Vitamin C is used mainly in the morning, under sunscreen, to support a brighter-looking complexion. Formulas vary in strength and texture, so a gentler product is a good place to begin.

Apply a few drops to clean, dry skin, let it settle, then follow with moisturizer and sunscreen. Store the bottle away from heat and light, and stop using it if your skin stings or turns red.
