How Vitamin C can slow ageing and even repair damaged skin

Brighten your complexion with this vitality-boosting Vitamin C serum. We love its creamy texture, a refreshing change from the typical oily serums. This serum is your closest ally against menopausal and mature skin fluctuations because it's powered by skin-plumping hyaluronic acid, collagen, and Vitamin C.

Apply it before your moisturiser for fine-line-fading hydration. This serum promotes a smooth, even skin tone, perfect for those prone to pigmentation. Plus, it has bakuchi oil, which is amazing for anti-ageing antioxidant support.

The Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base is a best-seller for a reason. Beauty enthusiasts have been addicted to it since it launched over two decades ago. This multivitamin cream is a must-have for women who wear makeup daily. In a market flooded with products claiming to fix every flaw, nothing beats the tried-and-true effectiveness of this classic.

If you haven't tried it yet, you might wonder what makes it so popular. Beyond its luxuriously smooth texture, this product serves as both a moisturiser and primer, creating the perfect base for flawless makeup application.

This cream, packed with vitamins B, C, and E, is great for keeping skin healthy.

If, like us, you often stare into the mirror wondering why you look so tired, then this may be your new best friend. This face mask by Tired Faace has been hailed by skincare lovers online, and we are currently excitedly waiting to test it ourselves.

This lightweight gel mask is perfect for daily or weekly use to transform tired skin into a glossy, glowing complexion—even on those nights when you feel like you have barely slept.

With key active ingredients, such as caffeine, vegetable glycerine, Vitamin C, lactic acid, aloe vera, frankincense, pomegranate, and rosehip, this mask keeps your skin looking plump and springy.

Online reviews say this mask is the perfect way to start your morning due to the zesty, fresh, and upbeat aromatherapy blend.

The high concentration of Vitamin C (23 per cent) helps reverse signs of ageing and boosts natural radiance. At the same time, the Hyaluronic Acid plumps your skin with moisture, promoting a smoother, more youthful appearance.

We wouldn't recommend this for people who have sensitive skin, as it may be a little too strong. We always suggest doing a patch test on a small area of your face the first time you use a new product—but especially for this as it has high concentrations.

The Ordinary is known for its straightforward approach to skincare. We love this brand because it clearly lists active ingredients and their concentrations, making it much easier to make an informed choice about what we put on our skin.

We have all woken up after one too many wines looking a little worse for wear, and on those days, it's good to have a powerful product in our skincare arsenal to make us look refreshed. The Vitamin C Paste is applied like a face mask, and a little really goes a long way. Simply put it on your face, lips, and neck, and a few minutes later, wash it off with a warm face towel.

When you aren't feeling your best, this quick bit of self-care can make a big difference in just a couple of minutes. We were initially apprehensive about this product, thinking it might be too good to be true, but we were absolutely delighted by the results. It's quick and easy to use, leaving your face feeling and looking noticeably fresher. We particularly enjoyed the jasmine extract scent, which lingered pleasantly long after application.

It's really good to give your skin an intense treatment once a month. Going to the beauty salon is lovely but can quickly become very costly. If you are looking to give your skin some TLC, then this seven-day treatment by Clarins is fabulous (especially for mature women). And whilst it takes a little commitment (it must be applied every night and day for seven days), it's well worth it for some amazing results.

This seven-day treatment blends a potent 15 per cent Vitamin C complex with a serum enriched with superfruits. Acerola extract, a natural source of Vitamin C, helps even out skin tone and boost collagen production, while rose-myrtle extract enhances skin’s radiance by improving cellular function.

The key to a great moisturiser is finding one that refreshes and hydrates your skin without leaving a greasy feel. This gel moisturiser by Byroe New York does just that. Its smooth texture absorbs quickly, leaving your skin feeling light and rejuvenated. Online customers love how lightweight it is, and many have noticed visible improvements in their skin after just a few uses.

This moisturiser is perfect for combination skin. It provides gentle yet effective hydration, targeting and soothing dry areas on the face without overwhelming oily zones.

This Vitamin C serum is an excellent choice if you have sensitive, mature skin. It's perfect for women over 70 who need a gentle yet effective skincare solution. Packed with 99.7% natural ingredients, including Vitamin C, this serum quickly absorbs into the skin, providing intense hydration.

We noticed immediate benefits, as it gave our skin a burst of moisture. While it does have a slightly earthy smell due to its natural ingredients, this is a small price to pay for a product that genuinely helps repair the skin.

We also love that this serum is safe for the whole family as it works for all skin types, genders, and ages from 14 and up.

This face cream combines two powerful skincare ingredients: Vitamin C and AHA. Vitamin C brightens the skin, evens out skin tone, and reduces hyperpigmentation, while AHAs gently exfoliate and remove dead skin cells. This exfoliation allows Vitamin C to penetrate more deeply and work more effectively on improving skin texture and overall appearance.

The Skin Health Alliance, a dermatologist-approved organisation, confirms that this cream effectively reduces sun-induced dark spots and hyperpigmentation. We love its refreshing citrus scent and the way it leaves your skin feeling hydrated without the heaviness of a thick cream.

The Anara beauty range truly impressed us with its premium-quality ingredients that deliver noticeable results from the first use. Our top picks are the Radiance Moisturiser and the Replenishing Face Oil.

Anara Skincare's Radiance Moisturiser stands out in the market. From its stunning packaging to the rich consistency of the cream, it exudes luxury. It even includes a handy spoon for easy application. This moisturiser hydrates and protects the skin with hyaluronic acid, while Bakuchiol and Vitamin C-rich Saffron and Camu Camu Fruit Extracts help firm, smooth, and even out skin tone.

The Replenishing Face Oil is lightweight yet deeply nourishing. We love how it feels on our face and neck, making it the perfect finishing touch to our skincare routine. What sets this product apart is its unique blend of plant oils, including Sweet Almond, Crambe Abyssinica, Pomegranate, Papaya, and Watermelon. These oils are packed with powerful antioxidants, fatty acids, and vitamins (A, B6, and C) that leave the skin feeling rejuvenated and radiant.
