Frequently asked questions

How is it different from the Gentle Vitamin C Serum?

Retailers position this one as the stronger, brightening-focused option, while the Gentle version is aimed at sensitive skin and vitamin C beginners.

Can I use it with niacinamide products?

It already contains niacinamide, so you usually do not need a separate niacinamide serum in the same step.

Will it tingle?

It is described as non-sticky and comfortable, but any vitamin C can tingle on compromised skin. Back off if it stings for more than a moment.

Who should be careful

Vitamin C serums can make freshly exfoliated or irritated skin sting; avoid pairing it with strong acids in the same routine at first.

Use sunscreen daily, since brightening routines work best when skin is protected from UV.

Patch test first: apply a little to the inner forearm or behind the ear and wait 24 to 48 hours before using it on your face.
