Layering Vitamin C Like a Pro

 

Vitamin C is a wonderful ingredient that works to brighten your complexion. Vitamin C products work by reducing the appearance of blemishes (dark spots, hyperpigmentation, acne scars, and redness) in order to even out your skin tone and help it reflect light more uniformly—leading to brighter-looking, more radiant skin. 

 

So if vitamin C is an ingredient that you already know works for you, it may be tempting to try and up the dose, as it were, to achieve even better, more radiant results. However, as we discussed last time, more isn’t necessarily better. In fact, too high of a concentration of vitamin C in a single product may be too harsh for your skin—causing redness, sensitivity, or breakouts.

 

What is there to do?

Well, you could try layering your vitamin C products to get you over the line.

Step 1: Tone it up!

Forget about busting out your pack of cotton pads, the Vitamin C Green Tea Enzyme Brightening Pad is an all-in-one product! Enriched with multivitamins (vitamins C, B3, and B5), Green Tea Enzyme, and niacinamide, this toner pad can deliver brightening goodness with a simple swipe! If you’re looking to address more targeted areas, you can flip it over, and use the pad like a spot care treatment.

Step 2: Let’s C the serum!

The Vitamin C Green Tea Enzyme Brightening Serum combines water-soluble and oil-soluble vitamin C with Green Tea Enzyme and niacinamide to help brighten your skin’s complexion. The vitamin C capsules allow the vitamin C to penetrate the skin effectively for improved skin tone and texture in 7 days. It’s a high-efficacy product that is still gentle on the skin.

Step 3 : Add a little cream on top

The Vitamin C Green Tea Enzyme Brightening Cream contains all the goodness of its serum counterpart with additional vitamins and hydration! It has a lightweight, gel texture and a non-comedogenic formula which makes a good fit even for those with sensitive skin. It can be used normally as a moisturizer during the day or as a sleeping mask at night for glowing, vibrant skin the next morning. 

Extra features

An important fact to remember when building yourself a vitamin C-led skincare routine is suncare. The importance of suncare cannot be overstated in any skincare routine (because really, what’s the point of putting so much effort into your skincare if you’re going to let the sun blast it directly with its harmful UV rays) but it is especially important for when you’re using vitamin C in the day time. 

When paired with a suncare product of at least SPF 50, vitamin C products can actually help protect your skin from sun damage. Do yourself a favor and get on the sunscreen train if you aren’t already!

Brighter days are ahead!

All the best with your C routine!
