What it is

High-concentration vitamin C serum formulated to visibly brighten, even tone, and provide antioxidant support against environmental stressors.

Who it's for

• Normal, combination, or oily skin accustomed to acids or active serums.
• Those targeting dullness, uneven tone, and appearance of dark spots.
• Users who can tolerate potent actives and will pair with daily sunscreen.

Key ingredients (INCI)

• Ascorbic Acid (23%) — antioxidant vitamin C to help improve brightness and even tone.
• Tocotrienol (Vitamin E) — lipid-phase antioxidant that supports stability and synergy with vitamin C.
• Panthenol — helps soothe and replenish moisture.
• Hyaluronate and humectants — hydration support to buffer potential dryness.
• Allantoin — comfort and calm appearance of redness.

Free-from / texture

• Light, slightly oily serum that absorbs to a dewy finish.
• No added fragrance or essential oils in the base formula.
• Packaged to limit light/air exposure; use within the recommended period after opening.

How to use & order

• Apply to clean, dry skin after toner/essence; avoid eye area.
• Start with 2-3 drops, 2-3 times per week at night; increase frequency if tolerated.
• Follow with moisturizer; use broad-spectrum SPF 30+ every morning.

Conflicts & layering tips

• Avoid combining in the same routine with strong retinoids, high-percentage AHAs/BHAs, or benzoyl peroxide to reduce irritation.
• Can be paired with niacinamide, peptides, and hydrating serums after application.
• Use on dry skin to reduce stinging; wait a minute before layering heavier products.

Evidence & notes

• 23% L-ascorbic acid is considered strong; gradual ramp-up helps manage sensitivity.
• Oxidation changes color/scent; discard if serum turns deep orange/brown or causes stinging.
• Antioxidant benefits depend on consistent use with sun protection.

Safety

• External use only; stop use if burning, swelling, or prolonged redness occurs.
• Patch test before full-face use, especially if you are new to high-strength vitamin C.
• Avoid on compromised or freshly exfoliated skin; consult a professional post-procedure.
• For pregnancy/breastfeeding, vitamin C is generally cosmetic-safe; defer to your clinician for personal advice.
