Vitamin C is naturally derived.

This ingredient can be used day and night but is best used as part of your morning routine.
What skin type is it best suited to?
Vitamin C is suitable for all skin types.
What does it work well with?
Vitamin C works well with our Super Grains Extract when trying to achieve a more even skin tone.
What else do I need to know?
Vitamin C can become unstable when exposed to sunlight, water and air, causing it to become yellowish in colour and reducing its effectiveness. Q+A uses a special encapsulation using Volcanic Soil to create a barrier and keep it highly stable and beneficial to the skin.
