Our Vitamin C & Hyaluronic Acid Serum is a vegan and cruelty-free elixir designed to deliver bright, youthful, and hydrated skin.

This advanced formula features a stabilized form of Vitamin C known for its antioxidant power, helping to protect against environmental stressors like UV damage and pollution.

 Brightens & Evens Skin Tone – Vitamin C reduces the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation.

 Hydrates & Plumps – Hyaluronic Acid and Allantoin lock in moisture for a dewy glow.

 Protects Against Free Radicals – Shields the skin from pollution and premature aging.

 Smooths Fine Lines – Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 (Argireline) helps reduce expression lines over time.

1. Apply 3-4 drops to cleansed skin in the morning.

2. Follow with moisturizer and broad-spectrum SPF 30+.

3. For best results, use consistently and avoid mixing with exfoliating acids (AHAs/BHAs) in the same routine.

Storage Recommendations

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the potency of Vitamin C.

• If possible, keep it in a dark or opaque container to prevent oxidation.

• Avoid exposing the dropper to air for too long, as Vitamin C can degrade when exposed to light and oxygen.

Shelf Life & Expiry

• Once opened, use within 6 months for maximum efficacy.

• Unopened, the serum remains effective for up to 12 months when stored properly.

Potential Skin Reactions

• Some users may experience a slight tingling sensation upon application. This is normal and indicates the serum is working.

• If redness, excessive dryness, or irritation occurs, reduce usage to every other day and apply a moisturizer on top.

• Discontinue use if irritation persists and consult a dermatologist if needed.

Patch Test Instructions

• Before first use, apply a small amount to the inside of your wrist or behind your ear.

• Wait 24 hours—if no irritation occurs, the serum is safe to use on your face.

Who Should Avoid This Serum?

• Those with a known allergy to Vitamin C or any listed ingredients.

• Individuals currently using strong exfoliants or prescription skincare (consult a dermatologist before use).

Best Ingredients to Pair with Vitamin C
Vitamin C is a powerhouse antioxidant, but pairing it with the right ingredients can enhance its efficacy and ensure optimal skin benefits without irritation.
Hyaluronic Acid – Deeply hydrates and plumps skin, preventing dryness that may occur with Vitamin C use.
Peptides – Work synergistically with Vitamin C to boost collagen production and improve skin elasticity.
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) (When Formulated Correctly) – Helps brighten skin tone, reduce hyperpigmentation, and balance oil production. Note: Some older studies suggest potential incompatibility, but modern formulations allow them to work well together.
Sunscreen (SPF 30+) – Essential! Vitamin C enhances sun protection by neutralizing free radicals, but it does not replace sunscreen.
Ferulic Acid & Vitamin E – These antioxidants stabilize Vitamin C, making it more effective and extending its shelf life.
Centella Asiatica (Cica) – Soothes the skin and reduces potential irritation from Vitamin C use.
Ceramides & Squalane – Strengthen the skin barrier and prevent moisture loss, reducing irritation.

Avoid Mixing with These Ingredients in the Same Routine

AHAs & BHAs (Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid, Salicylic Acid) – Combining Vitamin C with exfoliating acids can cause over-exfoliation, irritation, and increased sensitivity. If using AHAs/BHAs, apply them at night and Vitamin C in the morning.
Retinol & Retinoids – Vitamin C and retinol are both potent actives that can cause excessive irritation when used together. It’s best to use Vitamin C in the morning and retinol at night.
Strong pH-Altering Ingredients – Vitamin C works best at a pH of 3.0-3.5. Highly alkaline products (such as harsh cleansers with high pH levels) can destabilize it, reducing its effectiveness.

How to Properly Layer Vitamin C in Your Routine

AM Routine (Best for Vitamin C Use):
Cleanser
Toner (Optional)
Vitamin C Serum (Apply to dry skin and wait 1-2 minutes for absorption)
Hyaluronic Acid (If needed)
Moisturizer
Sunscreen (SPF 30+) (Essential!)

PM Routine (If Using Retinol or Acids):
Cleanser
Exfoliating Toner (AHAs/BHAs – Only if needed, 2-3x per week)
Retinol (Alternate nights if using exfoliants)
Peptides, Niacinamide, or Hydrating Serum
Moisturizer & Night Cream

Usage & Skin Type Considerations
Best for:
• Dull, uneven skin tone
• Hyperpigmentation & dark spots
• Fine lines & early signs of aging
• Sun-damaged skin
• Oily & combination skin
Use with Caution If:
• Sensitive or reactive skin – Start with lower concentrations (5-10%), and gradually build tolerance.
• Prone to irritation – Perform a patch test before full-face application.
• Dry skin – Always follow with hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid or squalane.
Not recommended for:
• Highly compromised or broken skin – Avoid using if you have severe eczema, rosacea flare-ups, or open wounds.

Frequency & Application Tips
Apply once daily (AM preferred) for optimal antioxidant protection. If skin tolerates well, you may use it twice daily (AM & PM).

First-time users: Start with every other day to assess skin tolerance before daily use.

Apply on clean, dry skin before heavier serums and creams.

Wait 1-2 minutes before layering other products to allow proper absorption.

Always pair with SPF 30+ sunscreen in the morning to enhance UV protection and prevent irritation.

Storage & Shelf Life
Store in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight to prevent oxidation.

Refrigeration is recommended for extended potency.

Check for color changes – If Vitamin C serum turns dark yellow, orange, or brown, it has oxidized and lost effectiveness.

How Long to See Results?
2-4 weeks – Brighter, more radiant skin.
4-6 weeks – Reduction in mild pigmentation & improved skin tone.
8-12 weeks – Fading of deeper dark spots & fine lines.
