Raw honey works incredibly well because not only is it natural, but it has anti-bacterial properties that works just as great and probably better than any lab-made cream in the market. I Highly recommend honey facial masks.
Can vitamin c brighten up your complection. Or make your face look healthier?

Umm..it's not mostly vitamin c, a lot of vitamin A helps improve the look of hair, skin and nails. In addition, a healthy diet, lots of water and the right products. Perhaps you should talk to a dermatologist.

Vitamin C helps build collagen, which is what makes skin firm. I squeeze an orange and use that as a toner every once in a while. Oranges also lightly exfoliates the skin.
Hope this helps!!!!

Vitamin C is helpful for your immune system, and keeps you from getting scurvy.
For skin improvement, you'd do better with Vitamin E.

Not sure if it will make your complexion brighter or make your face look healthier, but, it will make the company that sells the vitamins a whole lot richer!
