Can I use Oblepikha Siberica Antioxidant Face Serum in the morning, at night, or both?

Yes, it can be used in the morning, in the evening, or both, depending on how your skin tolerates the formula. The antioxidant pair of vitamin C (sodium ascorbyl phosphate and sea buckthorn hydrolate) and vitamin E (tocopheryl acetate) is often chosen for the morning because antioxidants help skin respond to city air, sun and other external stressors during the day. The formula also contains retinyl palmitate, a milder vitamin A derivative, which is frequently used at night for its renewing role. Neither choice is wrong; what matters is consistency and sun protection.

If you are new to vitamin C or vitamin A derivatives, start by applying the serum once a day, three times a week, rather than twice daily. After cleansing, apply a thin layer to face and neck and let it absorb for a minute before following with your usual moisturizer. In the morning, always finish with sunscreen — the serum itself is not a sunscreen and does not replace one. On days when you skip the serum, keep the rest of your routine gentle so the skin can adjust.
