Certainly, the beneficial wonder has come a long way since your morning glass of OJ. It’s a potent antioxidant that fights dehydration, uneven skin tone, fine lines, wrinkles and inflammation. It also visibly brightens your complexion and supports collagen production. The upshot: If vitamin C is not already part of your skincare routine, you should consider it.

This daily protective treatment was specifically designed to target your most-asked-about skin concerns, including pigmentation, dark spots and dullness. This antioxidant-rich, high-potency and never-sticky serum sinks into the skin to provide supreme brightening, anti-ageing and skin-protecting benefits, thanks to a powerhouse blend of ingredients: 15 percent L-ascorbic acid (the highest possible concentration of stabilised vitamin C), ferulic acid (vitamin C’s perfect partner to fight fine lines, wrinkles and dark spots), liquorice root extract (to visibly reduce dark spots and pigmentation) and vitamin E (a naturally occurring ingredient of healthy skin).
Editor’s note: because this is a high-powered formula, MECCA COSMETICA opted to forgo adding fragrance to the formula. However, you may notice that it has a distinct scent. This is from the combination of potent 15 percent vitamin C and ferulic acid that work to give you brighter skin.
