Who should be cautious and when to see a dermatologist
Serums for uneven tone are not one-size-fits-all. If your skin is easily irritated, stings with many products, or you have a history of conditions like eczema or chronic facial redness, be extra careful with strong actives such as high-strength vitamin C, AHAs, or retinoids. In that case, it often makes sense to start with very gentle, fragrance-light formulas that focus on hydration and barrier repair first, and only then slowly layer in mild brightening ingredients like niacinamide if your skin tolerates them.
