Vitamin C Serum

FAQ

• How soon will I see results? +

  Most users report noticeable improvements in skin texture and tone within 4-6 weeks of consistent use, with full results taking up to 3 months. User results may vary.

• Can I use it with retinol, niacinamide, or exfoliants? +

  Yes to all three. The old rule about vitamin C not mixing with niacinamide comes from a lab scenario, not a bathroom shelf — use them together freely. Retinol and exfoliants are best kept to your evening routine, with the serum in the morning. That is not a compatibility problem; it just gives each active a clean run.

• What did the clinical study actually show? +

  We commissioned an independent 8-week clinical study at Essex Testing Clinic (34 participants). Here is everything it showed:

  94% saw visibly brighter skin

  94% saw faded discoloration

  94% skin texture felt smoother

  91% saw more even skin tone

  100% skin texture felt softer

  91% saw improved skin clarity

  And 0% reported irritation — across the entire 8 weeks.

• Is this good for oily or acne-prone skin? +

  Yes. This serum is non-comedogenic and kind to acne-prone skin — it works for all skin types, and can improve the appearance of acne discoloration over time.

• Why is the serum amber, and how do I know it is still good? +

  It arrives with a natural amber tint — that is the formula on day one, not a serum that has turned. We use sodium ascorbyl phosphate (SAP), which is more stable than L-ascorbic acid and less prone to oxidation, so it holds its potency through the bottle rather than browning on your shelf in a matter of weeks. Keep it out of direct sun, and replace it about six months after opening.

• What is the consistency like? +

  The Vitamin C Serum is a thin, gel-like serum that absorbs quickly and easily into skin.

• Can I use it twice a day? +

  While we recommend using it in the morning, it can also be applied at night if you are not using another serum.

• Does this work well under makeup? +

  Yes, our lightweight, fast-absorbing formula makes it an excellent base for makeup.

• Does this have a fragrance? +

  No synthetic fragrance — ever. What you smell is the formula itself: konjac root, chamomile and clary sage give it a faint botanical aroma that dissipates within a minute of applying. If you've been avoiding vitamin C because of the smell, this is the one to try.
