When to Use Vitamin C for Best Results

Skincare can be a bit daunting, especially with all the talk about vitamin C. I’ve been trying it out and discovered that the timing of application really matters. Personally, I love using vitamin C in the morning right after cleansing and before my moisturizer and sunscreen. It gives my skin a bright, revitalized feel that really sets the tone for my day.

I’ve noticed that vitamin C serums come in various textures, from light gels to thicker formulas. For morning use, I prefer the lighter textures since they absorb quickly and work well under makeup. If you have sensitive skin, starting with a lower concentration can help ease you into it. I’ve realized that when I skip vitamin C, my skin tends to look a bit dull, so I truly value its place in my routine.

At night, I usually reserve vitamin C for days when I’m not using retinol to minimize irritation while still enjoying its benefits. It’s all about finding that balance! I’m curious about how you all incorporate vitamin C into your routines. Do you use it in the morning or at night? What serum textures do you find work best for you?
