Ingredient detail
Ingredient context
Vitamin C's role here is the most textbook of any ingredient in the range: it is an essential cofactor for the two enzymes, prolyl and lysyl hydroxylase, that stabilise the collagen triple helix, which means collagen synthesis is mechanically dependent on adequate Vitamin C status rather than merely assisted by it.
Evidence context
It is also a well-established tyrosinase inhibitor, giving it a dual role in both structural skin health and pigmentation evenness.
Evidence
Named source, study type, strength, and limitations.
Suitability
Clear cautions and clinician guidance where required.
