We’ve got answers brought to you by Software’s skincare experts.

Dr, Matt headshot
Dr. Matt Vickers
General Practitioner

Are there any side effects when using this product?

You may experience a mild warming sensation upon application. This is normal. However,  if you experience severe burning, redness, peeling, or swelling, discontinue use immediately and consult a healthcare professional.

Does this oil feel greasy on the skin?

No, our formula is designed to absorb quickly without leaving a greasy residue. You may experience a slight warming sensation upon application, which is normal and indicates the product is working.

How should I store this product?

While more stable than water-based vitamin C serums, we still recommend storing this oil away from direct sunlight and heat to maintain maximum quality.

Why is this formulated as an oil rather than a water-based serum?

Vitamin C can destabilise in water-based formulations. Our oil-based formula ensures stability and quality for the full life of the product.

Can I use this with other active ingredients like retinol or AHAs?

Yes, this formula pairs well with most skincare ingredients. For retinoid users, we recommend using the Vitamin C & Niacinamide Oil in the morning and retinoids at night for optimal results.

Will this make my skin more sensitive to the sun?

Unlike some exfoliating ingredients, vitamin C is an antioxidant that complements the efficacy of your sunscreen. However, we still recommend using a broad-spectrum SPF daily, such as our Daily Sun Defence SPF50+, for optimal skin protection.

Can I use this if I have oily skin?

Yes! Despite being an oil formula, this product is lightweight and non-comedogenic. The niacinamide helps maintain balanced oil levels, making it beneficial for oily and combination skin types.
