Real Vita C Serum

The brightening work comes from sodium ascorbyl phosphate, a stable vitamin C derivative that's less irritating and more shelf-stable than pure L-ascorbic acid, supported by niacinamide and a blend of fruit and citrus extracts (acerola, sea buckthorn, and several citrus fruits) for added antioxidants. Sodium hyaluronate and panthenol keep it hydrating, and the overall texture is a lightweight serum that layers easily. Use it after cleansing and toner, before moisturizer; it works morning or night, and daily sunscreen is important while you're treating tone and dark spots. Expect gradual improvement over weeks rather than an overnight change. One caution: it contains citrus extracts, a touch of bergamot oil, and fragrance components (limonene, linalool), so patch test first if your skin is fragrance-sensitive.
