For a first vitamin routine, the Most Loved Trio (toner, vitamin C serum and overnight mask) is the easiest start. If you only want the serum and mask, choose the Freshly Juiced Vitamin C Drop + E Mask Set. For visible pores and bounce, the Vitamin PDRN Duo; for that plus a prep pad, the Vitamin Skin Barrier Boost Trio. The Dark Spot Correcting Duo pairs the vitamin C serum with a cooling eye gel.

Using vitamin C in winter
- Apply vitamin C to dry or barely damp skin; it can tingle more on wet skin in dry weather.
- If it stings, use it every other morning for a few weeks.
- Follow with moisturizer and sunscreen in the morning.
- Don't stack the prep pads and the Vitamin Drop in one routine at first if your skin is sensitive.

What to expect, and how to store vitamin C
A vitamin routine is a slow build. Comfort and a fresher look can come quickly, but a brighter, more even look usually takes several weeks of consistent use alongside daily sunscreen. Keep vitamin C serums capped, away from heat and direct light, and use them within their period after opening (12 months for the Vitamin Drop). If a pure vitamin C serum turns noticeably darker, see has my vitamin C serum oxidized?.
A sample routine with the Most Loved Trio
- Morning: Supple Preparation Unscented Toner → Freshly Juiced Vitamin Drop → moisturizer → sunscreen.
- Evening: toner → your usual serum or moisturizer → Vitamin E Mask as the last step two or three nights a week.
