Vitamin C is very unstable element and when in the left in the open air or a partially used bottle it begins to turn brown or oxidizes rapidly rendering it ineffective. Use Vitamin C for skin as an excellent addition to your daily skin care routine.

I don't think there is any such thing. Basically Vitamin C is acidic and it will make sensitive skin feel uncomfortable. You can lower the concentration of Vitamin C and get a corresponding lower level of acidity, but then of course, you will also get a lower effect.

I would suggest you try another product/ingredient that will achieve the same result without the sensitive issue. What is your goal in using Vitamin C?

I was thinking that I need it to build collagen but I have been working with copper peptides from Skin Biology for about 9 months and I don't rerally think I need the vitamine c now. My skin is looking great!

Thank you :D

Oops, I didn't notice that your question was from back in April.

Good to hear you found something that works for you. I am a big fan of peptide serums, but I have never tried copper peptides. Maybe I will give them a try someday.

You can use L-ascorbic acid’. L-ascorbic acid is the traditional, age old version of vitamin C, its skin benefits are very well studied as its been hanging around skincare town for a long-ass time.

I prefer to stick to derivatives like MAP, THDA or SAP rather than LAA for my sensitive skin.
