Vitamin C Serums Australia 

If you want to take your skincare routine to the next level, you need to include Vitamin C serums Australia to your arsenal. One of the most common misconceptions is that serums and moisturisers are interchangeable and that choosing one is enough to achieve your most desirable results. But the truth is, these two skincare products are complementary, making each one more effective in improving the appearance of your skin.

What does Vitamin C serum do?

Although you are getting the best Vitamin C in your diet, only a small amount goes straight to your skin. That being said, using Vitamin C serums Australia regularly ensures that your skin is getting the right amount of nourishment. Think of it as a topical product with high concentrations of antioxidants that can aid in making your skin appear smooth, even, and radiant with regular use.

Serums leave out most of the fluids, fillers, and thickeners, so you’re left with a high concentration of active ingredients. With their antioxidant formulation, you’ll only need a pea-sized amount to cover your entire face; this is why when you buy Vitamin C serum, most brands come in pump bottles or have medicine droppers to dispense just a small amount of the product. 

Vitamin C serums Australia are made of small molecules, allowing the skin to absorb their active ingredients quickly and effectively. This ‘mechanism’ is a bit different from moisturisers, which form a barrier on your skin to help seal in moisture. For this reason, serums and moisturisers work great when used together. 

What are the benefits of using Vitamin C serums?

Even if you have oily skin, quality Vitamin C serums Australia should be included in your skincare routine. Because they have a lightweight, fast-absorbing formula, they won’t leave your face shiny and greasy or leave behind a sticky residue. 

Pretty much all skin types (e.g., oily, dry, and normal) – can benefit from Vitamin C serums Australia because of the wide range of benefits they offer. However, ageing and dry skin can particularly benefit from these products because of their revitalising properties. 

Anyone who has mature skin or dry complexion or simply wants to have radiant, brighter, and even skin texture should never skimp on Vitamin C products such as serum. 

How to apply a Vitamin C serum?

As with any skincare product, Vitamin C serums Australia are only as good as how you apply them. You should follow the proper order of products to ensure that the skin absorbs their active ingredients properly.

The general rule is to apply serums and moisturisers from the thinnest to the thickest (don’t forget that they must be applied on clean skin, so cleanse properly). That being said, serums always precede moisturisers (and creams) because of their lightweight formula that is easily absorbed by the skin. Next, follow it up with moisturisers, which help to replenish the skin’s natural moisture barrier on the surface and lock in moisture, thereby preventing excessive dryness and dehydration.

Follow this step-by-step guide on how to apply Vitamin C serums Australia. 

1. After washing your face with your favourite cleanser, pat your face dry with a soft microfibre towel (a bit of dampness is okay if you don’t have sensitive skin) before applying a pea-sized amount of Vitamin C serum, patting it gently over your skin with your fingers. 
2. Once your skin has absorbed the serum, follow it up with your favourite moisturiser. The general rule is to wait at least a minute in between products. 
3. For your morning skincare routine, always finish it off with a UV sunscreen with SPF 30 or SPF 50. 

To reap the full benefits of Vitamin C serums Australia, make sure that you include them in your morning and night-time skincare routine. 

Now that you know the importance of serums to your skin, the benefits of these topical products, and how to apply them correctly, the next step is to visit Ultraceuticals and choose from our wide range of clinically tested products formulated to help transform your skin in 90 days.
