Did you buy L-Ascorbic Acid form of Vitamin C? Thats formulated at pH 2-3 so very acidic in order to ensure potency and pH of skin is 5-6
At such a low pH it has great potential to burn skin and damage barrier
Niacinamide, Hyaluronic Acid and Ceramides are great to help you repair that barrier

In general, vitamin C has different forms and ascorbic acid is the main one. No matter if you go for ascorbic acid or ascorbyl glucoside, SAP, map etc for sensitive skin we should choose solutions below 10% since solutions with more Vit C can cause irritation. Other thing is that:
- some people can't use Vit C plus niacinamide together because they'll cause some redness
- vitamin C might react with other actives or ingredients you're using
Still, I would suspect that the solution you use has too high concentration of Vit C for your skin

it’s best to start off from Low concentrations of vitamin C first then work upwards
