How to Use Obagi Vitamin C Serum
Applying the serum with an eyedropper is effective.

Obagi Vitamin C Serum is designed to return your skin to its youthful, pre-sundamaged state by infusing it with large quantities of the vitamin and adding plenty of moisture. Advocates of its use believe that its antioxidant properties promote the development of collagen and reduces wrinkles and aging.

Step 1

Clean your face and neck using a mild cleanser and warm soapy water. Pat the skin dry with a soft, absorbent towel, being careful not to rub the skin.

Step 2

Use an eyedropper to apply a few drops of the serum to your face, your neck and your chest. Manufacturers recommend you apply the serum first thing each morning.

Step 3

Allow the serum to dry completely before applying sunscreen. Sunscreen is essential while using the serum as heavy concentrations of Vitamin C can make your skin ultra-sensitive to the sun.

Warnings

  • If you develop a rash, hives or itching, stop applying the serum and consult your physician.
