Common conclusions

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is great for all skin types. Vitamin C is generally safe to take on a regular daily basis. It can, however, be irritating in high concentrations, particularly when combined with other acids. You can take Vitamin C serum daily or every other day. When you apply a serum to your face (Vitamin C's most popular delivery vehicle), apply the serum after a thorough cleansing of the skin.

The use of vitamin C has been shown to reduce melanin development. Melanin aids in the fading of dark spots and the development of a more even-toned complexion for your skin. Vitamin C serum is generally safe and well tolerated by the body, so you can use a Vitamin C serum on a daily basis. Within three weeks of incorporating Vitamin C serum into your skincare routine, you should see noticeable results. After around two months, using Vitamin C serum on a regular basis will substantially reduce hyperpigmentation.

If you use retinol and Vitamin C serum together, be sure to apply them 30 minutes apart. Since Vitamin C serum has the lower pH of the two, use it first. After that, you should wait half an hour before applying retinol. You should be able to use retinol and Vitamin C serum three days a week, depending on your skin type and sensitivity.

Vitamin C serum is usually used once or twice daily. Cleanse, tone, add Vitamin C serum, and then moisturize as a rule of thumb.
