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

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.
