There are several skincare benefits of vitamin C serum, ranging from reducing fine lines and wrinkles to providing bright and clear skin. Vitamin C serum helps:

• Stimulate collagen production to repair fine lines and wrinkles and inhibit melanin formation.

• Prevents ageing and hyperpigmentation.
• Improve hydration and moisture levels of the skin. 
• Soften dark spots and help even and brighten the skin tone.
• Treating inflammatory skin conditions.

Vitamin C serum is the homemade solution you have been looking for to naturally improve your skin and get that much wanted glow, hydration and tightness. This serum has a short shelf life because vitamin C may oxidize, so remember to use it within two weeks of making the batch. So, don’t wait any longer and make your own vitamin C serum for healthier and brighter skin.
