Should I apply vitamin C to my skin?
Topical vitamin C has several benefits for your skin, including moisturizing, reducing redness, and hyperpigmentation.
It may also help boost collagen production and reduce sun damage, according to Healthline.
Research shows it is safe for most skin types, but can cause irritation at concentrations above 20%.
Experts recommend doing a patch test on a small skin area before applying it to your face and waiting 24 hours to see if there are any side effects.
Discontinue topical vitamin C use if you develop a rash, redness, or hives.
One reviewer warned new buyers not to be put off by the serum’s unusual smell.
“Honestly, it smells like tuna or cat food. You can’t tell what it is by looking at the ingredients, but the old adage when it comes to beauty products is, ‘If it smells, it works!’ ” they said.
“I was looking for a vitamin C oil instead of a serum, but this one contains vitamin E, so it’s more moisturizing than a serum.
“The price is great and the product is great. I like it much better than any other vitamin C I’ve used. I highly recommend it!”
Another shopper said the smell wasn’t as unpleasant as he expected.
“When I read the reviews about the scent resembling wet cat food, I was prepared for an unpleasant experience,” they wrote.
“However, I am pleasantly surprised that although there is a bit of an odor, it is not too bad and it is all gone after a few minutes.
“This product also works and leaves my face feeling very soft and supple and I’ve been using it for several weeks.”
