Vitamin C serum

An antioxidant serum for more radiance and a more even complexion.

Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant in the skin, neutralising free radicals. Cosmetically it is used mainly to make the complexion look more even and fresher.

Formulation is decisive:

Pure ascorbic acid is effective but unstable: it oxidises in light and air and then turns brownish – a sign the product is losing potency. Dark, airtight packaging is not marketing but a necessity.

How to use:

In the morning after cleansing, before moisturiser and sun protection. Vitamin C and sunscreen complement each other well. Sensitive skin is better off starting with more stable derivatives at low concentration.
