Hi everyone! I’ve been exploring skincare lately, and I’ve come across a common question: should I apply vitamin C serum before or after moisturizer? As someone with sensitive and allergy-prone skin, I’m eager to find the best routine that maximizes benefits while minimizing irritation.
From my research, it seems that applying vitamin C serum on clean skin first is the way to go. This helps it absorb better and work effectively. If you apply moisturizer first, it might create a barrier that hinders the serum’s absorption. However, I realize that everyone’s skin is unique, and what works for one person might not be ideal for another, especially for those with sensitive skin like mine.
I’m also curious about how layering other products, like hydrating serums or different actives, affects the order of application. If you’ve tried using vitamin C with moisturizer, what has your experience been like? I’d love to hear your advice and any tips you might have for safely applying these products!
