Oh my! Beginning with a vitamin C serum of 20% concentration is mighty strong for someone with sensitive skin!!
If you absolutely have to use this serum, I suggest a drop, not dropper full (!!) every night & follow up with a soothing moisturizer. Begin with using the serum twice a week for 2 weeks & then increase to thrice weekly for another 2 weeks.
Better to go at it slowly than risk damaging your skin barrier. 💓

You can stay off at night and once your skin tolerates, switch to AM use.
Vitamin C is best used for its antioxidant, collagen boosting, photoprotective effects in the day

thank you for this! I plan to switch to AM once my skin got used to it already and I have the proper sunscreen for protections :)

You could always start with 1 or 2 drops combined in your toner so that way it's "watered down" until you build up tolerance. 20% is too high for starting out.

That is an option but not sure how effective it will be. Give it a try and see how it goes.

It's ok to use it only in the pm routine. But as others said, the concentration is high, so I'd recommend mixing it with a toner or a hydrating serum. It will oxidize very fast. I don't think you will be able to finish the bottle before it's oxidized, so you can share it with someone in your family.
