People already overdose on caffeine each morning, so giving your skin a brightening boost makes sense. Vitamin C serum has become a staple because it fights dullness, dark spots, pollution damage and general “I haven’t slept since 2019” energy.
It boosts collagen, evens tone, and helps sunscreen work better. The trick is consistency. A few drops every morning, a broad-spectrum SPF afterward, and yes, patience. Skin doesn’t transform overnight.
If your serum comes in dark glass and smells slightly citrusy instead of like a chemistry lab explosion, you’re probably doing it right.
