What is Vitamin C, and why does it matter in skincare?

Vitamin C – also known as ascorbic acid – is a powerful antioxidant found naturally in fruit and vegetables, especially citrus fruits like oranges, lemons, and grapefruits. While your body uses it for everything from immune support to cell repair, your skin benefits massively when it’s applied topically.
 
And here’s the catch: your body can’t store Vitamin C, so giving your skin a daily dose via skincare is one of the best ways to maintain its radiance and resilience.

In skincare, Vitamin C works to brighten dull skin, even out tone, smooth texture, and – perhaps most impressively – defend against the damaging effects of pollution, UV rays, and other environmental stressors. Think of it as your skin’s daily insurance policy.

So where does skincare Vitamin C come from?

In topical products, Vitamin C is usually derived from natural sources or carefully stabilised in lab-formulated versions to ensure it stays potent and effective. At BioBalance, we’re focused on using the right form of Vitamin C in each product – keeping it gentle, balanced, and suitable for everyday use.
 
Whether it’s a serum that delivers a brightening boost or a Vitamin C cleanser that starts your day with a fresh, energised feel, every formula is designed to deliver results you can see and feel.
 

If your skin’s feeling a bit dull or tired – or you’re noticing dark spots, uneven tone, or a general lack of glow – Vitamin C can be a game-changer. It helps boost collagen production, lighten pigmentation, and smooth fine lines over time. Plus, its antioxidant power protects your skin from daily stressors before they cause visible damage.
 
And the glow? That speaks for itself.
