My skin is getting darker after I started using vitamin c. I use it at night and cover it with a layer of aloevera. What could be the reason behind this.

Hi, pls protect your skin with sunscreen during the day. Stop the vit C if the skin is getting darker with it. Vit C may cause irritation or sensitivity in some people if its concentration is high or if its ingredients are unstable.
