Dr Naomi’s ABC: Your Ultimate Skin Nutrient Power Trio

Welcome to the skincare version of a perfectly crafted espresso martini – equal parts science, glow, and age proof strategy with a splash of hello look at me fun. If your skincare routine needs some structure it’s time to introduce the ultimate skin nutrient-building crew: Vitamins A, B, and C.

These vitamins are powerful, but they need rules. We’re talking order, timing, and smart layering to deny resistive factors (a.k.a. the things trying to harm your skin like UV, pollution, and lifestyle choices).

Used correctly, A, B, and C turn your skin into a fortress of glow, hydration, collagen-building resilience that fights damage.

Whether you’re a tradie battling the Aussie sun, a night owl running on caffeine, or a minimalist skeptic who “forgets” skincare exists until you start noticing some sun damage, its all about A, B and C – with some SPF of course.

Let’s break down what these nutritious skin vitamins do, how to layer them, and why they work best together.

Meet the Skin Nutrient Building Power Trio

Vitamin A: The Overnight Architect

(aka Retinol, Retinal, Retinoic Acid, Bakuchiol)

Vitamin A is  the master of skin turnover and renewal, collagen banking, and denying breakouts, fine lines, and dullness.

This vitamin is the reason your skin wakes up looking fresher, firmer, and clearer.

How to Use It Properly:

• Use at night 

• Start slow—jumping into high-strength retinol on day one is like running a marathon with zero training. Slowly introduce it.

• Apply after cleansing but before heavy creams – it likes direct access to your skin cells.

• Pair with hydration (Vitamin B and ceramides are its ride-or-dies).

• Pregnant? Swap for Bakuchiol—same collagen-building perks, without the risk.

Best For:

• People wanting smoother, firmer skin (a.k.a. everyone over 25).

• Collagen builders (a.k.a. anyone who wants to slow down skin aging, collagen bank NOW).

• Acne-prone skin (goodbye, congestion).

• Uneven texture & pigmentation (the skin-polishing pro).

Downtime: Peeling? Yes. Purging? Maybe. This is the “ugly but worth it” phase – just like growing out a bad haircut. Think of Vitamin A process initially as your skin shedding its bad choices.

Try: Dr Naomi Vitamin Amen Serum – a clinical-grade retinol that works without wrecking your skin barrier.

Vitamin B: The Hydration Guardian

(Niacinamide, Panthenol, Biotin, Folic Acid)

Vitamin B is the underrated team player. Vitamin B is the ultimate skin nutrient protector- it strengthens your skin barrier, keeps hydration locked in, and denies environmental stress from breaking down your collagen.

How to Use It Properly:

• Use morning and night (hydration is an all-day event).

• Layer before heavier creams—it’s like the skincare version of a double espresso: lightweight, fast-absorbing, and gets the job done.

• Safe for literally everyone—oily, dry, acne-prone, rosacea? Niacinamide says bring it on, I’ve got you 

• Pairs well with A and C (the middle sibling who gets along with everyone).

Best For:

• Dehydrated, stressed-out skin (looking at you, late-night Netflix binges).

• Sensitive skin & redness-prone faces (think calming, balancing, repairing,a reactive skin savior).

• Oily skin (controls sebum, reduces breakouts).

• Barrier repair (for skin that’s been through a rough time).

Try: Dr Naomi Let it B Vitamin B Serum – packed with niacinamide to keep your skin barrier thriving like it just had a green juice.

Vitamin C: The Glow Guardian

(Ascorbic Acid, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, THD Ascorbate, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate)

If Vitamin A is the architect and B is the protector, Vitamin C is the hype girl—bringing out your glow, blocking free radicals, helping your skin resist UV damage and boosting collagen.

How to Use It Properly:

• Use in the morning (because it fights UV and pollution like a skincare superhero).

• Apply after cleansing but before moisturizer and SPF.

• If using Vitamin A, keep them apart—C in the AM, A in the PM.

• Works best with Vitamin E & Ferulic Acid (supercharged antioxidant protection).

Best For:

• Dull, tired skin (radiance boost, we see you, sleep-deprived professionals).

• Pigmentation & sun damage (bye sun spots, dark spots, evens tone).

• City dwellers & sun lovers (fights pollution and UV exposure).

Downtime: None—unless you’re ultra sensitive, in which case, ease in with a gentler approach by mixing it with your moisturiser or alternating days to start.

Try: Dr Naomi Vitamin C Serum – high-potency brightening without the irritation.

How to Layer A, B & C for Maximum Gains

MORNING ROUTINE:

1. Cleanse (A must, because your skin deserves a fresh start).

2. Vitamin C (fights free radicals, glow,, collagen boost).

3. Vitamin B (strengthens your barrier, hydration, oil control).

4. Moisturizer (lock it all in).

5. SPF (non-negotiable, because sun damage undoes everything).

NIGHT ROUTINE:

1. Cleanse (double cleanse if you wore SPF, which you did, right?).

2. Vitamin B (because hydration is forever).

3. Vitamin A (collagen-building overnight transformation).

4. Moisturizer (seal the deal).

Why ABC Works Best Together

Used in the right order, this trio denies damage, builds a bank of collagen, and strengthens your skin’s natural defenses.

ABC says Access Denied Aging!!!

Vitamin A = Resurface, renewal & Rebuild collagen

Vitamin B = Hydration & barrier repair

Vitamin C = Brightening & protection

Together, they create the ultimate skin resilience strategy to deny resistive factors that break down your skin while supercharging collagen production and glow.

SPF: The BOSS of Skincare and The Non-Negotiable Final Step

If you’re using A, B, and C without SPF, you’re basically undoing all your hard work, you might as well throw away your skincare – its like following a meal plan perfectly and then washing it down with a litre of Coke.

Sun exposure breaks down collagen, accelerates aging, and reverses all your hard work.

Vitamin A makes your skin more sun-sensitive.

Vitamin C is wasted without sun protection.

Pigmentation will come back stronger than your caffeine cravings if you don’t block UV rays.
