Road Test 

Vitamin C is essential to good health and a healthy body, as it’s needed for the growth and repair of tissues in all parts of your body, and it helps to block damage caused by ageing free radicals. And when it comes to skin care, vitamin C is the ultimate illuminator; it gives your complexion a healthy glow, while also coming with additional perks which include reducing redness and pigmentation, and boosting collagen production. Over the years skin care brands have woken up to the importance of vitamin C as a key ingredient in products and serums, and the trending anti-ageing brand, ESK, is one, adding two vitamin C serums to it’s lineup of must-have skin savers. ESK, which is short for Evidence Skincare, was created and developed by the husband and wife team, Daniel Rubinstein and Dr Ginni Mansberg. The products in their impressive range are formulated on evidence-based science and without marketing hype, using active ingredients in the forms, concentrations and formulations supported by peer review evidence. They are also formulated without harmful chemicals, preservatives, perfumes or animal testing, and are designed to suit a variety of skin types, as well as help reverse skin damage and slow the ageing process. The second of its two vitamin C skin savers is C Serum Lite, which is a powerful anti-oxidant serum designed for people with oiler skin or living in more humid climates. Like its sister product, Reverse C Serum, the formula contains a powerful 10 per cent vitamin C in the form of L-ascorbic acid which helps to repair and prevent the appearance fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation and skin roughness while also hydrating the skin. But the key to C Serum Lite working better for oiler skins, or to be better suited to people living in more humid climates, is that it contains a finer oil base; the serum still melts into the skin quickly and easily, but leaves no residue. Using this vitamin C serum is also easy; all you do is apply a one or two pumps to the face and neck in the morning after cleansing. The product feels great on the skin, and leaves it feeling soft, smooth, clear and glowing.
