Always use it at night.
Must be paired with SPF in the day as Vitamin A increases the skin's sensitivity to the sun.
With consistency and the right strenthg, it can completley transform your skin over time.
Can you use Both Together/
Absolutely yes.
Vitamin C in the morning and Vitamin A at night.
