Vitamin C is considered to be one of the best ingredients when it comes to pro-ageing support - and the key to maintaining a smooth, even and glowy complexion. Although you probably consume vitamin C in your diet, there's no way of guaranteeing that it goes directly into your skin.
Using serums and other topical products is the most direct way to get these benefits. The La Roche-Posay Pure Vitamin C 10 Serum is one of the best on the market, and it has just been reduced from £45 to £36 at Boots - this is cheaper than getting it from LookFantastic (£45).
Formulated with pure vitamin C, it works to smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while hyaluronic acid help to plump the skin with moisture. It also contains salicylic acid to gently exfoliate away dead skin for a brighter, more uniform tone and texture.

To prep your skin beforehand, you can use it alongside the La Roche-Posay Soothing Toning Lotion, currently on offer at £12 at Boots. The serum has a 4.2 rating out of 388 reviews.
A very satisfied shopper wrote: "On first use my skin appeared more even and soft, I can really feel the exfoliation and turn over of cells and this is most prominent in the clarity of my pores. I have noticed visible benefits to my fine lines, including my neck and eyes, and my partner of 14 years has complemented my skin by saying it is the best it has ever looked."

"Works well on my acne prone skin, it reduces fine lines and wrinkles and I have also seen a reduction in the amount of acne that I usually have," another added, while a third penned: " It has done wonders for my skin, the fine lines around my skin eyes look reduced and my skin feels hydrated. Also a great base for makeup, it's non greasy and easily absorbs."
Although a great product overall according to the reviews, some customers weren't as impressed with the results: "I've been using this and the niacinamide twice everyday for three months and they haven’t made a single difference to reduce the hyperpigmentation from my face. I will use for another month as I have another bottle but I haven’t seen a difference."
