Vitamin C and behenyl alcohol

Vitamin C and behenyl alcohol: keep them apart

Keep them apart

Use them at different times of day, applying vitamin C in the morning and behenyl alcohol at night, because high alcohol dries the skin. High alcohol can evaporate moisture and make the vitamin C oxidize faster, leaving skin dry and dull. You can switch to a lower alcohol base or wait longer between steps.
