What does this serum actually do?

It combines vitamin C with hyaluronic acid, niacinamide and vitamin E to brighten dull skin and add moisture. Expect a gradual glow rather than fast wrinkle removal.

How does it compare with a pure vitamin C serum?

It is a multi-active blend, so it is gentler and more hydrating than a high-strength vitamin C concentrate. Brightening is likely slower but irritation is less likely.

When should I use it?

It is a day serum, so apply it in the morning before moisturizer and sunscreen. Vitamin C works best paired with daily sun protection.

Can I use it with retinol or acids?

Yes, but introduce it slowly and watch for stinging, since niacinamide and vitamin C together can irritate sensitive skin. Alternate with strong actives if you react.

Is it good for dry skin?

Hyaluronic acid and vitamin E give it more moisture than most vitamin C serums, which suits dry or dehydrated skin. Very dry skin may still want a richer cream on top.
