Best Moisturizer To Use After Vitamin C Serum

Since you are in search of the best moisturizer to use after vitamin C serum I will list out the best moisturizer for you based on your skin type. So, I will suggest the best moisturizer for the following skin types after you apply vitamin C serum:  Normal skin, Dry skin, Oily skin(Acne-prone), Combination skin, and Sensitive skin.

Of course, I assume everyone will find their skin type and get their moisturizer. I am doing it this way since every skin type requires different ingredients and based on that I will suggest you the best moisturizer. So, let’s get into it!

Best Moisturizer To Use After Vitamin C Serum

Best Moisturizer To Use After Vitamin C Serum For Normal Skin

So, when it comes to normal skin it should be hard to find a good moisturizer to use. Normal skin is well-balanced and it has a good oil-water ratio. It usually has small pores, a smooth texture and it usually has minimal sensitivity. Its minimal sensitivity is the reason why you can use many moisturizers. Since you have normal skin that means you will mostly balance moisturizers that are neither too watery nor oily. So my suggestion to you is that you should use CeraVe Moisturizing Cream.

CeraVe Moisturizing Cream

Its main ingredient is hyaluronic acid which can be very useful for several reasons. Hyaluronic acid is a hydrating ingredient that collects and holds the moisture in your skin. Of course, it is also extremely soothing and calming to the skin. It reduces redness, irritation, and inflammation. This CeraVe moisturizer also contains essential ceramides, Ceramide NP, Ceramide AP, and Ceramide EOP. These ceramides will help maintain your healthy skin barrier and that way keep the moisture in the skin.

It also contains a bunch of fatty alcohols like Cetearyl Alcohol and Cetyl Alcohol which will soothe your skin and improve its texture. Overall best moisturizer to use after vitamin C if you have a normal skin type.

Best Moisturizer To Use After Vitamin C Serum For Dry Skin

So you will know that you have dry skin if it feels rough on the touch and it may appear more tight. People who have dry skin usually experience irritation, redness, and inflammation when they apply heavy skincare products. Moisturizer is probably one of the most important products you should use if you have this skin type since it simply lacks moisture.

The most beneficial and considered “safe” ingredients for dry skin are niacinamides, glycerin, hyaluronic acid, natural oils, ceramides, and shea butter. Of course, taking everything in mind I will suggest moisturizer to use after your vitamin C serum. In my opinion, the most beneficial moisturizer for this skin type you can use is La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair Moisturizer

Compared to the previous CeraVe moisturizer I have suggested for normal skin this one contains even more hydrating ingredients which is a must when it comes to dry skin. It contains ingredients like glycerin, dimethicone, niacinamide, and ceramide NP which are particularly beneficial for providing hydration, preventing moisture loss, and improving the skin’s moisture barrier.

Out of other notable ingredients, it contains tocopherol which is a form of vitamin E that protects the skin from free radicals and damage that can happen because of the environment.

Best Moisturizer To Use After Vitamin C Serum For Oily Skin (Acne-prone)

Oily skin is the total opposite of dry skin because it contains too much sebum. Oily skin produces excess sebum which usually results in a shiny and greasy appearance, particularly in the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin).

Oily skin is prone to enlarged pores, acne breakouts, and a thicker complexion. It is prone to acne breakouts because the sebum that the skin produces can clog the pores thus resulting in acne breakouts. So the main focus of people with oily skin should be to reduce the sebum production of the skin and to reduce the chance of getting clogged pores. Dermatologists recommend using products that contain ingredients like salicylic acid, niacinamide, hazel, retinol, green tea extract, hyaluronic acid, and zinc.

Of course, based on this I will suggest the best possible moisturizer for you to use after applying vitamin C serum. The best moisturizer to use after vitamin C serum for oily (acne-prone) skin is La Roche-Posay Effaclar Mat Oil-Free Mattifying Moisturizer.

La Roche-Posay Effaclar Mat Oil-Free Mattifying Moisturizer.

La Roche-Posay Effaclar Mat Oil-Free Mattifying Moisturizer for Face, Facial Moisturizer For Oily Skin, to Reduce Oil and Minimize Pores, Moisturizing Shine Control for Sensitive Skin

This is the moisturizer from La Roche-Posay that is specifically made for oily skin. So it is clear that you can use it after vitamin C serum as well.

The moisturizer contains Glycerin, Dimethicone, Ammonium Polyacryloyldimethyl Taurate, Niacinamide, and Capryloyl Glycine, which are advantageous for oily skin. With its light, oil-free, and mattifying formulation, it effectively manages surplus oil, reduces shine, and offers hydration without clogging pores. As for its use, I would suggest using it both in the morning and at night.

Best Moisturizer To Use After Vitamin C Serum For Sensitive Skin

Sensitive skin is more reactive to harsh ingredients in skincare products and it can be really hard to manage it. It is very prone to irritations, redness, and inflammation. Since this is the case we will have to look for a very light moisturizer that you can use after your vitamin C serum to not irritate your skin.

So according to this, I would suggest using CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion since it is lightweight and I am pretty confident it won’t cause a reaction for most people. Of course, everyone’s skin reacts differently so make sure to patch-test the product before full use.

CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion

Cerave daily moisturizing lotion contains very similar ingredients to the previous CeraVe moisturized I have suggested for the normal skin type. Of course, its ingredients are mainly focused on hydration and on restoring the moisturizing skin barrier. Of course, it also focuses on the goal to maintain moisture in the skin.

It doesn’t contain any harsh ingredients and you can use it for sensitive skin after your vitamin C serum. Its main ingredients are ceramides, glycerin, and fatty alcohols. It contains three types of ceramides: Ceramide NP, Ceramide AP, and Ceramide EOP. Ceramides are the ones that protect and restore moisture barrier and are extremely beneficial for sensitive skin.

Best Moisturizer To Use After Vitamin C Serum For Combination Skin

Combination skin is a mix of different skin types. It often exhibits oily characteristics in the T-zone while being normal to dry in other areas. Combination skin can be challenging to manage, as different areas may require different products and attention.

Ingredients that are beneficial for combination skin are niacinamide, retinol, glycerin, aloe vera, tea tree oil, aloe vera, salicylic acid, and hyaluronic acid. According to these ingredients, Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel-Cream seems like the best option to use after vitamin C serum.

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel-Cream

This moisturizer contains ingredients that will provide balanced hydration and control excess oil in the T-zone, and soothe any dry areas of the skin on your face. The main ingredients of the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel Cream are glycerin and panthenol.

CONCLUSION

In conclusion, I hope that I have helped you find the best possible moisturizer. It is important to understand that everyone’s skin is different so taking into consideration your skin type will certainly help you maintain clear and good-looking skin.
