Uneven tone, dark spots, and dullness often come from sun exposure or post-acne marks. Vitamin C helps by limiting excess melanin, the pigment that causes discoloration. A stable vitamin C formula used daily can brighten skin, smooth patchiness, and even out tone when paired with sunscreen.
Vitamin C is an antioxidant that neutralises free radicals linked to pigmentation and inflammation. It also blocks tyrosinase, the enzyme that drives melanin production. Together these actions fade spots and help prevent new ones. It also supports collagen, which improves skin texture and firmness.
Apply vitamin C after cleansing and before sunscreen in the morning. Always use SPF 30 or higher to maintain brightness and prevent new pigmentation.
Clean, plant-based vitamin C skincare is widely available in India. Choose vegan, paraben-free, sulphate-free formulas in opaque packaging to protect potency. Below are options from Lotus Botanicals:
