Expertly formulated to deliver visible results using scientific and objective ingredients.
Using the COSRX Vitamin C 23% Serum with Vitamin E & Hyaluronic Acid requires a careful application process to maximize its benefits and minimize any potential irritation. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to use it effectively:
-
Patch Test: Before incorporating the serum into your routine, perform a patch test. Apply a small amount of the serum on a discreet area of your skin, such as the inner forearm, and wait 24 hours to ensure you don't experience any adverse reactions like redness, itching, or irritation.
-
Cleanse Your Face: Begin with a clean face. Use a gentle cleanser to remove any dirt, oil, and impurities from your skin. Pat your face dry with a clean towel.
-
Tone (Optional): If you use a toner in your skincare routine, apply it after cleansing and allow it to dry before applying the serum. Toning helps balance the skin's pH levels and prepares it for better absorption of subsequent products.
-
Apply the Serum: Dispense a small amount of the COSRX Vitamin C 23% Serum onto your fingertips or palm. Start with a pea-sized amount, as a little goes a long way.
-
Apply to Face: Gently massage the serum onto your face and neck using upward and outward motions. Be careful to avoid the delicate eye area. Allow the serum to absorb fully into your skin before applying any other products.
-
Wait Before Layering: Give the serum a few minutes to absorb into your skin before applying any additional products. This allows the vitamin C to work effectively without interference from other skincare ingredients.
-
Follow with Moisturizer: Once the serum has absorbed, follow up with your regular moisturizer to seal in hydration and further nourish your skin.
-
Sun Protection (Daytime): Vitamin C can increase skin sensitivity to the sun, so it's crucial to apply sunscreen as the last step in your morning skincare routine. Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.
-
Frequency: Start by using the COSRX Vitamin C 23% Serum once every other day to allow your skin to acclimate to the product. Gradually increase usage to once daily or as tolerated by your skin.
-
Storage: Vitamin C serums are sensitive to light and air, so store the product in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the bottle is tightly closed to prevent oxidation, which can diminish the efficacy of the vitamin C.
Consistency is key when using vitamin C serums. Incorporate it into your skincare routine regularly to see the best results in brightening your complexion, fading dark spots, and improving overall skin tone and texture. If you experience any irritation or discomfort, reduce the frequency of use or discontinue use altogether and consult a dermatologist
