FAQs
Is this serum gentle enough for sensitive skin?
Yes. This formula uses a stable, low-irritation form of Vitamin C, supported by soothing ingredients like aloe vera and rose oil to brighten and protect without the stinging or redness that strong acids can cause.
Can I use this serum every day?
Absolutely. It’s designed for daily use, ideally in the morning to help neutralize free radicals and boost radiance throughout the day. For most skin types, it’s gentle enough for everyday wear.
Will this serum help with dark spots or pigmentation?
Yes. Vitamin C, niacinamide, bearberry (arbutin), and mulberry root extract all work to visibly brighten uneven skin tone and support a more even, luminous complexion with regular use.
Can I use this with retinol or exfoliating acids?
Yes, with care. This formula is gentle and plays well with most routines, but we recommend using Vitamin C in the morning and retinol or acids in the evening to reduce risk of irritation and get the most benefit from each active.
How soon will I see results?
Many users notice a glow within a week. With daily use, tone and clarity typically improve within 4–6 weeks.
Will it feel sticky or oily on my skin?
No. As a gel type serum, the texture is silky and fast-absorbing, with humectants like glycerin and hyaluronic acid to hydrate without tackiness. It leaves skin feeling smooth and soft.
Is it suitable for oily or breakout-prone skin?
Yes. The formula is non-comedogenic and includes ingredients like niacinamide and aloe, which are known to help balance oil and calm blemish-prone skin, while delivering antioxidant protection.
Does this serum oxidize or turn brown over time?
No. Because it uses a stabilized form of Vitamin C, it’s far less prone to oxidation than traditional L-ascorbic acid. To maintain freshness, keep the bottle capped and stored away from direct light and heat.
Can I use this during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Yes. This formula is free from retinoids and harsh acids, and the essential oils are used at skin-safe levels. As always, if you have specific concerns, we recommend consulting your healthcare provider.
Do I need to wear sunscreen with this serum?
Yes, always. Vitamin C helps defend against environmental stress, but it doesn’t replace sunscreen. For best results, apply this serum in the morning and follow with broad-spectrum sunscreen.
