Questions and answers

What does acerola do for the skin?

Acerola is a natural source of vitamin C, which helps reduce pigmentation, improve skin hydration and elasticity, and support tissue repair in photoaged skin. Studies show that topical vitamin C may significantly improve overall clinical scores and skin microrelief density.
