Layering them can be too strong for some skin types, especially when first starting.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-item\" onclick=\"this.classList.toggle('open')\">\n<div class=\"faq-question\">Does it sting or tingle?<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-answer\">A slight tingling sensation is normal, especially during the first few uses. This typically fades as your skin adjusts to the active vitamin C.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-item\" onclick=\"this.classList.toggle('open')\">\n<div class=\"faq-question\">How is this different from other vitamin C serums?<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-answer\">ZO\u2019s formula is stabilized and self-activating, so it stays potent without oxidizing. Many drugstore formulas lose efficacy quickly or irritate the skin due to poor pH balance or instability.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-item\" onclick=\"this.classList.toggle('open')\">\n<div class=\"faq-question\">How long before I see results?<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-answer\">Clients often report a visible glow within 7\u201310 days. Brighter, more even skin tone typically shows up within 4\u20136 weeks of consistent use.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-item\" onclick=\"this.classList.toggle('open')\">\n<div class=\"faq-question\">Can I use this on sensitive skin?<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-answer\">Yes\u2014this formula is well-tolerated by most skin types.
