vitamin c serum before and after - #28286

Rohan

I am really confused about using vitamin c serum before and after my skincare routine. Last month, I started using it because I read so much about how vitamin c serum can brighten your skin and help with dark spots. At first, my skin felt amazing, like super soft and fresh, but after about a week, I noticed some redness and a little peeling, which freaked me out. I mean, is that normal? I wasn’t even sure how often I should be applying vitamin c serum before my moisturizer. I read different things online, some say to do it twice a day, others just once. And like, what about sunscreen? Is it okay to put vitamin c serum before sunscreen, or does it make it less effective? I keep looking at photos of vitamin c serum before and after results and it seems like it works wonders for some people, but I’m worried I’m not doing it right. Should I stick with it or switch to something else? Just need some advice from you all on what you think is the best routine with vitamin c serum before and after other products. Any experience would help!

Doctors' responses

Applying vitamin C serum can indeed be a beneficial addition to your skincare routine, as it has antioxidant properties that may brighten the skin and reduce dark spots. However, your experiences of redness and peeling might be indicative of a few adjustments needed in your routine. First, it’s generally recommended to use vitamin C serum once a day, preferably in the morning. Start with a small amount, maybe every other day, to see how your skin tolerates it. As your skin becomes accustomed, you can increase to daily use if it doesn’t show signs of irritation. Apply it after cleansing and before your moisturizer to ensure maximum absorption. To address your concern about sunscreen, it’s perfectly fine and actually beneficial to use vitamin C before applying sunscreen. Vitamin C can augment your sunscreen’s effectiveness against UV damage, but it’s crucial to let the serum absorb fully into the skin before layering your sunscreen on top. If redness and peeling persist, your skin may be reacting to the concentration of vitamin C or potentially another ingredient in the serum. There are different formulations and concentrations available, so you may want to try a lower concentration or a product with a gentler formulation if irritation continues. In any case, if discomfort persists or worsens, consider consulting with a dermatologist to ensure your routine is optimized for your skin type and needs. Additionally, while photos and testimonials can be encouraging, individual skin responses vary, so it’s important to build a routine that is suited specifically to you. Remember, overuse can lead to further irritation, so moderation and consistency are key.
