Vitamin C for Skin: Benefits, Uses & How to Apply

What is vitamin C in skincare?

Vitamin C is a powerhouse antioxidant that brightens dull skin, helps fade dark spots, and helps defend against daily free-radical damage from pollution and sun exposure. Floreva pairs 10% vitamin C with ferulic acid and vitamin E for stability and performance in our Vitamin C 10% + Ferulic Acid Serum.

What does it do for your skin?

• Brightens a dull, tired complexion
• Helps fade dark spots by limiting tyrosinase, the enzyme that drives excess pigment
• Neutralises free radicals from sun and pollution
• Supports a firmer, more radiant look over time

How to use it

Use 3 to 4 drops in the morning on clean skin, before moisturiser and SPF. Vitamin C works alongside your sunscreen: antioxidant support underneath, UV protection on top.

Common questions

Should I use vitamin C in the morning or at night?

Morning is ideal, so its antioxidant protection works through the day alongside your sunscreen.

Does vitamin C fade dark spots?

Used consistently, it helps brighten and fade pigmentation over several weeks. Pair it with daily SPF for best results.

Is 10% vitamin C enough?

Yes. 10% sits in the clinically effective range for vitamin C. What matters as much as the number is formulation: a low pH and antioxidant partners like ferulic acid and vitamin E keep it stable and able to absorb. Ours has both.
