Q: Where should I incorporate vitamin C in my skincare routine ?
A: We recommend applying vitamin C after cleansing and toning, (vitamin C absorbs best into the skin after cleansing) and before SPF. You can apply morning or night, though to target hyperpigmentation and/or discoloration, applying in the AM can help provide a boost of protection against photodamage and free radical damage.
Q: Does vitamin C help address….
A: DARK SPOTS?
Yes! vitamin C is proven to help improve the appearance of dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and discoloration for a brighter, more even-toned look.
REDNESS/DAMAGE?
Our vitamin C format has been shown to help visibly improve photo damage and fortify skin which helps combat redness. We also made sure that the formula is gentle so that it can be suitable for even those with sensitive skin.
ROSACEA?
Our vitamin C format is powerful yet gentle, so that even those with rosacea can enjoy the brightening benefits. vitamin C is known to be a superstar ingredient to help visibly fortify skin, including helping to strengthen capillaries.
DARK CIRCLES?
It can be used around the eye area, but avoid getting it near the lashes, lash line or in the eye. If your dark circles are a result of hyperpigmentation (an overproduction of melanin), vitamin C can help.
MELASMA?
Yes, vitamin C can help visibly improve the appearance of this more intense form of hyperpigmentation. It’s important to note that a number of internal factors can also contribute to melasma, like stress and hormones. We recommend both a topical approach as well as identifying the internal cause.
Q: Will it oxidize, or need to be refrigerated?
A: No! Our vitamin C is highly stable and can be stored at room temperature. It’s proven to remain potent, so you can use it within 12 months after opening without worrying about losing efficacy or potency.
Q: Can vitamin C be paired with niacinamide?
A; Yes! A common myth is that using vitamin C and niacinamide together will irritate skin. However, skincare experts agree that the two ingredients compliment each other well as they work to combat hyperpigmentation in different ways and also help to combat inflammation and the damaging effects of free radicals. In fact, we love pairing it with the niacinamide found in our Glass Skin Refining Serum and Matcha Pudding Antioxidant Cream for enhanced results.
Q: Which form of vitamin C is used in Transparen-C?
A : We chose one of the most premium vitamin C derivatives, ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate. It was important to bring our community what we believe to be the most efficacious, gentle, and stable vitamin C derivative.
