I just whipped up my very first batch of Vitamin C Serum. I used one of Kassie's recipes... the one with Vitamin E & Jojoba Oil.
I plan to use it in the morning and continue using my CPs and Retin A at night. My question is, do I need to wait 30 minutes after cleansing my face in the morning before I apply tha Vitamin C Serum? I use Neutrogena Fresh Face Cleanser in the light blue bottle. I know I've read that one must wait approx. 20-30 for the ph in the skin to return to normal (at least I think that's the reason) before applying products. So, do I continue with this wait time with the serum as I do with my CPs at night? Thank you.

I have never waited after cleansing to use C serum. I do wait 20-30 min. after the C serum before applying moisturizer or other products though.

I really don't do either, beyond the 3-5 minutes. There is a thread all about wait times ph and why or why not. Smile
