Frequently Asked Questions How does vitamin C in this moisturizer help aging skin? + Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate and ascorbic acid boost collagen production to firm skin and reduce fine lines, while brightening dullness and protecting against free radicals. The moisturizer format makes it easy to use daily — no separate serum needed for basic vitamin C benefits. Is this moisturizer good for oily or acne-prone skin? + It's best for dry/aging skin due to its richer texture. For oily/combination, try Extreme Sheer instead. If you have dry/aging skin with occasional oiliness, use sparingly — it hydrates deeply without feeling overly heavy. Can I use this under SPF or at night? + Yes — perfect as a daytime base under SPF (vitamin C enhances sun protection) or alone at night for overnight repair. The antioxidants work around the clock to fight free radicals. Will this moisturizer help with fine lines and firmness? + Yes — vitamin C stimulates collagen to improve firmness and reduce fine lines over time. Use consistently (8–12 weeks) for visible plumping and smoother texture. Is this pregnancy safe? + We always recommend consulting with your physician or OB-GYN before using any skincare during pregnancy. Over Achiever contains vitamin C with no harsh actives, but your doctor knows your specific situation best. Have that conversation and follow their guidance. Can I use this alone or do I need a serum? + It works great alone as a daily moisturizer with built-in vitamin C benefits. For enhanced results, layer after a serum (like VC or Clean Slate) — it seals in actives while adding hydration and protection.
