Vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid serum are popular skincare products, each offering distinct benefits:

1. Vitamin C Serum:

   • Primary Benefit: Antioxidant protection. Vitamin C helps in protecting the skin against environmental damage, reduces signs of aging, and improves skin texture and brightness.
   • Usage: Often used in the morning to take advantage of its antioxidant properties which can combat free radical damage throughout the day.
   • Skin Types: Generally suitable for most skin types, but those with sensitive skin may need to be cautious as high concentrations can be irritating.

2. Hyaluronic Acid Serum:

   • Primary Benefit: Hydration. Hyaluronic Acid is known for its ability to retain a large amount of moisture, it can hold up to 1000 times its weight in water. This helps in hydrating the skin, making it plump and reducing the appearance of fine lines.
   • Usage: Can be used both morning and evening. It’s often used under moisturizers to help lock in moisture.
   • Skin Types: Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin, due to its gentle nature.

Comparison:

• Mechanism of Action: Vitamin C works mainly as an antioxidant, while Hyaluronic Acid is a humectant that attracts and holds moisture.
• Target Concerns: Vitamin C is more focused on brightening, reducing hyperpigmentation, and protecting against environmental damage. Hyaluronic Acid primarily targets dryness, dehydration, and fine lines.
• Compatibility: They can be used together in a skincare routine. Vitamin C in the morning and Hyaluronic Acid at night, or both can be layered (Vitamin C first, followed by Hyaluronic Acid).
