FAQs
Why does the serum have two layers?
The oil layer sits on top of the pure vitamin C to slow oxidation and leave a moisturizing finish once blended in.
Do I need sunscreen after using it?
Yes, always apply sunscreen afterward, since vitamin C can increase the skin's sensitivity to light.
Is this a beginner vitamin C serum?
No, at 23% concentration it's recommended for those who already have experience with vitamin C.
