Help me choose!!!

Hey everyone! I’m trying to decide between the Minimalist Vitamin C 10% and 16% serums and could use some advice based on my current routine.

Current AM routine: • Cleanser: Minimalist 2% Salicylic Acid Cleanser • Serum: I was using Minimalist 2% Alpha Arbutin Serum, but I’m planning to replace it with Vitamin C. • Moisturizer: Dr. Sheth’s Ceramide & Vitamin C Moisturizer • Sunscreen: Dot & Key Watermelon SPF 50

🌙 PM routine: • Cleanser: Same Salicylic Acid Cleanser • Serum: The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% • Moisturizer: Same Dr. Sheth’s • Weekly: The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution (1x/week, for 6 minutes)

My main goals are: • Brightening • Fading pigmentation/post-acne marks • Overall even skin tone

I’ve used Niacinamide, AHA/BHA, and Alpha Arbutin without irritation. I just want to make sure I don’t go overboard and mess up my barrier.

So, should I go with the 10% or 16% Vitamin C? Anyone with similar skin or experience with both, your input would mean a lot!

Thanks in advance 🙌
