Vitamin C

What is it?
Vitamin C is naturally present in various citrus fruits and some vegetables, delivering numerous advantages for the skin. However, since the body doesn't produce vitamin C naturally, it must be obtained from external sources. While vitamin C-rich foods and supplements are valuable for your general well-being, only a small fraction reaches the skin after digestion. To ensure your skin receives a consistent dose of vitamin C, consider incorporating skincare products containing this vitamin into your daily routine.

What does it do for the skin?
Vitamin C benefits the skin in various ways. As a potent antioxidant, it shields the skin from damage, reduces signs of aging, and brightens the complexion. It stimulates collagen production, hydrates the skin, and has anti-inflammatory properties, contributing to a healthier and more youthful appearance.

Can it be used with other skincare ingredients?
It's important to avoid combining AHAs and BHAs, like glycolic, salicylic, and lactic acids, with Vitamin C. This is because Vitamin C is also an acid.

Is there a specific order in which it should be applied and how should I use it?
You should apply your Vitamin C serum before your moisturizer, facial oil, and sunscreen in your morning routine. You can use a face wash and toner before your Vitamin C serum. It's most effective when applied in the morning, but always remember to follow up with SPF to protect your skin. 

Is it suitable for all skin types?
Vitamin C serum are great for any skin type, from acne-prone skin to aging skin, oily to dry skin.
