10% Vitamin C Serum – Balanced Brightening Power

Our 10% Vitamin C serum offers the perfect balance of efficacy and gentleness. Formulated with stabilized L-Ascorbic Acid, this intermediate-strength serum delivers visible brightening and anti-aging results without the intensity of higher concentrations.

Key Benefits

• Gentle Brightening: Fades dark spots and evens skin tone
• Anti-Aging: Reduces fine lines and boosts collagen
• Daily Protection: Antioxidant shield against environmental damage
• Radiant Glow: Creates luminous, healthy-looking skin
• Suitable for Most Skin Types: Less irritating than 15-20% formulations

Why Choose 10% Vitamin C?

The 10% concentration is clinically proven to deliver significant results while remaining gentle enough for daily use, even for those with moderately sensitive skin. It’s the ideal “stepping stone” concentration—more powerful than 5% but gentler than 15%.

Research shows that 10% L-Ascorbic Acid provides 80-85% of the collagen-boosting benefits of higher concentrations, with significantly less potential for irritation.

How to Use

1. Cleanse and tone your face
2. Apply 3-4 drops to clean, dry skin
3. Gently massage into face and neck
4. Wait 2 minutes before applying other products
5. Follow with moisturiser and SPF 30+ (essential)
6. Use once daily, preferably in the morning

Pro Tip: If new to Vitamin C, start every other day and build to daily use over 2 weeks.

• Vitamin C beginners upgrading from 5% Vitamin C
• Those with moderately sensitive skin

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this during the day?

Absolutely! Morning application is actually ideal. Vitamin C provides powerful antioxidant protection against UV damage and pollution throughout the day. Always follow with SPF 30 or higher.

How long before I see results?

Most users notice brighter, more radiant skin within 2-4 weeks. Significant improvement in dark spots and fine lines becomes visible after 6-10 weeks of consistent daily use.

Can I mix this with other serums?

Yes! Layer with our Hyaluronic Acid Serum for hydration or Niacinamide Serum for pore refinement. Apply Vitamin C first, wait 2 minutes, then layer other products.

Will this irritate my skin?

The 10% concentration is well-tolerated by most skin types. Some may experience mild tingling for 30-60 seconds after application—this is normal. If irritation persists, reduce frequency to every other day.

How should I store this serum?

Store in a cool, dark place with the cap tightly sealed. Refrigeration can extend shelf life. Discard if the serum turns dark brown or develops a strong odor—signs of oxidation.

Can I use this with retinol?

Yes, but use them at different times: Vitamin C in the morning, our Retinol 2% at night. This maximizes benefits while minimizing potential irritation.
