The Vitamin C Balm is a multipurpose facial balm, so it has flexible uses in your routine. It is effective as an AM + PM moisturizer for those with drier skin types, or as a PM moisturizer for those with oilier skin types. It is also a wonderful product for lip repair, spot treatments, after sun care, and deep treatments (as part of a masking or exfoliating ritual).
The Vitamin C Balm is formulated with all skin types in mind, and many of our customers have reported it improving their acne due to its regenerative and calming ingredients. Individuals with oily skin type and acne-prone skin might benefit more from using our Sea Berry Balancing Facial Oil, which is a lighter weight option formulated for these skin states in mind.
If your skin is particularly reactive to new products, it might be worth doing a patch test on your first application or discussing it with your dermatologist ahead of time. If you do not currently have a dermatologist, we offer complimentary consultations with our in-house esthetician.
Our line is formulated to be gentle but effective, with sensitive skin in mind. Many of our customers with sensitive skin find that they respond well to this product. If you have particularly reactive skin and are concerned, it is always a wise idea to do a small patch test and see how your skin responds initially, as well as to reach out to us for more support ahead of time!
We absolutely recommend the Vitamin C balm for dry and dehydrated skin! Its moisturizing and regenerating ingredients make it an ideal companion for anyone with dry skin to replenish their skin barrier.
Because our products are natural, gentle, and non-toxic, many of our customers feel comfortable using them during pregnancy. However, we should note that our line contains essential oils, which are not always recommended for use during pregnancy due to limited research. It is always wise to discuss things with your medical provider if you have any questions or concerns!
