I’m 16M and have a few small dark spots and fine lines on my forehead, my nose also has noticeable sebaceous filaments. I’ve heard that vitamin C helps with all of these things, so is this $6 serum worth picking up for my skin? I also wanted to ask, should you put your chemical sunscreen before or after your serum? This has always been confusing to me because people are saying that chemical sunscreen needs to be used first so it can soak into the skin, but then wouldn’t the serum not be able to penetrate the pores?

I came across this Garnier Vitamin C serum cream and it has spf 40. I am looking for a daily cream that brightens my face because my sunscreen and moisturizer are making my skin look oily and dull.

My friend recommended this product to me. I did use one box of this back in 2015 (or maybe 2017) but I don't remember what this did to my skin. I discontinued because my mother said we were already investing too much on a sunscreen. So, I don't remember what I felt about this.

I tried searching about the ingredients and I'm still clueless if it's the right choice.

Here's the ingredient list. I saw ingredients that are mentioned in this side like niacinamide. Please take a look and guide me 🙏

It seems like the product isn't suitable for your skin. When I was looking for a Vitamin C serum locally available, I was keen on buying this serum as well since it's so cheap. But after reading a lot of reviews, I decided not to. Many reviewers had a similar experience to yours.

I went for Melano CC in the end, which is significantly more expensive but worth the money. You might want to consider it if you're looking for an alternative.

Generally it's better to use harsher actives like vit C and salicylic acid separately, but I don't know the concentrations or how sensitive your skin is. That serum does also have alcohol and fragrance, which might be irritating, but again it depends on your skin and your routine.

It might work well for you - it does have some good ingredients - so I'd say give it a try but maybe start out by using it every other night (or less) without any other actives, and use a good basic moisturiser after.

Last year I used minimalist vitamin c serum. Like an idiot, instead of slowly incorporating it into my routine I immediately started using it daily. At first I got the glow, everything was fine, after a week my skin couldn't take it anymore. Pimples popped up one after another. Painful pimples. It took 2 months for my skin to heal. Ever since then Vitamin C scares me. BUT now I want to face my fear!!!! (Srry for being dramatic) plus I heard vitamin c +sunscreen in daytime routine gives better protection.... So hear I am. Please give me advice. Which is the best vitamin c serum in your opinion? Btw I'm oily skinned, living in a humid climate
