Vitamin C is the most wanted ingredient in the skincare world, touted for its brightening and anti-aging benefits. But with all the hype, there's also a lot of confusion. Let's clear the air and get you the real scoop on incorporating Vitamin C into your skincare routine.

Myth #1: Vitamin C is Only for Certain Skin Types

This isn't entirely true! While some forms of vitamin C can be irritating, there's a form for almost everyone. 3-O-ethyl Ascorbic Acid although is  more potent and stable form of Vitamin C, it can be more sensitive skin prone. At Juice Beauty, we opted for this powerful ingredient to formulate our latest glowing innovation – C-Boost72 Hydrating Whipped Cream with 20% Vitamin C Niacinamide Glow Complex.

Myth #2: Vitamin C Makes Skin Sensitive to Sun

Sunshine and Vitamin C can be a good team! Vitamin C is an antioxidant, potentially helping shield your skin from sun damage. However, sunscreen is still your BFF - Vitamin C doesn't replace it. Try Prebiotix SPF 45 Glow Daily Multi-Tasking Moisturizer from Juice Beauty with Mineral Zinc. Remember to reapply sunscreen every two hours or more often if you're sweating or swimming.

Myth #3: The More Vitamin C, the Better

While it's a powerful ingredient, more isn't always better. Higher concentrations can irritate. Generally, 10-20% is a good range to look for in moisturizers. You might love our newest innovation, C-Boost72 Hydrating Whipped Cream, which contains 20% Vitamin C Niacinamide Glow Complex.

Myth #4: Vitamin C Serums and Moisturizers Expire Quickly

Some forms of Vitamin C can degrade in light and heat. Look for airtight, dark packaging and store it in a cool, dry place. However, most modern formulas are stable and don't necessarily need refrigeration. C-Boost72 Hydrating Whipped Cream from Juice Beauty has been formulated with more stable Vitamin C - 3-O-ethyl Ascorbic Acid.

Myth #5: Vitamin C Can't Be Used with Other Products

Vitamin C can be a team player! However, it can potentially interact with certain ingredients at high concentrations. Initially, avoid combining it with direct AHAs or BHAs. Introduce products one at a time and see how your skin reacts. Try Juice Beauty Green Apple Collection, developed with Vitamin C and AHAs in one formula.

The Takeaway

Vitamin C is a powerful ingredient for brighter, healthier skin. By understanding these common myths, you can choose the right formula and reap the benefits.

Bonus Tip: Look for Vitamin C serums and moisturizers that complement your other skincare products. Hyaluronic acid can help boost hydration, while vitamin E offers additional antioxidant support.
