Ascorbic acid or vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin with powerful antioxidant and antiradical action.
Vitamin C acts as an enzyme cofactor involved in physiological reactions such as hydroxylation. It is also involved in the synthesis of collagen and connective tissue showing a clear preventive activity to skin aging. Due to its antitirosinase activity, it also inhibits the effect of melanogenesis, preventing the formation of melasma on the skin. Ascorbic acid plays a role in iron metabolism in the conversion of dopamine to norepinephrine and carnitine biosynthesis.
