How to use
Tap a step. Vitamin C goes on clean, dry skin, right after you cleanse and exfoliate.
Step 1 · Cleanse
Start with clean skin, morning and night.
Step 2 · Exfoliate
Polish away dull, rough texture so the rest of your routine goes onto a smoother canvas.
Step 3 · Vitamin C
Use AM and/or PM. After cleansing, apply two pumps to dry skin across the face and neck, avoiding the eye area. Allow 2 minutes for the serum to fully dry and absorb before layering additional skincare.
Step 4 · Moisturize
Once the 2-minute dry-down is complete, lock it in with moisturizer.
Step 5 · Eyes
Vitamin C stays off the eye area, so give your eyes their own step.
Step 6 · SPF (AM)
During the day, always finish with SPF.
Try the 2-minute dry-down
Giving the serum the full 2 minutes helps it absorb and minimizes pilling when you layer the next step.
What to expect
Weeks 1–2
Skin can look fresher and more radiant as antioxidants go to work and hydration improves.
Around week 4 · one bottle
One bottle of our Vitamin C Serum is about 30 days of use: brighter, more radiant-looking skin, with spots starting to soften.
Weeks 8–12
With daily SPF, dark spots continue to look lighter as skin renews through several cycles.
Everyone's skin is different. Results may vary.

Your questions
It's formulated to. 17% multi-form Vitamin C, 5% niacinamide, tranexamic acid, kojic acid and glutathione target the look of age spots, sun spots and discoloration from multiple angles for a more even-looking tone.
Skin looks brighter as the formula builds with consistent use. One bottle is about 30 days, and the goal is visibly brighter skin by the end of it.
Yes. The formula is designed for daily use and can be applied AM and/or PM on cleansed skin.
Both! In the morning, Vitamin C provides antioxidant support against environmental stressors while helping skin look brighter and more radiant. At night, it complements your evening routine to support visibly brighter, more even-looking skin. For maximum versatility, use it AM, PM or both.
After cleansing, apply Vitamin C Serum to clean, dry skin. Allow it to absorb before following with additional serums and moisturizer. During the day, always finish with SPF.
Allowing the full 2 minutes gives the serum time to fully absorb and dry into the skin, helping maximize the intended application and create a smooth base for the rest of your routine. This also helps minimize pilling when layering additional skincare.
Yes, depending on your skin’s tolerance. Because AHAs, BHAs and other exfoliating acids can also be potent, sensitive skin types may prefer to alternate them or use them at a different time of day rather than layering everything in one routine.
The formula’s rich golden appearance comes from its ingredient blend and is part of the product’s sensorial experience. Most importantly, the serum is packaged in an airless pump designed to help protect the formula from unnecessary exposure to air and oxidation.
Yes, the light citrusy scent is naturally derived from the orange peel oil.
No. Stabilized, complementary forms deliver concentrated Vitamin C without the sting, dryness or harsh low-pH feel of many high-strength formulas.
Vitamin C isn't known for increasing sun sensitivity the way some exfoliating acids and retinoids can. It actually complements your sun protection. You still need SPF every morning, because Vitamin C doesn't replace sunscreen.
Start with tone
Brightening visible discoloration creates a clearer, more luminous-looking complexion. Pick your routine, or start with the serum on its own.
Individual results may vary. Use SPF daily.
