Key Ingredients & Benefits

The serum features a high concentration of pure Vitamin C alongside skin-soothing ingredients:

• Ceramides (1, 3, 6-II): Essential for maintaining the skin’s protective barrier, a hallmark of the CeraVe brand.

• Hyaluronic Acid: Helps improve skin hydration and moisture retention.

• Vitamin B5 (Panthenol): Works to soothe the skin and improve texture.

Comparison: Vitamin C Serum vs. PM Moisturizer

While the PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion focuses on restorative hydration at night, the Vitamin C Serum is primarily a protective and brightening treatment:

• Purpose: The PM lotion focuses on barrier repair with niacinamide; the Vitamin C serum focuses on antioxidant defense and visible radiance.

• Timing: Vitamin C is most effective when used in the morning to protect against daily environmental stressors, whereas the PM lotion is optimized for overnight recovery.

• Layering: The Vitamin C serum should be applied to clean skin before heavier lotions or creams.

How to Use

1. Cleanse: Start with a gentle face wash.

2. Apply: Apply a thin layer of the Vitamin C serum evenly to the face and neck.

3. Moisturize: Follow with your preferred moisturizer, such as the CeraVe PM lotion if using it in your evening routine.

4. Protect: Always follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen in the morning, as Vitamin C works best when shielded from the sun.
