Smash dull complexion and blemishes with pure Vitamin C ampoules
Hello, Maypure followers! Haha. I'm sure many of you are stressed out because every time you look in the mirror, your skin tone looks dull and your freckles or blemishes seem to be getting darker, right? I'm paying the price right now for the karma of going around in my 20s without even bothering to apply sunscreen properly. ㅠㅠ Brown pigmentation started appearing one by one on my cheeks, and now my whole complexion has darkened, so I'm constantly being told that I look tired. Haha. Getting regular laser toning is too expensive and hard to find the time for, so I decided to try some serious home care at least and added a pure Vitamin C ampoule to my routine. Hehe.
I've heard that pure Vitamin C is so good for whitening and antioxidant effects, but it turns out to be a really tricky ingredient to handle. It's sensitive to light and heat, so it must be refrigerated at all times. Also, since it's acidic, my face stung the first time I applied it, so I was really surprised, thinking I was getting a side effect. Haha. On top of that, I heard that using exfoliants or ingredients like retinol together with Vitamin C doubles the skin irritation, so figuring out the right skincare combination was quite a headache. So, I absolutely never apply it in the morning; instead, I chose to only put two or three drops on my face with a dropper after washing my face in the evening and let it absorb quickly. Haha.
For the first two weeks or so, I didn't notice any significant effects other than a slight stinging sensation, so I wondered if I had wasted my money. However, after enduring the use consistently for about a month, I could definitely feel the texture of my skin becoming smoother to the touch when washing my face in the morning, and I could even see in the mirror that my overall complexion had brightened up. Haha. It didn't erase my dark spots like a wipe, but since my skin tone itself brightened by a shade, I drastically reduced the amount of concealer I use. If you apply a generous amount of soothing cream after using Vitamin C, it reduces irritation, and you can wake up with firm, supple skin the next day. Haha. If you are worried about dark spots and blemishes, I highly recommend trying Pure Vitamin C at least once and finding your radiance! Haha. Just don't forget that sunscreen is a must the next morning!
