1 / 2Vitamin C Boosting Serum
A lightweight vitamin C serum aimed at brightening dull skin and evening out tone, using a stable vitamin C derivative alongside pure ascorbic acid. It sinks in quickly without a sticky film, so it slots easily into a morning routine. A good entry point for normal, combination, or dry skin that wants brightening without a harsh, high-strength vitamin C.
More detail
It pairs 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid, a gentler and more stable vitamin C derivative, with ascorbic acid, plus niacinamide and panthenol for added brightening and comfort, and sea buckthorn extract and several forms of hyaluronic acid for antioxidant and hydration support. The texture is thin and fast-absorbing with a non-tacky finish. Use it in the morning on clean skin before moisturizer, and always follow with sunscreen, since vitamin C works best alongside daily SPF. It's formulated to be lower-irritation and vegan, so it's approachable for sensitive skin, though anyone new to vitamin C should still patch test. Visible tone changes tend to be gradual and depend on consistent use.
