Getting the Most from C
Want to see for yourself whether topical C smooths away your fine lines and wrinkles? To increase your chance for success, follow the expert recommended tips below.
Store C correctly. To prevent vitamin C cream or serum from breaking down too quickly, store it in a cool, dark place, says Dr. Clark. It's okay if the cream turns honey colored or amber, she says. But if it turns dark brown or begins to smell funny, toss it.
Use a pump formula. A pump bottle seals out oxygen, which will extend the life of the product, says Dr. Clark.
Use C before Zzzs. It takes a fill hour for L ascorbic acid to properly penetrate the skin, says Dr. Clark. So rather than use a topical vitamin C product in the morning and waiting to apply your moisturizer and makeup apply it at night, before bed. If you're also using Retin A or Renova, or other alternate products, then apply topical C on your "off " nights, she says.
Keep the sunscreen flowing. While topical C seems to offer skin extra protection from the sun, it is not a sunscreen, says Dr. Price. So keep slathering on that SPF 15.
