What are the chances, if any, that applying Decleor Aromessence Neroli after vitamin C would weaken the strength of vitamin C?

It's fine to use an oil over Vitamin C, it won't weaken it.

Thank you, Jom. Is there anything that can weaken vitamin C, beside if you don't wait for vitamin C to thoroughly penetrate your skin?

I don't think there is anything that will weaken Vitamin C. You can use anything over it.

I have this other problem where I sweat a lot in the morning and it can be difficult be dry before I apply my vitamin C. I worry that the sweat can weaken the strength of vitamin C.

Then, half way through the day, my skin gets very dry.

There are vitamin C serums that come in an oil base. Mismo springs to mind.

This is not true. Vitamin C does mix well with most moisturizers and sunscreen (under it).

Copper peptides and C do not mix. They basically cancel each other.

There is more information on this on the skinbiology site. You can use both products; just not together at the same time.

What do you mean by under it? Don't you mean over vitamin C?

Sorry; it was early morning for me. I will clarify. If you apply vitamin c first, then the sunscreen. Vitamin C works well with sunscreen and I have read it helps your sunscreen protect you against sun damage.

Vitamin C is water-solube compound; therefore you can either mix it with other water-based serum, for eample hyaluronic Acid (HOWEVER NOT oil-base compound)

then you can wait for couple minutes for it to absorb to skin. then you can apply the Oil-base serum or moisturzier.
