Vitamin C Serum

Vitamin C serum for the face

Vitamin C serums are popular in the skincare world, but why is that? Vitamin C is known for reducing pigmentation spots, which we’ll delve into below. Additionally, Vitamin C brightens the skin, giving it a boost for a clear, fresh look. When using a Vitamin C serum for your face, it’s important not to combine it with a moisturizer containing retinol. Besides brightening, Vitamin C also helps reduce scars, such as those from acne, diminishes fine lines, and aids in collagen formation. 

Vitamin C serum for pigmentation spots 

As mentioned above, Vitamin C is almost essential in your skincare routine, especially if you have pigmentation spots. Vitamin C serums are frequently used to address pigmentation. Vitamin C is an antioxidant, a substance that protects against free radicals, which damage cells. An added bonus is that Vitamin C can limit UV damage, which often manifests as pigmentation spots. Therefore, a Vitamin C serum for pigmentation spots is a must.

How to use a Vitamin C serum?

A Vitamin C serum is best used when you’re not exposed to the sun and preferably on its own. Don’t apply another serum or moisturizer over it for the first 20-30 minutes. Otherwise, the Vitamin C may dissolve in the water of the moisturizer or bind to another substance. A good combination in a serum is Vitamin C with Vitamin E. Use your serum in the evening after cleansing your face, let it absorb, and then optionally apply a night cream.
