All About Vitamins


Vitamin A: The anti-ager

Why we need it: In beauty circles, vitamin A (retinol) is known as the gold standard in anti-ageing. It works to stimulate cell renewal and refine fine lines and wrinkles, as well as improve the elasticity and overall skin health.

Need to know: Retinol can make your skin sun sensitive, so use at night only, and protect your skin during the day with sunscreen. It’s not uncommon for it to cause irritation in high doses so if you’re concerned, introduce it slowly (every other night) to build up your skin’s tolerance.

Vitamin B: The beautifier

Why we need it: Vitamin B and its derivatives such as vitamin B3 (niacinamide) and pro vitamin B5 (panthenol), help to boost collagen, improve pigmentation, hydrate skin, boost immunity to UV and generally promote healthy skin. It’s also known to reduce redness in those who suffer from rosacea and acne.

Need to know: Vitamin B is well-tolerated by all skin types and can be used alongside your other vitamin serums morning and/or night.

Vitamin C: The brightener
Why we need it: As well as being a powerful antioxidant to neutralise free radicals, we need vitamin C to help produce collagen in our skin. And there’s nothing like this glow-getter to restore radiance, luminosity and a more even skin tone.

Need to know: Because the antioxidant properties will help protect your skin during the day, vitamin C serums are ideal to massage over clean skin in the morning, before your moisturiser and sunscreen.
