Description

Stabilized Vitamin C Serum (SAP + Ferulic)

Bright, balanced, and comfortable—daily antioxidant care without the sting.

This is more than a basic vitamin C—it's a stabilized antioxidant system built around Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (SAP), a gentle vitamin C derivative known for its skin-brightening support and everyday tolerability. We pair SAP with Ferulic Acid to reinforce the antioxidant network and help the formula stay fresh and effective on skin.

To keep things calm and hydrated, the serum layers Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5), Allantoin, and classic humectants (Glycerin + Propanediol 1,3) for cushiony moisture. Snow Mushroom (Tremella) adds light, water-binding slip, while Green Tea Extract supplies soothing polyphenols. The result is a fast-absorbing, non-sticky finish that leaves skin looking refreshed and more even in appearance.

Product Compatibility

How to Use Vitamin C Serum in Your Routine

This stabilized Vitamin C serum can be layered with other products to maximize results while maintaining skin comfort. Below is a breakdown of how it interacts with common skincare steps.

Product	Compatibility	When to Use	Notes
h2Peptide Serum	✔️ Excellent	AM & PM	Apply Vitamin C first, allow absorption, then layer peptides to hydrate and firm. The combo supports collagen and skin resilience.
Hyaluronic Acid Serum	✔️ Excellent	AM & PM	HA acts as a humectant base, Vitamin C brightens and protects. Use HA first, then layer Vitamin C for maximum benefit.
Bakuchiol Oil	✔️ Compatible	PM	Use Vitamin C serum in the morning and Bakuchiol Oil at night for antioxidant and pro-collagen benefits without irritation.
Chemical Exfoliants (AHA/BHA)	✔️ With Care	PM (2–3x/week)	If using exfoliants, wait 10 minutes before applying Vitamin C serum. Helps prevent overstimulation and keeps the skin balanced.
Retinol / Retinoids	⚠️ Alternate Use	PM (alternate nights)	Don’t layer directly with retinoids. Alternate usage to avoid irritation and dryness.
Moisturizers	✔️ Excellent	AM & PM	Apply Vitamin C serum before moisturizer for best penetration. Moisturizer seals in hydration and antioxidants.
SPF	✔️ Required	AM (last step)	Vitamin C boosts UV defense but does not replace sunscreen. Always apply SPF as the final step in your morning routine.

⚠️ A Note on Advanced Use

Some advanced users choose to layer Vitamin C, h2Peptide Serum, and exfoliating acids carefully in the same routine. While effective, this can increase the risk of irritation.

If you try this approach, start slow and use this order:

Apply Vitamin C serum first (thin, water-based layer)
Wait 10–15 minutes
Follow with h2Peptide Serum
Seal with moisturizer (and SPF in AM)

This combination may maximize brightening, antioxidant defense, and hydration — but it is not necessary for everyone. Always monitor your skin and adjust as needed.
