Description

This serum is a gentle, beginner-friendly Vitamin C treatment formulated to brighten dull skin, fade dark spots, and improve overall skin tone — even on acne-prone or fungal-acne-prone complexions. Its minimalistic formulation (under 20 ingredients) and oil-capsule delivery system ensure maximum stability and absorption, delivering antioxidant and brightening actives deep into the skin without a sticky finish. The serum also delivers hydration and supports elasticity, firmness, and skin barrier health via soothing and protective botanicals and supportive actives, making it an excellent choice for sensitive or reactive skin as well.

Key Ingredients

  • Niacinamide — addresses hyperpigmentation and supports more even skin tone.

  • 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid — a stable vitamin C derivative that neutralizes free radicals and helps inhibit melanin production, contributing to brighter, clearer skin.

  • Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Extract (Sea Buckthorn) — supports skin tone improvement and helps remove toxins, aiding in brightening and overall skin clarity.

  • Camellia Sinensis Leaf Water — provides soothing, calming hydration, suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin.

  • Allantoin & Adenosine — contribute to elasticity, firmness, and anti-aging support while promoting a smooth, healthy skin texture.

Formulation Highlights:

  • Vegan, Minimalistic (fewer than 20 ingredients)

  • Mineral-Oil Free, Paraben-Free, Fragrance-Free, Sulfate-Free, Alcohol-Free, Silicone-Free.

  • Delivered via oil-capsule system for enhanced absorption and a lightweight, non-sticky texture.
