Vitamin C-Rich Foods

5 Vitamin C-Rich Foods You Should Eat Every Day to Reverse Hyperpigmentation

Green Tea

Green Tea is an excellent source of vitamin C and flavonoids, both of which reverse hyperpigmentation by fighting skin inflammation and regulating melanin production.

Berries

Berries, including blackberries, strawberries, and blueberries, are loaded with Vitamin K and Folic acids. They are also packed with vitamin C, which has antioxidant effects. This means they can protect against free radical damage that causes hyperpigmentation.

Lemon

Like berries, lemons are rich in vitamin C, a vitamin best known for its ability to elbow out skin-related conditions like acne and hyperpigmentation.

Papaya

Papaya is high in magnesium, calcium, and potassium. It also contains a decent amount of vitamin C that hinders the growth of free radicals, preventing hyperpigmentation.

Tomatoes

Tomatoes contain vitamin A which promotes the growth of new skin cells and tissue. It is also packed with vitamin C and antioxidants, including beta-carotene and lycopene, that neutralize free radicals, reversing hyperpigmentation.
