Can you use this with prescription RetinA
- Asked by Jude
- Official Answer By COSRX - Brand EngageWe are unable to provide accurate guidance on using with products from other brands. When it comes to combining products like the Advanced Vitamin C 23 Serum and prescription Retin-A, it's essential to proceed with caution. Both Vitamin C and Retin-A can be potent ingredients and may cause irritation when used together, especially for sensitive skin types. If you have sensitive skin or are unsure, consulting with a dermatologist or skincare professional would be a great way to get personalized advice.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
I already use the Advanced Genefique Serum from Lancome morning and night. I wanted to swap out the Lancome for a brightening specific product in the evening. Do you think this would be a good choice? Do i just cleanse and then apply? Would you suggest following up with another product?
- Asked by Abbey
- Official Answer By COSRX - Brand EngageThe Advanced C 23 Serum is a fantastic choice for brightening your skin. It contains a potent concentration of Vitamin C, which can help to improve the appearance of uneven skin tone and enhance radiance. To incorporate it into your evening routine, you would start by cleansing your face. After cleansing, you can apply the Advanced C 23 Serum directly onto your skin. Be sure to allow it to absorb fully before applying any additional products. For best results, you may want to follow up with a hydrating product, such as a moisturizer, to lock in the benefits of the serum. If you have specific concerns, applying a soothing or hydrating essence before the serum can also enhance your routine. As always, we recommend patch testing any new product to ensure compatibility with your skin.Was this answer helpful to you

Don't Love It
I generally like COSRX products, however this product is not my favorite. Initially, when I opened the product, it sounded like opening a can of soda. I wasn't sure if that's the way the product is supposed to sound upon initial opening so I used it but my face does not love it. I'm thinking maybe I...

great vit c
love this COSRX vitamin C i keep it in the fridge it nice and cool and absorbs well in the skin. I use to use that fancy french one that starts with a V it would turn orange and tint my skin orange. i love the Korean skin care lines beats the french skin care lines i have used in the past
BEST SERUM EVER!!
Been using this product for two weeks and it's amazing! It minimized my fine lines, made my skin more luminous and made these irritating bumps on my jaw line completely disappear! So relieved I ordered a back up bottle! 😅
Game changer
I knew I had some discoloration on my face and my skin felt dull, but hot dog I didn't realize how much so until I started to use this product and saw such a difference! I have dark purple circles around my eyes and nose and just a few drops at the top of my cheeks, under my eyebrows (don't want to get too close to my eyes), and around my nose have changed the game!! The texture of my skin has improved, there's so much less dicoloration, and my fine lines are softening. This truly was the step I was missing from my beauty routine! I can't recommend it enough, especially for the price.
great Vitamin C Product
Purchased this on the Ulta beauty sale i really like it i have in my fridge i use it at night feels good on the skin and absorbs. i liked it so much i purchased a second bottle
