After cleansing and toning, take 2-3 drops and massage into skin.
**Remember to ALWAYS wear sunscreen in the daytime when using vitamin C products.
Why we like it
A high percentage of vitamin C to brighten your complexion. The inclusion of vitamin B12 and Glutathione makes this the preferred choice for those suffering from acne. It is a multitasking serum to fight red marks from scarring, hyper-pigmentation and to accelerate the rate of wound healing.
Ingredients we love
Vitamin C – important part of collagen synthesis in skin. This wonder worker can create firmer, brighter skin. The version in this formulation is stable and won’t oxidise as fast.
Niacinamide – a brightening ingredient that is compatible with most other skincare ingredients. It helps to renew the skin surface.
Glutathione – an antioxidant that neutralises free radicals and brightens by lightening melanin.

I’m really enjoying this serum. Have been using it for over a month and am seeing an improvement in my acne scars, hormonal acne and skin tone.

I enjoyed this serum, but didn’t enjoy the amount the red in the serum stained my hands and everything I touched after using it. Would prefer it without its signature, red tint. Wouldn’t repurchase, I prefer the one from Klairs instead.

I am in my mid twenties and have not been blessed with the most firm of skin (genetics + years of sun damage). After my second purchase (noticed the effects even while using it the first time) I can definitely attest to the fact that it can make skin firmer and more youthful! Literally will not ever go without this because it has done absolute wonders for my skin. Have also noticed that dark marks from new spots fade much faster while using this product.

I am in my 20s, so I have a little bit of hyperpigmentation due to acne. This serum really helps to fade hyperpigmentation!
The serum lasted me 2 months and give me incredible results. A definite improvement on my acne scars and will buy again.

The best vitamin C I have used so far.
Pros: dark packaging, stable vitamin c, added niacinamide, quick absorbing, no red stains anywhere.
Definite improvement in dark marks with consistent use.
Cons: metallic smell can become overwhelming under mask BUT I have not yet found a strong vit c formulation with a different smell.
