Although vitamin C is generally well tolerated, all skin products have the potential to cause side effects.You should always do a patch test to assess your risk of allergic reaction.
Here’s how:
- Select a small area of skin that’s easy to conceal, like your forearm.
- Apply a small amount of product and wait 24 hours.
- If no side effects occur, you can apply it to your face. Discontinue use if you develop a rash, redness, or hives.
When it’s time for a full application, follow the instructions on the product’s label.
Vitamin C serum is typically applied once or twice per day. A good rule of thumb is to cleanse, tone, apply vitamin C serum, and then moisturise. Be sure to apply skin care products with clean hands.
