Can Vitamin C E Ferulic be applied directly to the skin?

Yes, Vitamin C E Ferulic can be applied directly to the skin. It is formulated as a finished serum base designed for topical application to provide potent antioxidant benefits.

Key Characteristics

• High Potency: Contains 15% Pure Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid), which is the most effective form that the skin can utilize immediately without conversion.
• Synergistic Stability: The combination of Vitamin E (0.7%) and Ferulic Acid (0.5%) works to stabilize the Vitamin C and enhance its antioxidant protection against environmental damage.

Usage Recommendations

1. Application: Apply a few drops to clean, dry skin in the morning or evening. If used in the morning, it provides excellent protection against UV-induced free radicals.
2. Layering: Follow with a moisturizer. If you have sensitive skin, you can mix it with a soothing moisturizer or a Vitamin B5 (Panthenol) serum to reduce potential stinging.
3. Sun Protection: Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day when using Vitamin C, as it helps boost the efficacy of your sun protection.
4. Patch Test: Due to the high concentration of Ascorbic Acid (15%), which has a naturally low pH, some users may experience a slight tingling sensation. It is recommended to perform a patch test on a small area before full-face application.
