20% VITAMIN C BRIGHTEN + FIRM SERUMUpdated 5 months ago
Its waterless base ensures that the color of this formula does not change, and it stays potent. Our 20% VITAMIN C BRIGHTEN + FIRM SERUM has an initial balm-like quality (due to pure diamond powder that imparts instant radiance) that may feel thick at first but melts instantly in contact with damp skin. This serum, as all other serums, is the third step in your routine. Should be applied after toners or mists and before moisturizers.
SUITABLE FOR: ALL SKIN TYPES Especially those looking for a solution to firm and brighten skin
WHEN TO USE: DAILY USAGE (AM/PM) Include it in your morning or evening routine.
HOW TO USE: Shake well before every use. Use daily in the AM and/or PM, suitable under makeup or without. After cleansing and misting or toning, apply 1-3 pumps all over your face and neck. This serum should be applied on damp skin for best absorption and best results.
Apply your favorite moisturizer or face oil afterward and always use SPF as the final step in your routine.
HOW TO COMBINE WITH OTHER SERUMS OR ACTIVES:
Combining the 20% Vitamin C Brighten + Firm Serum with other serums or actives requires consideration of ingredient compatibility, your skin type, and your skincare goals. Before combining with other actives, patch test to check for any adverse reactions.
Pair the 20% Vitamin C Brighten + Firm Serum with other hydrating serums containing hyaluronic acid or glycerin to boost hydration and minimize irritation. It can be used together with the Multi Peptides & GF Advanced Lifting Serum as they complement each other perfectly.
Niacinamide is also safe to be used in the same routine as the Vitamin C. Together, they can help brighten skin and improve texture. Apply Vitamin C first, let it absorb, then follow with niacinamide.
Using Vitamin C and retinol/retinoids together can sometimes be too intense for the skin, so it’s better to alternate. A great approach is to use Vitamin C in the morning and save retinol for your nighttime routine.
Similarly, with exfoliating acids like AHAs or BHAs, it’s best not to layer them with Vitamin C in the same routine, as this could lead to irritation or reduce the effectiveness of both. Instead, you can alternate by applying Vitamin C in the morning and your exfoliating acids at night.
Introduce Gradually: If new to Vitamin C or other actives, start using them on alternate days to build skin tolerance. Adjust usage if you notice signs of irritation or sensitivity and don't forget to patch test.
