Vitamin C is an essential vitamin that can be found in many vegetables and fruits and has various health benefits, making it a popular supplement or ingredient in an everyday routine.

But the positive effects of this powerful ingredient don’t end there, as vitamin C has many benefits for the skin. Vitamin C serum has anti-inflammatory properties, helping to reduce dark spots, blemishes and redness. It is also highly effective for improving the appearance of wrinkles and creating a smooth skin texture.

For those with sensitive skin, finding products that won’t irritate your skin can be difficult. But rest assured, vitamin C products come in many different forms and when used properly can be beneficial for all skin types.

The best vitamin C for sensitive skin is one that is gentle and does not strip the skin too harshly. We might recommend starting with a light vitamin C cleanser to ease your skin into using the ingredient. Our Fresh Pressed™ Renewing Powder Cleanser with Pure Vitamin C is a water-activated powder cleanser with a gentle formula that helps to purify and brighten the skin.

Depending on what kind of vitamin C skincare you are using, the routine will differ. The most common kind of vitamin C for the face usually comes in the form of a serum, like our Even Better Clinical™ Radical Dark Spot Corrector + Interrupter.

To use a vitamin C serum, like any other serum, start with a clean face. Use a gentle cleanser to wash your face before going in with a toner to eliminate any additional residue. Then, go in with your vitamin C serum either on a cotton pad or on your hands. Follow this with a moisturiser. It’s recommended to use vitamin C every or every other morning for optimal results.
