This product contains a high concentration of Vitamin C. If you have extremely sensitive skin or are new to Vitamin C, we recommend starting with fewer drops and working your way up to a full dose.

Always use a broad-spectrum sunscreen as the final step in your morning routine when using a Vitamin C serum, as it helps the antioxidants work even harder.

Vitamin C is one of the "big three" ingredients in skincare for a reason: it works. This specific formula is great because it uses the classic 15% Ascorbic Acid, Vitamin E, and Ferulic Acid combination, which is the gold standard for stability and absorption. If you notice a slight tingle upon application, don't worry, that is just the active Vitamin C doing its job. Just be sure to store the bottle in a cool, dark place to keep the ingredients fresh and potent.

This product is fragrance-free. You may notice a faint, slightly metallic scent which is natural for high-concentration Vitamin C and Ferulic Acid.

Why should I use this in the morning?
While you can use it at night, Vitamin C is most effective when used in the morning. Its primary job is to act as an antioxidant, meaning it neutralizes the environmental damage (like sun and pollution) you encounter during the day. Think of it as an extra layer of armor under your sunscreen.

Will this make my skin sensitive to the sun?
Actually, it’s the opposite. Vitamin C helps defend your skin against UV damage. However, it does not replace sunscreen. Using both together provides the best possible protection against sun-induced aging.

My serum looks slightly yellow. Is that normal?
Yes. Pure Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) can naturally take on a slight yellow tint over time. If the serum turns a dark orange or brown, it has likely oxidized and lost its potency, which is why keeping it out of direct sunlight is important.
