Let it settle for a moment before anything goes on top. It can be used at night as well, but if you are using the Night Vitamin A Serum, keep the two to their own ends of the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBefore you buy\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost vitamin C serums use L-ascorbic acid. It is the most-studied form and it works — but it is chemically fragile. It reacts with light and air, browns over a few weeks, and once it is brown the vitamin C has largely converted to something that is not doing much. That is the most common complaint in this entire category, and it is why \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/journal\/vitamin-c-serum-turned-orange\"\u003eyours went orange\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe honest trade-off, because there is one: derivatives like ours are gentler and steadier, and the research base behind L-ascorbic acid is larger. If you want the most-studied molecule and you are happy to buy it fresh and use it fast, buy that instead — we would genuinely rather you got the right thing. If you want something that still works in week eight, this is it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat to expect\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVitamin C is used for the appearance of brightness and a more even-looking tone. Give it eight to twelve weeks of consistent use before judging. A light tingle on application is common; a sting that lasts is not, and \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/journal\/why-vitamin-c-serum-stings\"\u003ewe wrote about what that means\u003c\/a\u003e.
