Vitamin C is great with promoting radiance. Its acidic nature helps to slough off dead skin cells gently, which in turn brings younger looking skin to the surface. On a cellular level, it promotes the production of collagen, which lifts skin, making it appear firmer and tighter. Who doesn't want that? Photo: Getty

On days where your skin requires a pick-me-up, AHAs will be there to save the day. It removes surface dead skin cells throughout the day, revealing baby soft skin that light would gladly bounce off, giving you the radiance that you desire. Some examples include glycolic acid and lactic acid. Again, don't forget your sunscreen! Photo: Getty

Retinol, a form of vitamin A that's abundant in orange/yellow coloured fruits, are great for promoting enhanced cell turnover. Skin-clogging dead skin cells will shake off upon usage. In the long run, skin will be decongested, skin tone will even out, and early signs of ageing like fine lines will dissipate. Best used at night before bed, as this compound is sensitive to light. Because skin is thinner by the next day, don't forget to leave your house with sunscreen (as you already shouldn't)! Photo: Getty
