What should you know about Drunk Elephant and vitamina C?

Vitamin C serum is a topical antioxidant commonly used for dullness, uneven colour and general support of a daytime routine. It may help reduce the look of oxidative stress from everyday exposure, but it does not replace sunscreen and cannot correct every cause of pigmentation. Formulas differ in strength, acidity and stability. Stinging, dryness or redness is more likely when the skin barrier is already irritated or when several active products are layered together.

Apply the product as directed to clean, dry skin, then follow with moisturiser and daytime sunscreen. If your skin is reactive, begin less often and test a small area before applying it broadly. Keep the container closed and stored as directed, since light, heat and air can affect some vitamin C formulas. Introduce it separately from retinoids, strong exfoliants or other potentially irritating actives until you know how your skin responds.

Stop using the serum if you develop intense burning, swelling, blistering, hives or a spreading rash. Get urgent help for facial swelling with breathing difficulty. Seek a dermatology assessment if a dark mark changes, bleeds or fails to heal rather than repeatedly treating it with cosmetic products.

Ask whether vitamin C is suitable for your skin condition, which concentration and format may be gentler, and how to combine it with your current routine. Discuss persistent pigmentation so its cause is assessed before treatment is chosen.
