Vitamin C serums are a holy-grail product for glowing, even-toned skin but how do you know if yours is actually doing its job? At Cathy Doll, we believe in results you can see and feel. Here’s your simple guide to knowing whether your Vitamin C serum is working, common reasons it may not, and how to maximize your glow.
Signs Your Vitamin C Serum Is Working
Notice these positive changes:
-
Week 1–2: Skin feels hydrated, fresher, and less dull.
-
Week 2–4: Brighter tone, fading of early dark spots, reduced redness.
-
Week 4–8: Smoother texture, pores and fine lines appear less visible, skin looks more radiant overall.
-
After 3 months: Significant fading of pigmentation, stronger barrier, and long-term glow.
Why Your Serum May Not Be Working?
If results aren’t showing up, here are the likely reasons:
-
Weak or unsuitable formulation – Very low concentration or the wrong type of Vitamin C might not give noticeable results.
-
Bad storage – Vitamin C breaks down if exposed to light or air. If your serum has turned dark yellow or brown, it may have oxidized.
-
Inconsistent use – Skipping days or using it rarely will delay results.
-
Skipping sunscreen – Sun exposure can undo all the brightening benefits.
-
Overloading actives – Using too many strong acids or retinoids alongside Vitamin C can cause irritation, making it hard to see progress.
How to Use It for Best Results?
-
Apply to freshly cleansed skin, before moisturizer.
-
Use 2–3 drops, gently pressing it into the skin.
-
Always follow with sunscreen in the daytime.
-
Store in a cool, dark place with the cap tightly closed.
-
Start 2–3 times per week if you’re a beginner, then increase as your skin adjusts.
