Vitamin C Serum
A daily vitamin C serum for brightness and even tone. Built around ascorbic acid, the form of vitamin C that does the work, stabilized by ferulic acid and vitamin E. Goes on under your moisturizer. For all skin types.
16 ingredients. Most vitamin C serums run longer and still bury the vitamin C behind fillers. This puts it second on the list, where it belongs.
Ascorbic acid brightens and evens skin tone over time. Ferulic acid and vitamin E keep it stable and add antioxidant protection. Hyaluronic acid keeps it from drying the skin. A few drops, once a day.
How to Use:
After cleansing, apply a few drops to clean, dry skin and pat gently. You may notice a natural citrus-forward scent from the active Vitamin C and botanical extracts. This is normal and fades quickly as the serum absorbs. Follow with Hydrating Moisturizer and Lightweight Mineral SPF.
Ingredients:
- Water (Aqua): the solvent that carries the rest of the formula.
- Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C): the active. Pure vitamin C to brighten and even skin tone over time. Listed second because it's the point of the product, not an afterthought.

- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice: soothes and adds light hydration.
- Glycerin: draws moisture to the surface of the skin.
- Oleth-20: keeps the formula evenly mixed so the actives stay suspended.
- Hydroxyethylcellulose: gives the serum its consistency for an even drop.
- Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E): antioxidant. Works with the vitamin C and helps keep it stable.

- Citrus Tangerina (Tangerine) Peel Oil: a trace plant extract for skin conditioning.
- Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Peel Oil: a trace plant extract for skin conditioning.
