FAQ

  • What skin types is this serum suitable for?

    This formula is safe for all skin types—dry, oily, sensitive, and everything in between. It's non-comedogenic, which means it shouldn't clog pores. And it's even accepted by the National Eczema Association, which means it's been vetted for sensitive, eczema-prone skin.

  • Can I combine vitamin C with other active ingredients (retinol, AHAs, niacinamide, etc.)?

    You can—but you might not need to. Each pump delivers vitamin C, peptides, humectants, and antioxidants—doing the work of several serums in one. If you still want to use retinol or acids, alternate: vitamin C in the morning, those at night.

  • Is this vitamin C serum OK for daily use long-term, or should I cycle it?

    You can absolutely use it daily. It's made to be gentle enough for consistent, long-term use—even if you're sensitive.

  • Is this safe to use during pregnancy and breastfeeding?

    Vitamin C is generally considered safe to use during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but if you have specific concerns, it's always a good idea to check with your doctor.

Reviews

I typically dislike using vitamin

"I typically dislike using vitamin c products because they are irritating- not the case with this one. I’ve only been using it for a few weeks but so far, so good:"

— Twyla b. (5/5)

Until this Vitamin C serum

"Until this Vitamin C serum I have not been able to use Vitamin C serums, other brands have always caused me to react, but Skinfix Vitamin C is gentle on my skin - no reactions at all. I haven't used it enough to really see a huge difference in my skin, but it does seem to feel smoother."

— Brenda S. (5/5)

I looove this brighten +

"I looove this brighten + firm cream! I am surprised by how much is dispensed compared to my other skin fix products but it just goes on so smoothly and doesn’t make my skin feel oily at all. It’s really refreshing. I have a lot of freckles and sun damage. I feel like I’m already noticing a difference in my sun spots and my face is looks more even in color."

— Alysia O. (5/5)

I love The Brighten +

"I love The Brighten + Firm 15 % Vitamin C Serum, I love the consistency of the product and the radiant glow it delivers. I do wish it came in a refillable size as I use it all the time. Highly recommend this product."

— Catherine R. (5/5)

Love Love Love

"Love this Vitamin C Serum!! I have Extremely sensitive skin and typically I have an adjustment period where I react before my skin adjusts, not with this. It instantly hydrated my skin, I have noticed dark/red spots lightening overtime. I have been using this for 4 months now and ran out recently, I can't wait to get my order."

— Laura (5/5)

Not suitable for people with Vitamin C senstivity!

"I had high hope for this serum even though in the past I have had bad experiences with Vitamin C. Supposedly this serum is appropriate for people with Vitamin C sensitive skin. However, after three days of using it, I broke out into a red rash all over my face. Skinfix was great and refunded my money, but I was still left with a rash that took 10 days to go away. It sounds like this product works great for many people, but if you are sensitive to Vitamin C I would avoid it!"

— Alix (1/5)

I really liked this product!

"I really liked this product! I feel like it brightened my skin and also acted as a primer on my skin. The smell was distinct and a bit odd for me, but loved the product overall!"

— Liza C. (5/5)

I noticed a difference immediately.

"I noticed a difference immediately. My skin felt very dry and dehydrating prior to using SkinFix products. My skin feels like it is glowing now!"

— Shannon S. (5/5)

Gentle and effective

"This vitamin C serum is extremely gentle on the skin and feels so comfortable to wear daily. It absorbs beautifully and leaves the skin feeling smooth, hydrated, and radiant. I especially love how well it works on brown skin ,it enhances glow and evens out the complexion without irritation. It’s on the pricier side, but honestly, the quality and results make it worth every penny. A great choice if you want a brightening serum that’s both effective and skin-friendly."

— Annette S. (5/5)

My new favorite Vit C

"I never thought I'd like an oil-based vitamin c serum but I was so wrong. This serum has helped diminish my fine lines, even my skin tone, diminish the redness from my PIE, and give my skin a beautiful glow. I am very acne prone and on the oily side, so I was very hesitant. SO glad I gave this a chance."

— Tyler (5/5)

Q&A

Is this product good for 85 yo dry skin
Hi Irene, Vitamin C is a powerhouse antioxidant that helps brighten dullness, fade visible dark spots, and firm the look of skin over time. It also helps defend against free radicals that can make spots look darker and lines look more pronounced—so you're protecting while you treat. We hope this helps!
Can I pair this with Azelaic acid in the morning? I currently use tretinoin 0.05% at night so I can't pair anything with tret at night due to irritation. If I can pair azelaic acid (15% in my case), should I use this serum first and then the azlaic acid? Or should I use the acid first, then this vitamin c serum?
Hi Prithvi, Each pump delivers vitamin C, peptides, humectants, and antioxidants—doing the work of several serums in one. You could alternate days - one day Vit C then next day Azelaic acid? But please confirm with your prescribing doctor to ensure these ingredients are right for you. We do not recommend layering these actives at the same time. Thanks!
Can I apply this serum to the under eye area? In currently avoiding that area and just going up to and around the orbital bone
Hi Prithvi, Thank you for reaching out and for your question. This serum isn’t made for the delicate eye area, so keep it on the orbital bone only (not the lids or too close to the lash line). If you're looking for eye-specific benefits, we recommend trying our Triple Lipid Eye Treatment. Thanks!
Can I use the Brighten + Firm 15% Vitamin C Serum with the Mad About Skincare copper peptide serum? Thanks.
Hi Melissa, You can—but you might not need to. Each pump delivers vitamin C, peptides, humectants, and antioxidants—doing the work of several serums in one. If you still want to use retinol or acids, alternate: vitamin C in the morning, those at night. We hope this helps!
Would the vit c need to be refrigerated
Hi Gale, We don't recommend putting Brighten + Firm Vit C Serum in the fridge. Storing it in a cool, dark place is enough to help prolong the formula’s potency—especially if you live in a warm or humid climate.
Can I use vitamin c serum with Exo Ecotin baume
Hi Ruthann, We recommend alternating the time of day you use them: vitamin C in the morning to protect and brighten, and Exo Baume at night to support skin renewal. Both formulas are packed full of high-impact ingredients, so you probably don't need to layer them to see results. But if you want to, that's safe, too!
