What is the best practice for using vitamin C ?

Started using it but I started reading up some forums and it seems that Vitamin C can’t just simply be mixed and matched? And I’m confused on how to use it with other skincare products. Could you guys let me know how to move forward from this?

Vitamin C can cause irritation when mixed with other actives for some. Depends on your skin type. Don’t mix with AHA/BHA or retinol with Vitamin C in the same routine. vitamin C and copper peptides can impact how effective they are so to have the best potent skincare don’t mix these two either Other than that it’s just on your skin tolerance

I never had any bad reactions mixing vitamin C with any of my products. Even tretinoin at night. The only thing is that it might be a little irritating for some people at the beginning so it's good to introduce it slowly - 2-3 times a week at first and if everything is ok then go for everyday. And personally I always use it first, then all my other skincare 😘

Don’t use with other actives in the same routine, a great thing to do is use it in the morning and pair it up with a sunscreen after, research has shown that these 2 things may highten each other’s effectiveness
