Collagen is one of the main building blocks of your skin and hair. It’s what helps keep skin firm, plump, and youthful Vitamin C plays a key role in collagen production by converting proline, an amino acid, into compounds that build collagen, while also supporting the enzymes needed for the process. Our skin naturally contains high levels of Vitamin C in both the dermis and epidermis, where it acts as a powerful antioxidant that helps with dryness and signs of aging. As we get older, both collagen and Vitamin C levels naturally decrease. This can impact skin’s firmness, hydration, and overall glow.
