Vitamin C and phloretin
Work well together
Use them together in the morning, applying vitamin C first and phloretin right after, for extra antioxidant protection and a brighter glow. Phloretin helps keep vitamin C stable while they both fight skin dullness and daily environmental damage. If your skin feels sensitive, you can try using lower percentages or apply them on alternate days.
