FAQs
How often should I use the serum?
Ideally, use the serum once a day, in the morning. However, you can adjust the frequency based on your skin's tolerance.
Can I use this serum with other actives like retinol?
It is generally safe, but start by using them at different times of the day to avoid potential irritation. Consult a dermatologist if unsure.
What should I do if the serum turns yellow?
A slight yellowing is normal. However, if the color changes dramatically, it may be oxidizing, and the efficacy could be reduced. Ensure proper storage.
Is this serum suitable for sensitive skin?
The serum is hypoallergenic and fragrance-free, making it suitable for many with sensitive skin. However, always do a patch test first.
How long does it take to see results?
Results vary, but many users see improvements in brightness and skin tone within a few weeks of consistent use.
Can I use this serum during pregnancy?
It's always best to consult with your doctor or dermatologist before using any new skincare products during pregnancy.
How should I store the serum?
Store the serum in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight to protect the Vitamin C from degradation.
Troubleshooting
Skin irritation or redness after application.
Reduce the frequency of use (e.g., use every other day) or dilute the serum with a moisturizer. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.
