What's the Right Vitamin C Serum for Me?Find the perfect vitamin C serum for your skin type. |
Vitamin C is a skin care must for so many reasons: it's anti-aging and boosts collagen production, it protects the skin from free radicals, it's a skin brightener that helps fade hyperpigmentation and it strengthens the skin barrier. Suffice it to say, it's a powerhouse ingredient... but it can also be a little bit tricky to use, depending on your skin type.
Vitamin C can be fickle — for instance, it doesn't generally mix well with other acids (retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, etc), and it can also cause skin sensitivity and irritation. But don't let that scare you off! Not all vitamin C products are created equal; there are different kinds that have varying concentration of vitamin C and others that add on soothing, boosting and hydrating benefits too.
In other words? There's a vitamin C out there for everyone — and one that will work great, just for you! Here are some suggestions for your skin type.
