Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use a vitamin C and salicylic acid serum if I have oily, acne-prone skin?
A: Yes, this combination is ideal for oily and breakout-prone skin. Salicylic acid helps clear pores and reduce blemishes while vitamin C brightens and evens skin tone, addressing two common concerns in one step.
Q: Should I use this serum in the morning or at night?
A: Either works, but many people prefer to use acid-containing serums in the evening. If using in the morning, always follow with a broad-spectrum SPF to protect your skin from sun sensitivity.
