Q&A

If I use this serum with other Vital C oil based serums, what order should they be applied?
Hello Michelle! You can apply the Vital C Anti-Aging Serum first and then apply the Vital C Facial Oil. You can also mix them together.
What ingredient in the serum helps with anti aging specifically? Does is have a retinol or retinoid?
This product works to fight the signs of aging due to the blend of ingredients used: Multi-vitamin C complex: A potent blend of four oil- and water-soluble forms of vitamin C for optimal stability and delivery to the skin. Helps to brighten, nourish and firm the skin’s appearance. Hyaluronic acid: A super-hydrating ingredient that holds up to 1,000 its weight in water Palmitoyl oligopeptide: A messenger peptide designed to support the appearance of skin elasticity and firmness Green tea extract: A potent antioxidant that offers defense against environmental stressors
Is this safe for acne prone skin? Other vitamin C serums break me out.
If you are looking to purchase a serum to target acne specifically we would recommend the Clear Cell Restoring Serum as this is designed for acneic prone skin.
