Word Of Advice

When using hyaluronic acid and vitamin C together in your skincare routine, it is important to introduce each product gradually to monitor skin response and to patch test for any adverse reactions. Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher daily, as vitamin C can increase sun sensitivity. Ensure you're well-hydrated to boost hyaluronic acid's moisturizing benefits, and follow product usage instructions carefully, typically applying vitamin C in the morning and hyaluronic acid twice daily.

If you have sensitive skin or any skin conditions, consulting with a dermatologist before incorporating new active ingredients is advisable for tailored advice and to avoid complications.
