Hey ☺️ I have a scar from a belly button piercing that has gotten darker than my skin, can I use this serum to lighten it? I see several say it helps with scars
Hey Marie 👋🏼
Thanks for your question. COSRX The Vitamin C 23 Serum is known for its brightening properties, and many have used it to even out skin tone and reduce the visibility of scars. The serum contains 23% stabilized vitamin C, which can help lighten darker areas on the skin.
Important to note:
Concentration: The high concentration of vitamin C can be strong for sensitive skin. It is recommended to start with a lower concentration, such as 13%, to see how your skin reacts.
Usage: Apply the serum to clean skin after toner, and use it in the evening. Avoid direct sunlight after application, and use sunscreen in the morning to protect your skin.
Storage: To prevent oxidation and maintain the product's effectiveness, store the serum in a cool place and use it within 2 months after opening.
If you have sensitive skin or are unsure how the product will affect you, it may be wise to consult a dermatologist before use.
Have a lovely day ahead💞
