Ingredients & What They Do

Ascorbic Acid - 8%
Pure Vitamin C in its most potent and effective form. Ascorbic Acid is a proven antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals, stimulates collagen production and visibly reverses multiple signs of skin aging. At 8% it delivers strong brightening and anti-aging results while remaining gentle enough for daily use on most skin types.

Alpha Arbutin - 2%
The most potent form of Arbutin available in skincare. It works by directly inhibiting the enzyme that triggers melanin production targeting dark spots and hyperpigmentation at the source. At 2% it is double the standard concentration for faster and more visible spot-fading results with consistent use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How long until I see results?
A: Visible brightening and improvement in dark spots is typically noticeable within 4 to 6 weeks of consistent twice daily use. Stubborn hyperpigmentation may take 8 to 12 weeks.

Q: Can I use this with Niacinamide?
A: Not on the same application. Vitamin C and Niacinamide can reduce each other's effectiveness when used together. Use Vitamin C in the morning and Niacinamide in the evening.

Q: Is pure Ascorbic Acid irritating?
A: At 8% it is well tolerated by most skin types. If you experience sensitivity start by using once daily and gradually increase to twice daily as skin adjusts. Always patch test before first use.

Q: Do I need SPF with this serum?
A: Yes — absolutely. Vitamin C increases photosensitivity. Always apply SPF 30 or higher every morning when using this serum to protect results and prevent further dark spots.

Q: Is it suitable for acne-prone skin?
A: Yes. Both Ascorbic Acid and Alpha Arbutin help fade post-acne marks and blemish scars. The lightweight formula does not clog pores and is suitable for acne-prone skin.
