Vitamin C also plays an important role in the collagen synthesis. Collagen gives our skin support and structure and as it degrades with age, we begin to notice wrinkles and lines. Vitamin C is a necessary cofactor for building collagen bundles, without which this process halts.
Vitamin C is also helpful in lightening unwanted brown spots and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or decreasing brown discolouration by blocking the pathway of pigment.
