How to Use Vitamin C Cream
- Cleanse: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser and pat dry.
- Apply the Cream: Use clean fingertips to apply a small amount of the vitamin C cream to your face and neck. Avoid the eye area.
- Follow Up: For best results, follow with a moisturizer and sunscreen during the day, as vitamin C can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight.

- Avoid Metal Utensils: Use glass or plastic when mixing to prevent oxidation of the vitamin C.
Precautions
- Sun Sensitivity: Always use sunscreen during the day when using vitamin C products to protect your skin.
