    Burn?

    Hey! I just started using Purito's vitamin c serum and I feel some kind of burn on my face. Should I wash it off? Get used to it? Did I use too much? Stop using the product? What could be the reason? I usually don't react to skincare, but my skin seems to tolerate and react well to everything, this is the first time. 🤞🏼 Thanks in advance!

      Hey Amanda🌸 I understand, and it’s not uncommon to feel a slight burning sensation when you start using Vitamin C serum, especially if your skin isn’t used to it. You’re on the right track, and here are some tips: 1. Ease your skin into it by using the serum every other day or 1-2 times a week at first to avoid irritation. 2. Use a smaller amount if you’ve applied too much, as this can cause discomfort. 3. Make sure to moisturize properly and use sunscreen since Vitamin C can make your skin more sensitive. 4. If you’re using other active ingredients (like AHA, BHA, or retinol), they can also increase sensitivity. If the irritation and sensation you’re experiencing continue, pause the product and give your skin time to recover. It may be that this one just doesn’t suit your skin. I hope my answer can be helpful. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have more questions! 💬 Wishing you a super nice day🌞
