What is Vitamin C Serum?
Vitamin C Serum is an concentrated form of active ingredient known as L-Ascorbic acid. Which is known for the potent antioxidant activity. Now you will ask us what is antioxidant activity, it is the ability to stop or neutralize unstable molecules and skin cells from damaging your skin.
This is how the Vitamin C serums stops your skin from darkening, getting darks spots or damaged from the UV rays. It mainly benefits in:
- Brightening your skin without causing any irritation.
- Protect your skin from photoaging meaning causing wrinkles, fine lines or sagging.
- Reduces redness or hyperpigmentation by inhibiting skin cells from getting inflammed.
- Remove dullness of skin by oxidating the old skin cells which are getting damaged by the UV rays and pollution.
What Concentration best for your skin?
The most effective concentration range for a pure Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) serum is between 10% and 20%. Clinical studies compiled by dermatologists show that this range provides the perfect balance between high performance and skin safety
Beaunetic Offers 3 different concentrations of pure Vitamin C serum – 10%, 16% & 20%. You might be tempted to use higher concentration for more rapid results but that’s not recommended, you might actually harm your skin by doing it.
Sweet spot for majority of people are 10% to 15% but if you are having stubborn dark spots and mature skin which does not absorb lower concentrations easily then only go with 20% formulation.
Choosing the Right Percentage for Your Skin
- 10% (For Sensitive Skin): Go with 10% concentration if you are using Vitamin C Serum for first time and your goal is to brighten and reduce dark spots or acne marks. Also, it is clinically proven that 10% is the lowest effective concentration.
- 10% to 16% (The Sweet Spot): This is what we call the sweet spot of Vitamin C serum concentration, Even the dermatologist recommend it. Mainly because it is not too low to be ineffective and not too high to get your skin irritated. check out our 16% Vitamin C Face Serum
- 20% (For Advanced Users): As said this is for the advance users only if you are having mature skin and dark spots from the years of skin damage then only go with this.
when to use vitamin c serum day or night?
While you can technically use it at night, applying it in the morning offers the highest utility because its primary job is to protect your skin from daytime environmental damage.
You can use Vitamin C Serum at both the time AM (Morning) & PM (Evening) But we recommend you to use it in the morning because its major role is protect your skin from the harmful UV rays and pollution.
Why morning time is best?
Neutralizes Daytime Stressors: It effectively controls formation of free radicals causing aging symptoms in the skin from the damage of the UV Rays and Pollutions.
Boosts Your Sunscreen: Yes, it acts as an secondary protective layer after your sunscreen giving you double protection from the sun damage.
Why Night is Less Optimal (But Still Fine)
Wasted Defense: in the evening to night your skin is generally less exposed to the pollutants and skin damage which means you literally wasting your Vitamin C Serum.
Product Conflicts: In the night time recommended products are AHA BHA & Retinol serums which 100% conflicts with the Vitamin C Serum and cause irritation.
Step-by-Step Guide: how to apply vitamin c serum
Only applying Vitamin C Serum won’t help you getting rid of darken skin, acne scars or dark spots. indeed it is effective but combine it with the night routine serums like 2% aha-bha solution or retinol serum.
Step 1 – Clean Your Face
Since you are going to use it in the morning you will first need to clear all the excess oil and sebum formed on the skin which will reduce the skin penetration of vitamin c you going to apply. So, take pH-balanced cleanser to get rid of all the impurities formed on your skin. Then make sure you pat dry your face and avoid rubbing with any cloth.
Step 2 – Apply 3-5 drops of Vitamin C Serum
Vitamin C Serums usually comes with dropper so you can directly drop serum on your face. Take 3-5 drops evenly distribute them on cheeks forehead and neck area. gently pat these serum drops with your fingertips in circular motion to get it fully absorbed.
Step 3 – Wait for 1 Minute
This step is ignored by the most of peoples, you should always give at-least one minute to active ingredients for penetrating the skin barrier and reach to roots.
Step 4 – Apply The Moisturizer
After applying Vitamin C serum your skin gets dry and it requires the hydration. Here you can apply a moisturizer containing Niacinamide or hyaluronic acid for maximum benefits. make sure you apply thin layer of it and don’t over do it.
Step 5 – Apply Sunscreen
Vitamin C serum do have the skin protection properties but it can not replace the sunscreen. It protects you from the sun damage and pollution while your Vitamin C serum will works on rejuvenating your skin. Remember to apply good amount of sunscreen even if you are not going directly in the sun.
What You Can Combine with Vitamin C Serum?
Skincare is not just about single serum, you will need more products to be combined into your morning routine to heal up from multiple problems. for example if you have acne prone skin you should combine Niacinamide Serum with Vitamin C serum to effectively get brighter skin and get rid of acne at the same time.
If you want brighter skin but also wants to look younger then add Retinol serum in the night routine it will reduce wrinkles and aging skin symptoms.
If you are having tanned skin then add AHA-BHA peeling solutions to your night routine and get rid of tanning.
