2. Use after cleansing and toning, before heavier creams or facial oils; follow with broad-spectrum SPF in the AM.

FAQs

Can I use this while pregnant or nursing?
The brand does not provide specific guidance for use during pregnancy or nursing. As this product contains a high-potency vitamin C derivative, please consult your physician before use if you are pregnant, trying to conceive or breastfeeding.

Can I use this with retinol/retinal/acid exfoliants?
Yes, it can be used with other actives; however, path of layering should consider tolerance. If you’re using strong retinoids or exfoliants regularly, you may alternate nights or apply this in the morning and the other actives at night as tolerated.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
The formula is fragrance-free and formulated to support multiple skin types (normal, dry, combination, oily). That said, for sensitive skin it’s best to introduce gradually and monitor for any light tingling or sensitivity due to the high-potency actives.

How long until I see results?
In clinical/consumer studies, users reported improved texture and hydration within 1 week and visible improvement of fine lines, wrinkles and tone over 4 weeks. 

Can I use it around the eyes?
This product is formulated for face and neck application. It is not specifically labeled for the delicate orbital eye area—use a dedicated eye product for targeted eye-area concerns.

Storage and shelf life?
Due to the high potency of the active ingredients (10% THD Ascorbate), color may shift slightly over time—this is normal and does not impact performance. 

People Also Ask

Is Peter Thomas Roth Potent-C Brightening Vitamin C Moisturizer good for acne-prone skin?
The formula is primarily designed for brightening, uneven tone and anti-aging rather than acne treatment. While non-comedogenic claims are not explicitly made, many skin types (including combination and oily) are indicated. For active acne concerns, pair with appropriate treatments.

Can you use Peter Thomas Roth Potent-C Brightening Vitamin C Moisturizer every day?
Yes—apply morning and evening as recommended by the brand for best results. 

Does Peter Thomas Roth Potent-C Brightening Vitamin C Moisturizer work under makeup?
Yes—the lightweight cream texture allows it to absorb and serve as a strong base under makeup when used in a morning routine.

Product longevity varies by amount used and frequency—but with twice-daily use of the 1.7 fl oz size, many users report a jar lasting several weeks to a couple of months.

Is Peter Thomas Roth Potent-C Brightening Vitamin C Moisturizer fragrance-free / oil-free?
