For optimal results, we recommend applying the serum daily as directed:
- Make sure to use Cetaphil Vitamin C Serum on clean skin. To get a clean canvas, we recommend using a gentle cleanser like the Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser.
- After cleansing, pat your skin dry with a towel. With the help of the provided dropper, apply pea-sized drops of the Cetaphil Vitamin C Serum on your face: approximately one drop on each cheek, nose, and two on the forehead. Adjust as needed.
- Gently massage the serum into your skin using a circular, upward motion. Let it absorb for a minute or two.
- Follow-up with a daily non-greasy moisturizer. For optimal results, supplement with the Cetaphil Hydrating Eye Gel-Cream for the sensitive skin under your eyes.

Yes, you can use niacinamide and vitamin C together. They even complement each other - helping to visibly brighten skin, even out skin tone, and help smooth the look of fine lines and wrinkles.
Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3 and offers multiple benefits for your skin, including:
- Helping to strengthen the natural skin barrier.
- Helping to reduce the visible signs of skin aging, such as uneven tone, dullness, and fine lines.
- Helping to improve the appearance of skin pores.
Retinol, a vitamin A derivative, has become an important part of skincare routines worldwide. It's known for supporting a variety of skincare goals. Both retinol and vitamin C are known to help improve the visible signs of skin aging.1 However, you might prefer using alternatives due to retinol’s potential to irritate skin, especially when exposed to the sun.
At Cetaphil, we do not use retinol in our skincare products. Instead, we incorporate ingredients like bakuchiol and purified peptides across various formulations, including our anti-aging range. Both help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. While bakuchiol also helps visibly brighten uneven skin tone, purified peptides play an important role in supporting the skin barrier function. Gentler than retinol, both ingredients can be used with vitamin C on sensitive skin. Still curious?
