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.
