Here’s How A Vitamin C Face Serum Can Be An Absolute Game-Changer
Sure, you may have your cleanser, toner, moisturizer, and sunscreen all sorted, but have you introduced a vitamin C serum to your AM skincare routine? If not, this guide will certainly change your skin for the better! Dealing with hyperpigmentation or pesky dark spots? Want to get rid of dull skin? Battling fine lines? Have annoying acne scars? A vitamin C serum can do it all! Let’s fill you in on how it works and what it has to do with skin brightening. Well, it’s also important to choose a formula tailored to your exact skin type, or else it can make things worse in the long run. And the last thing you want is to damage your skin’s delicate barrier. Let’s face it, the market is inundated with countless vitamin C serums. That said, before diving straight into any vitamin C serum claiming to be the best face serum for glowing skin, it’s important to familiarize yourself with what works best for you. For instance, if you have oily skin, you should look for the best vitamin C serum for oily skin that helps control excessive oil secretion. Similarly, for dry and combination skin, opt for vitamin C serums that suit your skin type. Here’s what you should look for when buying a vitamin C face serum for glowing skin: Ingredients: Just any Vitamin C may not do the job. Look for the source of Vitamin C - one that’s potent, a stable form which does not oxidise easily. Choose products that have the goodness of both nature and science. Ingredients like 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Kakadu Plum, and Moringa Extract are the richest forms of vitamin C. Think of these as besties that work well together. Another active ingredient, Hyaluronic Acid, is also a good pal to vitamin C, providing intense hydration for smoother and more youthful-looking skin. Packaging: Exposure to heat, light, and air can degrade the quality of the product. Hence, look for a vitamin C face serum that comes in a dark glass bottle with a dropper or an air pump for easy extraction. Ensure to keep the bottle immediately after use & store in a dry place, away from sunlight. Free from harsh chemicals: The best vitamin C face serums are free from toxins like parabens, phthalates, allergens, and other harsh actives. Concentration: The ideal concentration level of a vitamin C serum should be between 10 and 20 percent. For maximum effectiveness, you need a concentration that’s higher than 8 percent. However, going beyond 20 percent can lead to skin irritation and doesn’t increase its benefit. CITTA’s 12% Vitamin C Brightening Face Serum for glowing skin has the perfect concentration of 10% Vitamin C Complex and 2% Kakadu Plum, which is ideal for all skin types, including beginners. Now that you’ve gotten a basic understanding of what to look for when buying a vitamin C face serum for glowing skin, here’s a brief guide on how to introduce it into your AM routine to make the most out of it: Wash your face with a cleanser, as you wouldn’t want to apply a serum on an unwashed face. Balance out the skin’s pH level with a toner. Apply the vitamin C face serum evenly on your face and neck. Follow up with a moisturizer and sunscreen. So the bottom line is… A vitamin C face serum is a must-have in your skincare arsenal. Think of it as an elixir that supercharges your skin. And as far as the texture is concerned, it is lighter in consistency and is easily absorbed into the skin.

Day Or Night? When To Apply Vitamin C Serum
Here comes the riddle: When should you apply vitamin C serum - day or night? This question seems to be on everyone’s mind lately, especially with how popular vitamin C serums have become in the skincare world. And there’s a reason for that! Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant with incredible benefits for the skin. It boosts circulation, brightens the complexion, stimulates collagen production, fights free radicals, and heals surface damage. The best part? Many dermatologists recommend vitamin C serum for all skin types - yes, even sensitive skin! But here’s the catch: there’s some debate on whether vitamin C serum should be used in the morning, at night, or both. Let’s break it down and make things clearer for you! As A Morning Serum: Wondering if morning is the right time to apply vitamin C serum? The answer is yes! Its light texture and fast-absorbing properties make it ideal for layering under moisturizer, makeup, and most importantly, sunscreen. When you apply vitamin C in the morning, it helps protect your skin from environmental aggressors like pollution and UV rays throughout the day. Just make sure to follow up with a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 50 or higher to give your skin the best protection. However, if you have sensitive skin and are looking for the best vitamin C serum for sensitive skin, you might want to be cautious with high-concentration vitamin C during the day. Opt for serums with vitamin C concentrations between 10% and 20%, like the CITTA Vitamin C Brightening Face Serum, which has 10% vitamin C and 2% Kakadu Plum, perfect for beginners and sensitive skin. As A Night Serum: While you’re asleep, your skin is busy repairing itself, and vitamin C works its best during this time. Applying it as part of your nighttime routine ensures it gets absorbed effectively. Plus, you don’t have to worry about photosensitivity, which can sometimes happen with daytime use. Nighttime is when your skin is most receptive, so using a vitamin C serum as a night serum helps boost collagen production, target hyperpigmentation, and brighten your skin. It’s the perfect time for your skin to soak in all those benefits while you rest. When Should You Use It? A well-formulated skin-brightening vitamin C serum for glowing skin will give your skin plenty of benefits, whether you use it in the AM or PM. It will help increase collagen production, brighten your skin, and tackle hyperpigmentation. If you apply it during the day, make sure to pair it with sunscreen for added protection against UV damage. If you use it at night, you’ll wake up to fresh, glowing skin! Bottom Line: Whatever time of day you choose, the key is consistency. Skincare is a ritual, and it’s the consistent use of the right products that bring out the best results. So, don’t think you’ll get great results by skipping a day, stick with your routine and let the magic unfold! And yes, don’t forget to check out our carefully curated range of skincare products thoughtfully formulated to meet the specific needs of Indian skin.
