Skinceuticals c 10 serum skin staining issue.

Question

how many minutes should you wait before applying a hydrating serum over the c 10 so doesnt effect ph level and absorption? now my issue, I use c 10, even on clean dry skin and apply hydrating serum 5-10 minutes after. the serum is pale yellow , but hours later my skin darkens to dark yellow/orange in spots where serum was applied. what is causing this? how can I make this not happen?

It is quite unusual for Serum 10 to stain your skin, you may be applying too many drops and not allowing the product to sink in before applying your other skin care steps. 
Try applying a drop on each area of your face and gently pat, allow to sink for 2-3 minutes before applying any other products. You can even try leaving the product on for half an hour for maximum absorption and see if this helps.

Thank you for sharing your concern. Please allow the product to absorb before applying other skincare products.
SkinCeuticals Serum 10 should not be staining the skin. Are you applying this over the face or doing a spot treatment? It is also recommended to apply a broad spectrum sunscreen, like SkinCeuticals Physical Fusion UV Defense SPF50 after Serum 10. We would like to speak with you regarding your experience.
