Morning vs Evening Vitamin C: When Should You Apply It?
Discover the best time to apply vitamin C, morning or night, and how to use it with serum and cream for glowing, even-toned skin.
Morning vs Evening Vitamin C Routine
Vitamin C can be applied both morning and evening, but each timing offers different benefits for skin health and radiance.

Why Vitamin C is Ideal for Morning Use
In the morning, vitamin C:
- Protects against free radicals from UV exposure and pollution
- Brightens the skin for a radiant start to the day
- Works synergistically under SPF to prevent dark spots
Tip: Layer your Vitamin C Face Serum first, followed by Vitamin C Face Cream, then SPF for complete protection.

Evening Benefits of Vitamin C
At night, vitamin C:
- Supports collagen production while your skin regenerates
- Reduces the appearance of dullness and uneven tone
- Helps repair oxidative damage from daily stressors

Layering Serum and Cream for AM & PM
For best results:
- AM: Cleanse, Vitamin C Serum, Vitamin C Face Cream & SPF
- PM: Cleanse, Anti-Ageing Eye Cream, Anti-Ageing Facial Oil, Vitamin C Face Cream or Bio-Retinol Night Cream
This approach maximises brightening, hydration and long-term skin health.
