vit c best used in the morning?

Since vit c is more effective when paired with sunscreen(bestie duo) does it mean you should only apply it during AM routines? PS: so glad that this discussion clarfied all of my questions and misunderstandings. Hope the comments will also help others with the same concern, thank u ❤️

Well generally, you can apply it even in your PM routine. It's fine. It's just people mostly avoid using Vit C at night is to avoid complications, because that's when they apply their actives like Aha, Bha and Retinol. Hope this helps!

Super agree with this one! Because at morning you tend to use less and that's when you should maximize using Vit. C since it's pretty irritating to some people. Using them at night is okay too but you risk the chance of irritation due to using many actives.

No you don’t need need to ONLY apply. It’s much more beneficial in morning but you stoll get some benefits from using it at night, or you can use it’s twice a day.

It’s not bad to use at night but it’s just much more beneficial to use during the day as it helps to prevent damage from free radicals and that benefit is kind of wasted if used at night.
