Vitamin C and Retinol are both highly effective when it comes to product ingredients that are essential for smoothing the look of wrinkles, fine lines, laughter and frown lines. Retinol and Vitamin C also help to brighten the complexion and work to diminish the look of hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and keep the skin looking plump.  

Benefits of Vitamin C 

Vitamin C has a multitude of benefits when it comes to skin care. Vitamin C can benefit skin with its brightening, toning, fading and anti-aging benefits. Whether you have acne scars, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots or overall uneven skin, Vitamin C can benefit your skin. If dealing with old or new scars, hyperpigmentation or dark spots, Vitamin C works to diminish the look of uneven skin, while brightening those spots.

For fine lines and wrinkles, Vitamin C helps to address anti-aging concerns. Many of our dermatologist recommended, clean beauty solutions in our clinically proven Vitamin C skincare line, contain stabilized Vitamin C which is a highly potent form of Vitamin C that is less likely to degrade than un-stabilized Vitamin C, making it even more potent when it comes to brightening the skin tone, and diminishing the appearance of dark spots.

How to Use Vitamin C and Retinol safely 

 

Vitamin C and Retinol are both very powerful ingredients. Vitamin C is typically used in the day, for its benefits in fighting free radicals. The Vitamin C Concentrated Serum with Hyaluronic Acid is an effective product to use during the day. This serum helps to brighten the look of skin while helping to retexturize the skin. Retinol is traditionally used in the evening as it can cause some sensitivity to sunlight.  Our Anti-Aging Regenerative Night Cream with Vitamin A and an Antioxidant Blend is highly effective at helping to refine skin and diminish signs of aging.  Due to the potency of Vitamin C and Retinol, if you do combine these two ingredients,  

it is best to do so if you do not have sensitive skin and if your skin is already use to regular usage of both ingredients.
