Vitamin C Serum for Different Skin Types

Vitamin C Serum for Sensitive or Dry Skin

Vitamin C serum is suitable for dry and sensitive skin types. However, a vitamin C serum for the face that’s too highly concentrated may cause irritation. Many of the No7’s serums are infused with lower concentrations of vitamin C and combined with moisturizing and soothing ingredients like hyaluronic acid to help avoid adverse reactions on sensitive skin.

Does Vitamin C Help Acne?

Vitamin C serum for the face is suitable for blemish-prone skin, and can help to unblock pores and minimize the appearance of hyperpigmentation.

Vitamin C Serum For Oily Skin

Vitamin C serum is beneficial for oily skin thanks to its moisturizing properties and lightweight formula. Vitamin C helps to protect the skin barrier, encouraging moisture retention.
