Mine improved since using vit C Confused

Could it be heat or harsh products doing this?

Really? So it actually helped?

I am not sure what I can and can't use since
I noticed I have more broken caps on my cheeks!

I was talking about red dots I noticed after the hellish facial experence I had. And now I realized they are broken caps! Sad

I guess must have gotten them from the facial...

I couldn't say it was the C serum, but I was using it at the same time. I also used SC B5 gel and strivectin at the time as well as murad essential C eye cream. It was right by my eye.

I don't think there is a reason why vit C would cause broken capilaries. Usually extreme temperatures, harsh products, or just genetics (and possibly vitamin deficiencies?) can be the cause. If anything, vitamin C is supposed to help heal the skin.

Vitamin C has been shown research studies to strengthen capillaries. Rough application (e.g. dermabrasion) and allergic reactions can make capillaries more visible.
