Vitamin C

Vitamin C is the best known brightening antioxidant in skincare. It helps fade dark spots and post-acne marks, defends skin against pollution and UV damage, and supports a clearer, more even tone. In Pakistan's sun and pollution it is most useful as a morning step, worn under sunscreen. Discover Novelax Pharma's Vitamin C serums and brightening creams.

Frequently asked questions

When should I apply Vitamin C — morning or night?
Morning, on clean skin, before moisturizer and sunscreen. Its antioxidant protection is most useful during the day, when skin is exposed to UV and pollution.

Do I still need sunscreen with Vitamin C?
Yes, and it matters more than the serum itself. Vitamin C reduces damage but does not block UV. Without daily SPF the same spots re-darken, which is why brightening routines without sunscreen tend to stall. Pair it with Neoliva SPF 60.

How long does Vitamin C take to work?
Skin looks brighter within 2 to 3 weeks; dark spots fade over 8 to 12 weeks, because pigment sits deeper and clears with skin turnover.

Can I use Vitamin C with Niacinamide?
Yes. The old warning about the two cancelling out came from unstable lab conditions, not finished formulas. Apply the serum first and the cream after, or use one in the morning and the other at night.

Is Vitamin C suitable for sensitive skin?
Start every other morning and build up to daily. Patch-test on the inner arm first, and apply to dry rather than damp skin if you notice tingling.
