Asked by: nut888 On: January 12, 2017 Product Type: Cosmetics

Question

Is it safe and effective to use a serum or cream containing 15% Vitamin C during the day, and can it be used together with other cosmetic products without issues?

Answer

Based on the information provided:

  • Using a serum or cream with 15% Vitamin C during the day is generally safe for your skin and should not cause problems.
  • However, other cosmetic ingredients used alongside it might react with the Vitamin C, causing it to degrade and lose its effectiveness.
  • This degradation affects the product's performance but does not harm your skin.
  • It is typically recommended to use Vitamin C at a different time of day or allow a gap between applying other products to maintain its stability.
  • If you plan to use it with other specific products, checking their ingredient lists can help determine potential compatibility issues.
