Our anti ageing Vitamin C serum can be used morning or night. If using in the morning, apply before your day moisturiser. If applying at night, apply on top of your night moisturiser as the final step in your regime. If you have an oilier skin type, you may find it best to only apply at night. 

How long will it take to see results?   
When introducing a new SKINICIAN product to your home care routine, it can take between 4-6 weeks which is one full cell cycle. 

Can any skin type use vitamin C ? 
Yes, our Vitamin C face serum is suitable for all skins. However if you have dry, dull, pigmented or ageing skin, you will get the most benefit from using SKINICIAN Vitamin C Elixir in your skincare routine. 

Can I use vitamin C and retinol together? 
If you would like to use both vitamin C and retinol in your skincare routine, we would recommend using our Vitamin C face oil in the morning and your  Overnight Retinol Powerbalm at night. If you would prefer to use your Vitamin C oil for face in the evening, we recommend alternating between them i.e. using the Vitamin C Elixir one evening and then using the Overnight Retinol Powerbalm the next evening.

Can I use vitamin C serums if I have sensitive skin? 
Yes. Our Elixir Vitamin C serum is also formulated with grapeseed oil which helps to reduce inflammation and nourish the skin's barrier. 

Can I use vitamin C oil on its own? 
Yes, SKINICIAN Vitamin C Elixir can be used on the skin in place of a night cream. However, if you have dry, dehydrated or mature skin, it can be used with our  Restoring Night Cream. We do not advise using it alone during the day as we require an SPF to protect the skin from UVR.
