Q: When should I use Vitamin C Serum?

A: Typically, it should be used every morning after cleansing your face, but before applying moisturizer or sunscreen. Vitamin C Serum provides antioxidant protection against environmental stressors like pollution, free radicals, and UV rays. To amplify the benefits, and if you skin can tolerate it twice a day, use also in the evening on cleansed skin, prior to applying moisturizer. This will maximize brightening, anti-aging, and protective effects. Consistency is key to seeing results over time.

Q: Can I use Vitamin C Serum and Retinol at the same time? 

A: If using Vitamin C at night, be mindful if you also use retinol because they are both potent anti-aging products. Some people find that using vitamin C and Retinol together can be too strong which causes irritation and redness. If your skin tolerates it, you can layer them or use vitamin C in the morning and Retinol at night. Best to consult a dermatologist if you are unsure or have sensitive skin. 

Q: How long will it take before I see brightening effects on my face?

A: Typically, users see a brightening effect (‘the glow’) within the first two weeks of consistent daily usage. The timeframe depends on age, condition of skin before using Vitamin C, and how much sun exposure a person gets. 

Q: What is hyperpigmentation, and will Vitamin C Serum help reduce spots? 

A: Hyperpigmentation means brown spots or patches on your skin, typically the result of too much sun exposure over time. Vitamin C is known for its ability to brighten the skin by reducing the appearance of dark spots, uneven skin tone, and hyperpigmentation. Vitamin C inhibits melanin production, which can help to fade existing dark spots while preventing new ones from forming. 

Q: Does Vitamin C help protect against harmful UVA and UVB rays? 

A: Not really. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps protect the skin from environmental stressors like pollution, UV rays, and free radicals, but you should also use a proper SPF for full protection from the elements. All protection including Vitamin C topicals helps prevent premature aging and skin damage.

Q: Does Vitamin C help reduce signs of acne?

A: Not directly. However, Vitamin C’s anti-inflammatory properties can help calm irritated skin and reduce redness, two symptoms associated with anti-acne medications and treatments. Vitamin C is beneficial for people with sensitive or acne-prone skin.
