Vitamin C serum is a morning skin care staple, but should you use it at night? We asked a dermatologist to find out.
Welcome to Ask a Derm, a series from SELF in which board-certified dermatologists answer your pressing questions about skin, hair, and nail health. For this installment, we tapped Shasa Hu, MD, the director of the cosmetic division at the University of Miami Dr. Phillip Frost Department of Dermatology and Cutaneous Surgery. Her specialties include skin cancer detection and treatment, concerns of aging and ethnic skin, and skin rejuvenation.
Back to those antioxidant perks we mentioned above: A well-formulated vitamin C serum essentially neutralizes free radicals—volatile molecules your body creates in response to environmental hazards like air pollutants and UV radiation from the sun—which can damage your skin and hinder its ability to repair itself. As a result, using a vitamin C serum in the morning can help prevent sunburn and curb DNA damage from UV exposure, Dr. Hu says.
