Vitamin C

Ingredient

How should I read vitamin c on a label?

Vitamin C appears in different forms in topical cosmetic products. The headline percentage and the ingredient form are separate pieces of information.

Form, directions, then the number

A larger number is not our definition of a better match. Before exploring a vitamin-C product, check the form, directions and the rest of your plan. The profile does not automatically add concentrated treatment-style products to a beginner or reactive-feeling routine.

Try this

  • Read the specific formula and directions.
  • Keep concentration separate from personal suitability.
  • Avoid adding several unfamiliar active-focused steps together.
