Vit C serum has caused neck irritation - but not face?

I’ve been using Nip & Fab Vit C serum for about 2 weeks, just in the morning and Inkey retinol at night. Realised a few days ago that my neck has come up in red, blotchy hives!

I’m pretty sure it’s the Vit C- but why is it ok on my face? Is it because neck skin is more delicate? It does tingle a bit when I apply it but my face feels fine - in fact more than fine, I was bloody delighted to notice tonight that it’s actually fading an age spot I’ve had for years!! I used another Vit C serum recently - the one Louise Redknapp advertises and that did absolutely nothing so I’m thrilled to be seeing results.

I’ve put nothing on my neck at all since the irritation started but I’m assuming I should continue with my SPF50 as you need extra protection when using the serum and my neck skin is obviously damaged!

Neck is always more sensitive than face. The skin is thinner and it is prone to irritation
