Vita C Plus Spot Correcting & Firming Ampoule

Brightening comes from a stable vitamin C derivative (ethyl ascorbyl ether at about 1.5%) plus niacinamide, arbutin, and tranexamic acid, a multi-angle approach to dark spots and dullness that is gentler than pure vitamin C. Firming is handled by peptides such as palmitoyl tripeptide-5 and acetyl hexapeptide-8, along with adenosine, hydrolyzed collagen, ceramides, and hyaluronic acid for support and hydration. The texture is that of a light ampoule that sinks in without heaviness. Use a few drops after toner, morning or evening; if you apply it during the day, follow with sunscreen, which helps any brightening ingredient work. One thing to note: the formula contains essential oils (eucalyptus, lavender, and citrus peel) and the fragrance components limonene and linalool, so it may not suit very reactive or fragrance-sensitive skin.
