Vitamin C = your daily glow shield 🍊
It hunts free radicals (UV/pollution), boosts collagen, brightens dullness, and fades dark spots for a smoother, even-toned glow.
How to use
• AM routine: cleanse → Vitamin C serum → moisturiser → SPF 50+ ☀️
• Start 10–20% L-ascorbic acid (or gentler forms like ascorbyl glucoside/MAP for sensitive skin).
• Pairing power: Vitamin E + ferulic acid = extra stability & antioxidant boost.
• Packaging matters: opaque/air-tight bottle; keep away from heat & light.
Skin tips
• Stinging? Use every other morning, then build up.
• Mixing actives: fine with niacinamide; avoid layering with strong AHAs/BHAs/retinoids in the same step if you’re sensitive.
• Expect visible brightening in 4–8 weeks with daily SPF.
• Patch test first. Avoid eye contact/irritated skin.
