Confused about which Vitamin C is actually safe for skin of colour?
Not all Vitamin C serums are created equal — and some can trigger irritation, breakouts, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), especially in melanin-rich skin.
In this video, Dr Vanita Rattan breaks down the best and worst Vitamin C products for skin of colour, including which forms to use, what to avoid, and how to get brighter, even-toned skin without damaging your barrier.
You’ll learn:
• The difference between L-ascorbic acid vs Vitamin C derivatives
• Which Vitamin C types are safest for melanin-rich skin
• The best Vitamin C serums for pigmentation, glow & anti-ageing
• Which products to avoid (and why they can worsen PIH)
• What NOT to mix with Vitamin C
If you’re dealing with dark spots, uneven skin tone, or sensitive skin, this guide will help you choose the right Vitamin C without making pigmentation worse.
