You should apply vitamin C in the evening and keep the bottle in a cool, DARK place. Vitamin C reacts to light, so you'll get the most out of it overnight. You can google around about "vitamin C and light". I'm not really sure why people are recommending wearing it during the day, other than it makes a nice moisturizer.

I apply it once a day (another vit c serum) in the morning. It is supposed to still be present for 24 hours. (futurederm website). I put other serums/products on at night. I keep my vit c in the refrigerator (cool dark box).

I never washed it off. I put it on before bed. If your skin is very dry you can put face cream over it.

1st, start by putting on a lite layer. Wait till it dries or or longer if you want . Gently wipe off all white residue. It last for appr. 8 hrs. Does not flake off. You might need moisturizer. Put on without pulling. Wait couple min then makeup. Nothing much happens when it wears off. I just look a little tired. if you want wash face and start all over again. just remember lite layer is all you need.

@ Alejandra T. Yes! I apply this product after washing my face first thing in the morning. I don't worry about protecting the product with a sunscreen because I am always indoors. However, if you plan on enjoying direct sunlight, always protect your skin with a broad spectrum sunscreen. It is still working for me. I hope you have great results.

I use it in the evening only as that is what Image recommends. Also, it is thicker than a day cream. I use the Image anti aging serum in the morning.

I don't use it in the date time. I use it only at night. Your skin becomes really sensitive after you clean it with this product. So, it's up to you but I prefer to put it on during the night and then I use a moisturizer.

It would be good to use this in the morning, and maybe something else at night.SPF lotions require that you rub them in, otherwise they leave white residue. So, that could perhaps cause irritation though I don't hear anyone complain about that.If you aren't going to be in the sun for more than 10 minutes you probably don't need SPF, unless you are using AHA (Glycolic Acid) or Benzoyl Peroxide on your face--they increase your sensitivity to UV light.

Yes, I spray it on morning and night, then apply moisturizer. I love the stuff-it really seems to make the moisturizer more effective.

I use it after I wash my face morning and night, then apply my face cream after it has dried. I absolutely love the refreshed feeling from the spritz and it gives my complexion a youthful glow.

You create a mixture of your liking there are many ways to incorporate this powder with other ingredients, such as hot water and oil. Once you have applied all the ingredients you let it sit overnight and put it on the next day. Mind you, it can be messy. Once applied leave it on 4 hours or more. Left mine on overnight...Rinse out the next day and make sure you deep condition because your hair will feel a lil dry...

Thank you...was having a mini meltdown. Sadly I didn't think I'd have this reaction and didn't plan for this appearance. I did a 30% glycolic peel a few weeks ago and there was no one minute of downtime. It just made me glow. Do you think it's better to let it get very dry so it will maybe peel faster or reapply my moisturizer to keep it hydrated? I look so crazy and have to work on Rodeo Dr. tomorrow. :(

I cannot imagine leaving this product on overnight. The first time I used it I had trouble not washing it off sooner than the suggested time. With regular use my skin can tolerate the product for longer and longer time periods, but I'm talking about minutes. I cannot imagine an hour, much less overnight. I am afraid her face would be badly burned.

Sorry, I don't have an appropriate answer for that since I only mix what I'm going to use right away. However, since there are no preservatives in the product, I would probably refrigerate it if not used within a couple of hours.

Mine arrived in liquid form. You can warm it if you like as a conditioning treatment for dry hair and put on a plastic cap. I do that for about 20 minutes while I do other things. However, you do not have to. For your skin, you do not have to warm it. I did refrigerate mine because I prefer it in a solidifed form and rub it in the palms of my hands and it liquifies quickly. Hope that helped you.

Apply it before so you can wash it out with shampoo. You don't want to leave this hot stuff on as a leave in. It's only for 15-40 min whatever you prefer and then wash it out.

The directions say to rinse off after 20 minutes. I have used it w/o doing so as I went to bed to sleep and I was fine. My friend said she use it and this product burned or stung her skin. I guess it depends on your skin sensitivity. I would say you should follow the directions on the label to be safe.
