Cerave Skin Renewing Vitamin C Serum 30 ml

- Brightens and evens skin tone: 10% L-ascorbic acid to improve radiance.
- Antioxidant: protection against environmental aggressors that cause photo-oxidation.
- Strengthens the skin barrier: ceramides 1, 3, and 6-II that contribute to lipid integrity.
- Hydration and comfort: hyaluronic acid and vitamin B5 for water retention and relief of tightness.
- Lightweight serum texture: fast absorption, compatible with makeup and subsequent steps.
- Suitable for daily use and formulated for sensitive skin; indicated for dry, combination, oily, and atopic skin with tolerance.
- Facilitates integration into anti-spot treatments and anti-wrinkle routines when combined with specific creams and sun protection.

Is it suitable for sensitive and atopic skin?
Yes. The formulation is designed for tolerance in sensitive skin and can be used on atopic skin as long as there is no prior reaction to the components. In case of very reactive skin, it is recommended to introduce it progressively.

Where is it applied exactly?
It is applied to the face and neck, avoiding the eye contour. The décolleté can be treated spot-wise if tone uniformity is desired.

When are results observed?
Increased radiance and improved texture can be seen in 2–4 weeks; visible reduction of spots usually requires 4–12 weeks of continuous use and daily sunscreen protection.

Can it be used with sunscreen and makeup?
Yes. It is compatible with facial sunscreen and absorbs sufficiently to apply makeup afterward. For maximum protection against photoaging, it is advised to use sunscreen after hydration.

Can it be combined with retinol or exfoliating acids?
Yes, but it is recommended to alternate or apply at different times of the day (vitamin C in the morning and retinol at night) to minimize potential discomfort and optimize tolerance.

Is it suitable for oily or acne-prone skin?
The light texture makes it compatible with oily and combination skin; however, in cases of severe active acne, it is advisable to consult a professional before incorporating new treatments.

Which active ingredient is responsible for radiance?
L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C) at 10% is the main brightening and antioxidant agent in the formula.

Does it require activation before first use?
Yes. The packaging includes an activation system: turn the cap clockwise to break the seal and release the vitamin C, then turn counterclockwise to open.

Is it vegan or cruelty-free?
There is no information provided about Vegan or Cruelty-Free certification; the original label should be consulted to verify these certifications.

Directions for use
Apply to clean, dry skin on the face and neck, avoiding the eye contour. Preferably use in the morning before the facial moisturising cream and facial sunscreen. To activate the product: turn the cap clockwise to break the internal seal and release the vitamin C; then turn counterclockwise to open the container and dispense the serum. Routine integration: cleansing → serum (vitamin C) → moisturising cream → sunscreen. To combine with retinoids or exfoliating treatments, space applications (vitamin C in the morning, retinol at night) to improve tolerance.

Specific warnings: indications and precautions, technical advice
- For external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes; in case of contact, rinse thoroughly with water.
- Keep out of reach of children.
- If irritation or noticeable reaction occurs, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
- Vitamin C in the form of L-ascorbic acid may oxidize with prolonged exposure to air and light; follow the container's activation system and close properly after each use.
- Daytime sunscreen is essential to protect skin treated with vitamin C and enhance its benefits against photoaging; combine with a suitable sunscreen according to skin type and exposure.
- When combined with more aggressive topical treatments (alpha hydroxy acids, retinoids, medical treatments), a gradual introduction and/or alternating schedule is suggested to reduce the risk of sensitivity.
- Do not apply on open wounds or skin inflamed by dermatological procedures until professional advice is given.
