Glowing skin may be something most of us aspire to, but it’s probably not top of mind right now. We can’t really change what’s going on around us, but, we do have control over how we spend our time. Here at Apothekari, we’re taking time to learn new things, catch up on our reading & engage in some self-care, including taking better care of our skin. These are things we definitely won’t regret when we’re allowed to emerge back into society again!
In this post, we’re diving into how Vitamin C, found in our Bespoke Vitamin C serum, helps to deliver youthful and glowing skin.

Fade Dark Spots For Glowing Skin
A powerhouse skincare ingredient, Vitamin C interrupts the process that leads to the formation of melanin, which is responsible for skin discoloration like dark spots. Incorporating it into your skincare routine on a regular basis can help to prevent them from forming in the first place AND help to fade them, without altering your skin’s normal coloring.
Exfoliate for the Glow
In addition to helping prevent dark spots from forming in the first place, L-ascorbic acid, the form of Vitamin C found in our Bespoke Vitamin C Serum, can also help to remove them. L-ascorbic acid is a mild exfoliant and works to lift away the discolored dead cells that sit on our skin’s surface. The result? Clearer, more evenly toned and glowing skin, in as little as a few days.
Free Radical Damage Control
Vitamin C belongs to a class of ingredients known as antioxidants, compounds that help to protect skin from harm caused by free radicals. Daily exposure from things like the sun, pollution and smoke, all trigger the formation of free radicals, unstable molecules that can damage skin cells leaving it looking dull and lifeless – the opposite of glowing skin!

Glowing Skin & More!
Vitamin C also stimulates collagen production, helping to keep skin looking firmer; is anti-inflammatory, helping to even out the redness associated with rosacea and it can also help skin to heal faster.
We use L-ascorbic acid in our Bespoke Vitamin C Serum because it’s the form of Vitamin C with the most research to back up its skin benefits. It’s combined with other antioxidants, including ferulic acid and vitamin e, which increase its ability to protect against sun damage.
Apply it every morning under your sunscreen and get ready for beautiful, healthy and glowing skin!
