What is vitamin D and its skin benefits?
Vitamin D (also known as the "sunshine vitamin" is a fat-soluble vitamin that's important for your health and is mainly absorbed through your gut and skin - that's why vitamin D-packed skincare* is super beneficial. It can help protect against skin damage, reduce puffiness, calm inflammation, improve skin turnover, and minimise fine lines & wrinkles!

2. Can help with dry skin
