Vitamin C in a moisturiser is the low-effort route: one step instead of two, with the antioxidant delivered alongside the hydration. Concentrations are generally lower than in a serum, which makes these formulas a gentler option for sensitive skin or anyone easing into the ingredient.
They're also a sensible choice if you'd rather not build a long routine – a vitamin C moisturiser in the morning followed by SPF is a complete and perfectly respectable daytime routine. For higher concentrations, see our vitamin C serums.
