Sally Foran: How to pick the right Vitamin C to get your glow on

Not all vitamin C is created equal, says Beauty Editor Sally Foran

Here’s a selection of our favourite vitamin C containing products, to help you choose the right one for you.

If, like the February weather, your skin is looking dull and lacklustre, vitamin C is the skincare ingredient you should be adding to your routine. It treats hyperpigmentation, lines and wrinkles; protects against free radicals; brightens and improves skin tone; helps protect against age spots; boosts collagen formation; reduces collagen loss; and supercharges your SPF. It works best in the morning as its antioxidant properties help protect your skin from the damaging effects of free radicals.

Not all vitamin C is created equal, however, and not all forms suit everyone. Here’s a selection of our favourites, to help you choose the right one for you.
