Frequently Asked Questions

When should I stop using it?

If you experience severe redness, burning, peeling, or breakouts in areas where you never normally break out, stop immediately. Prioritize barrier repair before introducing any actives again.

Do I need to use it every day?

Vitamin C is generally suitable for regular use, but the ideal frequency depends on the product formulation and your skin's tolerance. Follow the product directions and reduce frequency if irritation develops.
