After a certain age, skin tends to lose some of its youthful radiance. Throw in the juggling effects of work, family and trying to look fabulous (well, we try don’t we?) and it will start to show.  

Right now, my skincare routine includes “La Roche Posay’s Active C. Packed with 5% active Vitamin C, it’s just what I need to inject some much needed glow back to my skin after a long winter.  

In addition to strengthening collagen fibers, topical Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant (so it’s fighting free radicals associated with UV radiation). It also reduces water loss from the skin, something that my dry cheeks are appreciating. At this concentration, Vitamin C can reduce hyperpigmentation and brighten skin getting me ready for summer. There’s also a specific formulation for eyes - Active C Eyes - if your eye area is a bit lacking in lustre.  

When to apply Active C?

It can be used day or night under your moisturizer or sunscreen to give it an additional boost of protection.
