The best Vitamin C serum for your skin

You should buy a serum with about 10-15% potency because too much vitamin C might irritate your skin.

Vitamin C is quite unstable so you should mix it with sunscreen and other ingredients if you want it to work better.

If your skin is dry, buy Vitamic C with hyaluronic acid. If your skin is oily then buy ascorbic acid type of Vitamin C. If your skin is irritated or gets irritated easily, you should stay clear of Vitamin C for a while.

The Ordinary combines hyaluronic acid to brighten skin and remove fine lines and wrinkles from your face. Even though it has a high concentration of Vitamin C the fact that it is mostly ascorbic acid prevents it from damaging the skin. The Ordinary Vitamin C serum is just N3,500.
