Why choose a vitamin C serum?
Vitamin C is popular in skincare because it helps the skin look fresher, more even, and more radiant. A well-formulated serum is quickly absorbed, making it ideal as an active step after cleansing and before your day cream and sun protection (SPF). Want to know more about antioxidants and why vitamin C works? Read High-Tech AOX: our super antioxidant (https://sierosanto.be/nl-eu/blogs/nieuws/high-tech-aox-onze-superantioxidant).Many customers choose a vitamin C serum when they want to support their skin with:
- Dull skin - for a fresher, brighter appearance
- Uneven skin tone - for visible color differences or pigmentation spots
- Fine lines - as part of a routine focused on healthy aging and anti-aging care
- Daily antioxidant protection - as extra support in the morning routine

What to look for when choosing a vitamin C serum?
Not every vitamin C serum feels or works the same. The right choice depends on your skin, your sensitivity, and the rest of your routine. That's why it's smart to look beyond just the name on the packaging.
Texture and skin feel
If you like a light, fast-absorbing formula, a serum is often a good choice. This is especially practical in the morning, as you can easily apply your cream and SPF afterwards without a heavy layer on the skin.
Skin sensitivity
If you have sensitive skin, a mild and well-structured routine is extra important. In that case, it pays to choose a quality formula and build up slowly, instead of immediately starting with a too intense product.
Combination with your routine
A vitamin C serum works best in a simple routine. If you already use multiple active products, balance is important to keep your skin comfortable. A common approach is C during the day and A in the evening.

How best to use vitamin C serum?
Vitamin C serum is usually applied in the morning to cleansed skin. Apply a few drops to your face and neck and finish with a day cream and conclude with Medik8 Sun Protection (SPF) (https://sierosanto.be/nl-eu/collections/medik8-zonbescherming-spf). This combination fits well within a routine focused on protection, glow, and a well-cared for, healthy appearance.If you're new to vitamin C or have sensitive skin, start slowly. This way, you can better assess how your skin reacts and keep your routine pleasant and manageable.
