Ferulic acid helps keep the vitamin C derivative stable, while panthenol (1%) and ceramide NP support a comfortable-feeling barrier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBest for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDull-looking skin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDark spots and post-blemish marks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUneven-looking tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTired-looking skin and under-eyes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNot ideal if\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou want a pure vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) serum: this uses a vitamin C derivative\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYour skin is broken or irritated right now: wait until it has settled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou can't commit to daily sunscreen: the tube carries a sunburn alert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere it goes in your routine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter cleansing and toner, morning or evening.
