Vitamin C serum | Morning or Night | Dermatologist suggests

☀️What is the best time to use vitamin C ?
Well the answer is not simple.

☀️When we include an active in our skin care routine, we should understand when and how to use it so we get the most out of it .

☀️Vitamin C can be applied in the morning or at night and even twice a day

☀️Though it is most commonly used in the morning time due to its UV protective effects, there are certain conditions in which it’s better to apply vitamin c at night

🌅Apply vitamin C in the morning if :
✔️Mostly indoors
✔️Less sun exposure
✔️Using milder or stable forms of vitamin C like 3- O ethylascorbic acid, ascorbyl glycoside, sodium ascorbyl phosphate or magnesium ascorbyl phosphate
✔️using for glow and brightening effect
✔️using retinol at night

🌃Apply Vitamin C at night if:
✔️sensitive skin
✔️using potent form like L ascorbic acid
✔️not using a retinol at night or using retinol only 2-3 times a week
✔️mainly for dark spots
✔️as maintenance treatment for melasma
✔️excess sun exposure
