Vitamin C Serum: Benefits and How to Add It to Your Routine

Why vitamin C is a skincare staple

Vitamin C is an antioxidant that helps brighten the look of skin, supports an even tone and defends against everyday environmental stress. It's a popular morning-routine active for good reason.

What it can help with

• Helps skin look brighter and more radiant.
• Helps fade the appearance of dark spots over time.
• Adds antioxidant support under sunscreen during the day.

How to use it

Apply a few drops after cleansing and before moisturiser, in the morning. Follow with sunscreen — vitamin C and SPF work well together. If your skin is sensitive, start every other day.

Storage tip

Vitamin C can oxidise over time. Keep the bottle closed, away from light, and replace it if the liquid turns dark.
