Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is one of the most proven skincare ingredients. For Bangladeshi skin specifically, it addresses the top concerns: dark spots, uneven skin tone, dullness, and sun damage.
Benefits of Vitamin C Serum
- Brightening — reduces dullness caused by Dhaka pollution
- Dark spot fading — targets hyperpigmentation (common in South Asian skin)
- Sun protection boost — enhances sunscreen effectiveness by 4-8x
- Collagen production — anti-aging from age 25+
- Antioxidant — fights free radical damage from pollution and UV

Common Questions
Can I use Vitamin C in Bangladesh's heat?
Yes, but store the bottle in your fridge or a dark, cool cabinet. Heat accelerates oxidation.
How long to see results?
Brightening: 2-4 weeks. Dark spots: 6-12 weeks. Be patient.
Can I use it with retinol?
Use vitamin C in the morning, retinol at night. Don't layer them together.

Frequently asked questions
What does a vitamin C serum do?
Vitamin C is an antioxidant that helps fade dark spots, even out skin tone and brighten dullness over time, and supports protection against daily sun and pollution damage. It works best used in the morning under sunscreen.
When should I apply vitamin C serum?
In the morning, after cleansing/toning and before moisturizer and sunscreen. It pairs especially well with sunscreen for daytime protection. Introduce it slowly if your skin is sensitive.
Can I use vitamin C and niacinamide together?
Yes — despite the old myth, modern formulas of vitamin C and niacinamide can be used together safely and are often combined. If your skin is very reactive, you can use vitamin C in the morning and niacinamide at night.
Which vitamin C serum is easier on sensitive skin?
A gentler vitamin C derivative like ascorbyl glucoside, found in products such as The Ordinary Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12% Brightening Serum, tends to be easier on sensitive skin than pure ascorbic acid. Patch-test any new vitamin C serum before applying it to your full face.
Does a vitamin C serum turning yellow or orange mean it's fake?
No, a shift from pale to deeper yellow or orange is normal oxidation and not a sign of a counterfeit. If it turns dark brown or smells sharply different, though, the serum has lost potency and should be replaced.
