Why Vitamin C + Sunscreen Is the Ultimate Duo

Most people apply sunscreen daily, but few realize that pairing it with Vitamin C serum can double your protection against sun damage and pollution. Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals before they cause dullness, dark spots, or premature aging. Sunscreen, on the other hand, forms a physical and chemical shield that blocks UVA and UVB rays.

When used together, Vitamin C + Sunscreen become your skin’s armor against both environmental and UV-induced stress — helping you achieve brighter, more even-toned skin over time.

Step-by-Step – How to Layer Vitamin C Serum with Sunscreen

Step 1: Cleanse & Prep

Start with a gentle cleanser to remove dirt and oil. This ensures that your active ingredients penetrate better.

Step 2: Apply CLARIV 10% Vitamin C Serum

Take 2–3 drops of CLARIV Vitamin C Serum with 0.5% Ferulic Acid and Vitamin E on your fingertips and gently pat it onto your face and neck.
Allow it to absorb fully (about 1–2 minutes) before moving to the next step.

Why CLARIV?
• Contains 3-O Ethyl Ascorbic Acid – a stabilized, non-irritating form of Vitamin C that brightens and fades pigmentation.
• Enhanced with Ferulic Acid + Vitamin E for antioxidant synergy and skin barrier protection
• Infused with Kakadu Plum and Aloe Vera Extract for hydration and glow
• Lightweight, non-sticky, and safe for all skin types.

Step 3: Moisturize (Optional)

If your skin feels dry, use a light moisturizer before sunscreen. It helps lock in the Vitamin C and prevents dehydration.

Step 4: Seal with CLARIV SPF 50 PA++++ Sunscreen

Apply a generous amount (about 2 fingers’ length) of CLARIV Sunscreen 15 minutes before stepping outside.

Why CLARIV Sunscreen?
• SPF 50 | PA++++ Broad-Spectrum Protection shields from both UVA & UVB raysClariv sunscreen.
• Infused with Niacinamide, Hyaluronic Acid, and Ceramides to hydrate, calm, and strengthen skinClariv sunscreen.
• No White Cast, Water/Sweat Resistant, and Fragrance-Free – perfect for Indian weather.
• Gel-based, quick-absorbing formula that leaves your skin cool and matte.

Let the sunscreen settle for a few minutes before applying makeup.

Why Layering Order Matters

Your skincare works best when applied from thin to thick textures.

• Serums → Moisturizer → Sunscreen.
  Applying sunscreen first would block Vitamin C from entering your skin. Applying Vitamin C on top of sunscreen would dilute the SPF.
  That’s why this order is scientifically proven to maximize both glow and protection.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Mixing both products together: Always layer, never mix.

2. Using unstable Vitamin C forms: CLARIV uses a stabilized form that resists oxidation.

3. Skipping re-application: Reapply sunscreen every 2–3 hours when outdoors.

4. Ignoring evening repair: Use your Vitamin C Serum at night too for antioxidant replenishment.
