Vitamin C Collection

Follow this proven Vitamin C skincare routine to brighten, hydrate, and protect your skin morning and night. Use clean hands, apply products from thinnest to thickest, and introduce active ingredients gradually to avoid irritation.

Optional weekly: Vitamin C Orange Blossom & Vanilla Sugar Scrub (use on non-consecutive nights; do not combine with other strong exfoliants that same night)

Adjustment notes: if you use retinol or other targeted treatments, space them on alternate nights; always patch-test and scale up frequency gradually.

Store products in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity, and keep caps, pumps, and seals tightly closed to limit oxidation and contamination. Replace any item that develops an off smell, separates, becomes grainy, or dispenses unevenly.

Vitamin C Face Wash (liquid) — 6 to 8 months after opening
Vitamin C Toner Mist (face & body) — 6 to 9 months after opening

Vitamin C Facial Serum (20% Vitamin C) — 9 to 12 months after opening

Vitamin C Eye Serum — 9 to 12 months after opening

Vitamin C Stem Cell Hydra Gel — 9 to 12 months after opening
Vitamin C Face Moisturizer — 9 to 12 months after opening

Florida Sunshine & Vitamin C Natural Soap (bar) — 6-8 months months for best fragrance and effectiveness

Vitamin C Orange Blossom & Vanilla Sugar Scrub — 6 to 9 months after opening

Quick care notes: avoid storing products in humid areas like the shower, always use clean hands or a spatula to dispense, and when in doubt replace the product—oxidized Vitamin C loses effectiveness even if not visibly spoiled.

Apply products from thinnest to thickest and introduce new active ingredients one at a time to reduce irritation.

Cleanse with Florida Sunshine bar or Vitamin C Face Wash.

Tone with Vitamin C Toner Mist (start 1–2×/week if you use other acids).

Apply Vitamin C Facial Serum (3–4 drops).

Dab Vitamin C Eye Serum around the orbital bone.

Layer Vitamin C Stem Cell Hydra Gel (2–3 drops).

Finish with Vitamin C Face Moisturizer.

Pairing rules:

Retinol: use retinol on separate nights or reserve retinol for PM and Vitamin C for AM to reduce sensitivity.

AHAs/BHAs beyond the toner: alternate acid nights with Vitamin C nights; do not stack strong chemical exfoliants and high‑strength Vitamin C in the same evening.

Niacinamide: generally compatible with Vitamin C; if irritation occurs, separate by time of day (one AM, one PM).

General: patch-test combinations, introduce one active ingredient at a time, and reduce frequency at first sign of persistent redness or stinging.

The collection is formulated with gentle, natural botanicals and graded actives, but individual tolerance varies—take a conservative approach if you’re sensitive or acne-prone.

Practical steps:

Start slowly: use the Vitamin C Facial Serum and Stem Cell Hydra Gel every other day for 1–2 weeks before increasing frequency.

Limit the toner: because it contains glycolic acid, begin with the Vitamin C Toner Mist 1–2×/week and increase as tolerated.
Layer thin-to-thick: apply water-based products first, then gels, then creams to avoid trapping sebum.

Avoid heavy occlusives if acne-prone: choose the lighter moisturizer option and avoid pore-clogging oils.

Patch-test: apply to the jawline or inner forearm and wait 48–72 hours.

Stop and seek help: discontinue if you experience prolonged redness, burning, severe stinging, or worsening breakouts, and consult a dermatologist.

Results depend on consistency, skin type, and severity of concerns; follow the routine and monitor tolerance.

2–4 weeks: noticeable boost in surface radiance and a fresher-looking complexion from regular cleansing, serum, and hydrating steps.

6–12 weeks: more visible improvements in hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and texture as skin turnover and collagen support accumulate.

3+ months: deeper or long-standing discoloration typically requires continued use and routine adjustments for best long-term outcomes.

Optimization tips: be consistent with the daily order (cleanse → tone → serum → gel → moisturizer), limit overlapping exfoliation, and maintain good hydration and gentle care.

If no improvement after three months or if persistent irritation occurs, seek professional guidance.
