Using vitamin C
in the morning: the right way
A dull complexion, post-acne marks that linger: vitamin C can bring radiance back to your skin. Well chosen and properly applied, it also acts as everyday antioxidant support.
The principle
Why use vitamin C in the morning?
Vitamin C is an antioxidant that helps skin cope with the oxidative stress caused by UV rays and pollution. Applied in the morning, it fits naturally into a routine designed to support your skin throughout the day.
It also helps visibly brighten the complexion and fade the appearance of pigmentation spots or post-acne marks, provided it's paired with daily sun protection.
Working together
Vitamin C and sunscreen: the duo that changes everything
Vitamin C never replaces sun protection. It complements a broad-spectrum sunscreen by adding extra antioxidant action. Apply your serum, then a cream if needed, then SPF 30 to 50 depending on how prone you are to dark spots.
Formulation
Which vitamin C to choose for your skin
For oily skin with blemishes and post-acne marks, a light, non-sticky vitamin C is ideal.
Yes, vitamin C and niacinamide can be used in the same routine — the idea that they're incompatible is largely outdated.
To avoid
Mistakes that hold back results
An oxidised serum (one that has turned distinctly brown) loses its effectiveness — keep it away from light. Don't judge its effectiveness after three applications: marks and dark spots often need eight to twelve weeks of consistent use.
