Red light therapy enhances product absorption — making vitamin C serum significantly more effective when applied after an RLT session. Here's how to combine them for maximum anti-aging benefits.

The Science

RLT and vitamin C work synergistically:

  • RLT: Stimulates collagen production and enhances product absorption
  • Vitamin C: Inhibits melanin production, neutralizes free radicals, and is essential for collagen synthesis
  • Combined: Vitamin C absorption is enhanced by RLT, and vitamin C supports the collagen production RLT stimulates

The Combination Protocol

  1. Clean your face. Remove all makeup and skincare products.
  2. Use RLT for 5–10 minutes. On bare skin.
  3. Apply vitamin C serum immediately after. While skin is primed for absorption.
  4. Follow with moisturizer. Lock in hydration.
  5. Always wear sunscreen. Vitamin C and RLT don't make skin sun-sensitive, but sunscreen is always essential.
