The benefits of vitamin C serums include helping to visibly improve uneven tone and hyperpigmentation, enhancing radiance for a healthier-looking complexion, and delivering antioxidant protection to defend skin against environmental stressors such as pollution and UV exposure.
Apply your vitamin C serum to clean, dry skin, following the “thinnest to thickest” rule when layering your skincare products.
You can use a vitamin C serum both morning and night. However, if you’re using vitamin C with retinol, it’s best to apply vitamin C in the morning and retinol in the evening to help minimise the risk of irritation.
