The first rule you must go by is that you must apply the skincare product from thinnest to thickest in terms of consistency.

4- Apply a moisturizer. For oily skin, we recommend using Foxtale’s Oil Free Moisturizer. The gel-based moisturizer with Niacinamide blots excess oil and prevents unclogged pores. Moreover, Hyaluronic Acid and Marine Extracts in the formula intensely hydrate the skin for a soft, supple appearance.

Benefits of Vitamin C serum for oily skin

1.Hydrating the skin

If you're like most people, your initial thinking is probably, "My skin is already very oily, what is the need for a product that will moisturize it further?''  The idea that people with oily skin cannot moisturize their skin is a very common myth. Their skin is oily because the sebaceous glands on their faces produce too much sebum. 

The face becomes even drier when using harsh cleansers, which stimulates the glands to release more sebum. That's when vitamin C comes into play. In addition to aiding in moisture retention, it also helps in hydrating the face without making the skin appear overly greasy or oily. 

2.Assisting in unclogging of pores-

Clogged pores and oily skin usually go hand in hand. Our pores become clogged as a result of excessive sebum production. However, vitamin C helps to clear away dead skin and unclog congested pores.

3.Preventing any additional breakouts-

 The saying "Prevention is better than cure" can be best suited to Vitamin C. Vitamin C can eliminate any acne-causing bacteria that may be resting in the pores because it has a mildly acidic nature. As a result, outbreaks can be avoided.

• Helps in brightening the complexion- 

Vitamin C acts as a brightening agent. It aids in enhancing the skin's ability to look more healthy and vibrant. It shields the skin from sun damage and aids in the removal of any dark spots to reveal a beautiful complexion thanks to its antioxidant characteristics. 

• Helps in healing acne scars- 

Acne scars often serve as a not-so-friendly reminder of the painful pimples they once were. Fortunately, vitamin C increases collagen synthesis and cell renewal, which aids in rebuilding the cells much more quickly. This results in acne scars vanishing completely. 

The conclusion- 

 While vitamin C serum offers innumerable benefits to your skin, it is best to not treat it as a one-size-fits-all product. Remember, every skin is different and reacts to products differently.  To prevent your serum from causing your skin to become oilier, you must be careful about the type of serum you choose and take certain factors into consideration.
