Vitamin C for beginners?

I got few advices which I hope will help you :) 1. Check your routine first - are there other actives? Any active that might work badly with vitamin C like retinol or acids? 2. Choose formula - usually brands won't tell you the pH of the product but some forms works only in pH around 2-3, other forms can work in pH around 5 or even 7. Majority of brands work on ascorbic acid or other forms like ascorbyl glucoside, SAP, MAP, or EAC - EAC is probably the most powerful but also most expensive version of Vitamin C (still, the best one for sensitive skin) 3. Since Vitamin C boosts UV protection it's good to introduce Vitamin C during the morning routine 4. Start easy - 2/3 times per week, and then more often. Depends on your skin reaction and needs. 5. It's good to mix Vitamin C with Vitamin E, niacinamide and ferulic acid - search for such substances in your skincare or vitamin C product. 6. Make sure your vitamin C is fresh - especially ascorbic acid likes to turn colour from white/pale yellow to brown in short amount of time. 7. Even if Vit C boosts UV protection we still need to use sunscreen. 8. Don't be surprised when the cream you use after using it on vitamin C turns into water - it can happen :) I hope these advices will help you, I also added some product recommendations - vitamin C products that worked for me :)

I use Maelove Glow Maker. I apply it in the AM. I use a salicylic acid face wash and then apply vitamin C. I read it is important to use a low PH face wash so your skin can absorb the Vitamin C properly. I then apply azeliac acid and moisturizer. I top the whole morning routine off with sunscreen. I didn’t start slow, but most do. I have never had a reaction to Vitamin C and I have tried a few brands. I would recommend to build your way up to every night. I saw great results quickly. Depending on your budget, Skincuticals is an amazing option. Honestly, the Holy Grail of Vitamin C! Good Luck!

This gentle vitamin C 🍋 serum will be a good one to start with. Here's my experience ⬇️ https://www.instagram.com/p/CT9SZZipRMf/?utm_medium=copy_link I apply it to dry skin every morning!
