Vitamin C, Niacinamide & Peptides: A Simple Guide to Skincare Actives

Vitamin C, niacinamide and peptides appear across modern skincare, but product names can make a routine feel more complicated than it needs to be. Here is how these ingredients fit into the Canna Magic SKIN collection.

Vitamin C: BRIGHTEN

BRIGHTEN Vitamin C Serum is formulated with a vitamin C derivative and ferulic acid and is designed for a daily routine focused on a brighter-looking complexion.

Niacinamide: REGENERATE

REGENERATE Niacinamide Face Serum is positioned as an everyday face serum for a radiance-focused routine. If you prefer understandable ingredient-led skincare, niacinamide gives this product a clear role within the range.

Peptides: FIRM, RENEW and AWAKEN

Peptides feature in several Canna Magic products because they can sit across different stages of a routine. FIRM Peptide Night Serum is the evening serum step. RENEW Peptide Day Cream is the morning moisturising step, while AWAKEN Peptide Eye Cream is designed specifically for moisturising care around the eye area, morning and night.

Which one should you choose?

Think about the role you want the product to play rather than collecting actives for the sake of it. BRIGHTEN suits a radiance-focused routine; REGENERATE gives you a niacinamide serum option; FIRM provides a peptide serum option. You can then build moisturising and protection around that choice.
