Vitamin C is an all-star ingredient not only when it comes to nutrition but in skin care as well. In fact, it’s so good that it got its own holiday. That’s right, April 4th is annually recognized as National Vitamin C Day to appreciate the benefits of this powerhouse ingredient for overall health and beauty.

When it comes to skin care, the benefits of vitamin C are boundless. In addition to being known as the gold standard in brightening, vitamin C is known to help with the appearance of hyperpigmentation, boost collagen production and have antioxidant properties. In a 2024 Allure* interview, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Patricia Wexler explained, “Because of its antioxidant properties, vitamin C aids in your skin’s natural regeneration process, which helps your body repair damaged skin cells.”

At Avon, we’ve long been impressed by the power of vitamin C, which is why we offer a juicy range of high-performance, vitamin C-infused formulas that are worth adding to your skin care routine.

• Don’t leave the cap open for too long.
• Don’t store it in direct sunlight.
• Make sure you read the label and follow the usage instructions to help preserve the product’s potency. 

So, if it’s a sunny glow you’re after, any of our hand-picked vitamin-C-packed products is a bright idea. Your skin will be as radiant as your personality. Now get glowing!
