Dr. Rashel Anti-Aging, Brightening & Firming Face Serum with Vitamin C & Hyaluronic Acid, 50ml

This Dr. Rashel serum pairs vitamin C with hyaluronic acid, which is a sensible combination rather than a marketing one. Vitamin C is an antioxidant, hyaluronic acid is a humectant that holds water in the skin, and the two do entirely different jobs without competing. At 50ml it is a larger bottle than most serums, which means there is enough to use on the neck rather than rationing it.

Specs

• Form: Face serum
• Volume: 50ml
• Key ingredients: Vitamin C, hyaluronic acid
• When: Morning, before moisturiser and SPF
• Brand: Dr. Rashel

Benefits

• Vitamin C and hyaluronic acid do different jobs, one an antioxidant and one a humectant, so combining them makes sense rather than duplicating effort
• Hyaluronic acid works by holding water, so applying it to slightly damp skin and sealing with a moisturiser is what makes it worthwhile
• Vitamin C is typically used in the morning, sitting under sunscreen rather than replacing it
• A 50ml bottle at this price makes it practical to use generously, including on the neck and chest
• Keep it capped and away from light. Vitamin C formulas darken as they oxidise

How to Use

• Apply a few drops to clean, slightly damp skin in the morning
• Pat in gently and let it absorb
• Follow with a moisturiser, then SPF
• Start every other day if your skin is sensitive, then build up
• Store away from heat and direct light with the cap closed
• Avoid the eye area
