Frequently asked questions
What is vitamin C in skincare?

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps protect the skin from environmental damage, supports collagen production, and brightens overall tone. It’s commonly used to fade pigmentation, boost radiance, and smooth texture for a healthier-looking, more even complexion. It is most effective when applied consistently and combined with SPF during the day.
What are the benefits of vitamin C?

Vitamin C defends against free radicals, reduces visible signs of ageing, and improves firmness. It brightens dull skin, fades dark spots, and enhances overall glow. Regular use can make skin look fresher, more even-toned, and more resilient against environmental stressors. It is most effective when applied consistently and combined with SPF during the day.
Is vitamin C suitable for all skin types?

Yes—vitamin C works for most skin types, but sensitive skin may prefer gentler derivatives like sodium ascorbyl phosphate. It’s important to introduce it gradually and pair with SPF, as it can make skin more sensitive to sunlight if not properly protected. It is most effective when applied consistently and combined with SPF during the day.
Can vitamin C help with pigmentation?

Yes—vitamin C inhibits melanin production, helping to fade pigmentation and dark spots over time. Consistent daily use, combined with sun protection, can lead to a more even skin tone and brighter overall complexion within several weeks to months. It is most effective when applied consistently and combined with SPF during the day.
How should I use vitamin C in my routine?

Vitamin C is best applied in the morning after cleansing and before moisturiser or SPF. Using it during the day enhances protection against environmental damage. Layer with hydrating serums and follow with sunscreen to maximise results and prevent new pigmentation. It is most effective when applied consistently and combined with SPF during the day.
Can I use vitamin C with other active ingredients?

Yes—vitamin C pairs well with niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and peptides. If using retinol or strong acids, apply them at night and vitamin C in the morning to minimise irritation and maintain optimal skin barrier health. It is most effective when applied consistently and combined with SPF during the day.
What’s the difference between L-ascorbic acid and other forms?

L-ascorbic acid is the purest and most researched form of vitamin C, offering potent results but less stability. Other derivatives, like ascorbyl glucoside, are gentler and more stable but may deliver slower, more gradual results with reduced risk of irritation. It is most effective when applied consistently and combined with SPF during the day.
Does vitamin C cause irritation?

Some people may experience tingling, redness, or mild sensitivity, especially with high concentrations of L-ascorbic acid. Starting with a lower strength and gradually increasing can help the skin adjust and reduce the risk of irritation over time. It is most effective when applied consistently and combined with SPF during the day.
How long until I see results with vitamin C?

Brightening effects can appear within 4–6 weeks of consistent use, while firmer, more even-toned skin may take 8–12 weeks. Pairing vitamin C with SPF helps maintain results and prevents future pigmentation and dullness from forming. It is most effective when applied consistently.
Should vitamin C be stored in a special way?

Yes—vitamin C, especially L-ascorbic acid, is unstable and can degrade when exposed to light and air. Store it in an opaque, airtight container in a cool, dark place to preserve potency for as long as possible. It is most effective when applied consistently and combined with SPF during the day.
