When should I apply vitamin C serum?

- The best time to apply this serum is in your morning routine! Vitamin C's natural ability to protect the skin from pollution and free radicals is best taken advantage of with day-use!

Are there any Truly products that shouldn't be used at the same time as vitamin C?

- Our 1% retinol serum should be used in a separate part of your routine, as the effects of both serums together weaken with mixed application. Since photosensitive retinol must be applied at night only, you will find it easy to break these up between AM + PM!

How does this vitamin C compare to others on the market?

- In lab testing, the Ethyl Ascorbic Acid used in this formula significantly outperformed the higher percentage of comparative vitamin C serum, while also producing over a 6% increase in collagen synthesis during testing, concluding that the lower concentration was more effective in treating skin conditions than higher percentages. Unlike L-Ascorbic Acid, which can become unstable and require higher percentage to account for degradation over time, Ethyl Ascorbic Acid does not require additional excess of the ingredient to achieve desired results. The choice to use Ethyl Ascorbic Acid was based on the recommended usage rates by manufacturers to optimize the performance of this ingredient, and minimize the potential for irritation from using this ingredient in excess. This formula has been scientifically proven to aid in a visible decrease of hyperpigmentation, while improving overall complexion using Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, concluded to be the most stable and non-reactive vitamin C derivative available on the market according to manufacturer and laboratory supplied data. Due to its enhanced stability, it is considered the superior vitamin C derivative to achieve enhanced, if not superior results in a formula designed for daily use.
