Alternative to vitamin c serum
Hi! I seem to have started reacting to vitamin c serum. It worked so well last summer, but my skin is rougher and redder now. Is there something I can use instead? Could the serum from Joseon be an alternative?Translated from norwegian

If your skin has become rougher and redder, it may indicate that it is more sensitive now, and then vitamin C (especially in higher concentrations or with low pH) can irritate. So it’s smart to take a break and instead go for something milder and more strengthening. This serum might suit you very well now, as it contains: -Rice milk extract (68%) is soothing, moisturizing, and evens out skin tone – perfect for sensitive skin. -Alpha Arbutin (2%) gently brightens pigmentation without irritating like vitamin C sometimes can. -It is free from fragrance and essential oils, which is good for reactive skin 💪 -It is a very mild and balancing serum that can help with glow and a more even skin tone without stressing the skin, so it sounds like a good alternative for you now! 🌟Tip: Start by using the serum once daily (e.g. morning) and see how your skin reacts. Feel free to combine it with a soothing moisturizer and sunscreen during the day. If the skin is very sensitive, also consider introducing products with panthenol, centella, or ceramides to support the barrier 🍃 Wishing you a nice day ahead 👋
