Why it works

Vitamin C Serum is formulated to brighten, hydrate, and protect the skin with a synergistic blend of stabilized Vitamin C, antioxidants, humectants, and soothing agents. Each ingredient was chosen to improve skin radiance, maintain barrier strength, and support a smoother, healthier-looking complexion.

A Formulator’s Approach to Radiance

This serum combines a stabilized Vitamin C derivative with hydration-boosting humectants, soothing botanicals, and antioxidant partners. Together, they help defend against oxidative stress, improve skin tone, and support hydration for a brighter and more resilient complexion.

Key Ingredients

Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (5%) — A stabilized, gentle form of Vitamin C that brightens and supports collagen maintenance.
Panthenol (Vitamin B5) — Provides hydration, barrier support, and helps calm visible irritation.
Allantoin — A soothing agent that reduces the feel of dryness and rough texture.
Glycerin — A classic humectant that draws water into the skin for lasting hydration.
Propanediol — A plant-based solvent and humectant that enhances penetration of actives and boosts preservation.
Ferulic Acid — An antioxidant that works synergistically with Vitamin C to improve stability and environmental defense.
Snow Mushroom Extract — A polysaccharide-rich hydrator that forms a lightweight film to reduce water loss.
Green Tea Extract — Provides antioxidant and soothing benefits, supporting clear and calm skin.
Geogard ECT — A broad-spectrum preservative system that maintains formula freshness and safety.

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.

This is not medical advice. Consult a dermatologist for personalized guidance, especially if using prescription-strength actives.
