It brightens the skin, reduces the appearance of dark spots, and promotes a more even skin tone.

Stability: Vitamin C is known for its susceptibility to oxidation, which can reduce its efficacy over time. Powdered Vitamin C formulations tend to be more stable than liquid forms. The dry, powder state helps protect the Vitamin C from exposure to air and light, preserving its potency for a longer period.

Extended shelf life: The stability of a powder form contributes to a longer shelf life compared to liquid formulations. This can be advantageous for consumers, ensuring that the product remains effective and potent throughout its intended usage period.

Customizable Mixing: Powdered Vitamin C allows users to customize the concentration and mix it with different liquids based on individual preferences and needs. This flexibility in mixing enables users to create a personalized skincare solution tailored to their skin type and concerns.

Reduced Preservatives: Some liquid formulations of Vitamin C may require additional preservatives to prevent oxidation and microbial growth. By opting for a powder form, it may be possible to minimize the need for excessive preservatives, resulting in a cleaner and more natural product.

Reduced Environmental Impact: Powdered formulations often require less packaging than liquid formulations, contributing to a reduced environmental impact. The use of less packaging materials and smaller containers can be more sustainable and eco-friendly.

Freshness Upon Activation: Powdered Vitamin C products can provide a sense of freshness and potency upon activation. Users mix the powder with their chosen liquid just before application, potentially enhancing the perception of the product's efficacy.

Ease of Transportation: Powdered Vitamin C is generally more convenient for travel. The absence of liquid minimizes the risk of spills, leaks, or breakage during transit, making it a practical choice for those on the go.

Customized Application: Users have control over the consistency of the mixture when working with a powder form. This customization allows for a thinner or thicker application based on personal preferences, potentially reducing the likelihood of product buildup and pilling.

It can be incorporated into a skincare routine at various ages, and its benefits are not restricted to a specific age group. However, the specific reasons for using Vitamin C may differ based on individual needs and concerns. Here are some general guidelines:

Early 20s: In the early twenties, many individuals start becoming more conscious of preventive skincare. Vitamin C can be beneficial for its antioxidant properties, helping protect the skin from environmental damage and promoting a healthy glow.

Late 20s to 30s: As collagen production begins to naturally decline in the late twenties and early thirties, Vitamin C becomes increasingly popular for its role in collagen synthesis. It can help support skin firmness and elasticity while continuing to provide antioxidant protection.

40s and Beyond: It can assist in reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots. Continued use of Vitamin C, along with a comprehensive skincare routine, contributes to overall skin health.

If you have sensitive skin, it's advisable to patch-test Vitamin C products and start with lower concentrations to avoid potential irritation.

The decision to incorporate Vitamin C depends on individual skincare concerns. It's never too late to start using Vitamin C, and its benefits can be realized at various stages of life.

Our Vit C Powder is water-soluble and can be mixed with water, rose water, or hyaluronic acid. Start with a small amount of powder and mix it with your chosen liquid to create a smooth paste. Apply the mixture to clean, dry skin, avoiding the eye area. It is recommended for use in the morning.

If the product feels grainy or has a gritty texture, it's possible that the powder hasn't fully dissolved in the liquid. To resolve this, add a bit more water, rose water, or hyaluronic acid to the mixture. This will help to dilute the concentration of the powder, allowing for smoother application.  Experiment with the ratio of powder to liquid until you achieve a consistency that feels comfortable on your skin. Start by adding small amounts of additional liquid at a time,  mixing thoroughly between each addition. Continue until the desired texture is reached. When mixing the powder, give it some time to dissolve completely. Sometimes, a little patience can make a significant difference. Allow the powder to fully integrate with the liquid, ensuring a smooth and well-blended formulation.

The choice of liquid as a base can also impact the texture. If you find one liquid is not achieving the desired consistency, try another. Experimenting with different bases may lead to a formulation that suits your preferences.

Remember, the goal is to customise the mixture to your liking. Adding more water and adjusting the ratio will usually help to eliminate any graininess.

Allow each skincare product, especially those with different consistencies, to fully absorb into your skin before applying the next one. Give each product a minute or two to set before moving on to the next step in your routine.

Follow a proper layering order in your skincare routine. Vitamin C products are typically applied after cleanser and toner but before heavier creams or oils. Applying lighter textures before thicker ones can help prevent pilling.

Applying too much product can contribute to pilling. Use the recommended amount for your Vitamin C product, typically a pea-sized amount, and spread it evenly over your face. More product doesn't necessarily mean better results.

If using products that are not from the SAIRA range, some ingredients may not interact well with Vitamin C, leading to pilling. Avoid combining Vitamin C with products that contain incompatible ingredients, such as certain silicones and minerals. If using multiple products, ensure they are formulated to work well together.

Patience is crucial when using multiple skincare products. Allow each product to dry or be absorbed before applying the next one. Rushing through your routine can increase the likelihood of pilling.

Try Applying on Damp Skin: Applying Vitamin C on slightly damp skin can aid absorption and reduce the chance of pilling. After cleansing, pat your face dry and apply the Vitamin C product promptly.

Brightening: Vitamin C is known to even out skin tone and reduce the appearance of dark spots.

Antioxidant Protection: It helps protect the skin from free radical damage caused by UV rays and environmental pollutants.

Collagen Synthesis: Vitamin C promotes collagen production, enhancing the skin's firmness and elasticity.

Anti-Inflammatory: The natural oils in the formula, such as chamomile flower oil, contribute to calming and soothing the skin.

While Vitamin C Powder is a versatile and effective skincare product, there are certain ingredients you may want to avoid using simultaneously to ensure optimal results:

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): Although both niacinamide and Vitamin C offer fantastic skincare benefits individually, they can potentially interfere with each other when used simultaneously. The concern arises from the fact that they may convert into nicotinic acid when combined, impacting their effectiveness. To enjoy the benefits of both ingredients, consider using them at different times of the day.

Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) and Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHAs): While Vitamin C and exfoliating acids like AHAs and BHAs can complement each other in some skincare routines, their combination may increase the risk of skin irritation for those with sensitive skin. If you choose to use both, introduce them gradually and observe how your skin responds.

Retinoids (Retinol, Retin-A, etc.): Combining Vitamin C with retinoids, such as retinol or prescription-strength Retin-A, can be harsh on the skin, leading to irritation and sensitivity. If you wish to include both ingredients in your routine, it is advisable to use them on alternate days or during different parts of your skincare routine (Vitamin C in the morning and retinoids in the evening).

Benzoyl Peroxide: Benzoyl peroxide is a potent acne-fighting ingredient that may oxidize Vitamin C, potentially reducing its efficacy. If you're using a benzoyl peroxide treatment, it's advisable to apply it in a separate routine, either in the morning or evening, and use the Vitamin C product at a different time.

Highly Acidic Products: Avoid using highly acidic products with our  Vit C Powder at the same time, as this could potentially lead to irritation. This includes products with a low pH, like some exfoliating toners.
