Frequently Asked Questions About Vitamin C

Can I skip moisturizer after vitamin C serum?

Using a moisturizer after your vitamin C serum helps to add moisture while locking in your serum's benefits," says Anna De La Cruz, VP of Product Development.
Do you put vitamin C products on wet or dry skin?
