Vitamin C

Vitamin C is the most researched brightening active in skincare — it inhibits the enzyme that produces melanin while providing antioxidant protection against the UV damage that causes further darkening. lelive's vitamin C range pairs stable vitamin C with turmeric, an anti-inflammatory African botanical, specifically to interrupt the post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation cycle on melanin-rich skin.

Frequently asked questions

Initial brightening is often visible within 2–4 weeks. Meaningful improvement in dark spots takes 6–8 weeks of consistent daily use. Firmness benefits take 3–6 months.

Vitamin C inhibits the enzyme that produces melanin, which fades dark spots and evens skin tone. It also provides antioxidant protection against UV and pollution damage, and supports collagen production for firmness.

It has oxidised. Vitamin C degrades when exposed to light and air, and an oxidised serum has lost most of its effectiveness. Store it in a cool, dark place and choose products in opaque or dark packaging.
