Why Most Vitamin C Serums Lose Their Sparkle

Typical vitamin C serums are made with ascorbic acid

which oxidizes quickly and can decay within months. In other words, much of the potency can be lost while the bottle is sitting on a shelf.

Ascorbic acid is also more acidic and irritating to your skin.

The Gold Standard of Vitamin C

You deserve the best. So we use sodium ascorbyl phosphate (SAP), a naturally occuring form of vitamin C that is far more stable, gentle, and bioavailable than ascorbic acid.

Meaning you get better results without the irritation.

Size Matters When It Comes to Hydration

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is well-loved for its hydrating benefits. But most skincare products use a cheaper HA with a molecular size that is too large to penetrate deeply.

We use the ideal size HA, based on the latest research.5, 6

Keeping it Zen

We practice ingredient minimalism. Our goal is to keep the list of ingredients humble while formulating products more effective than anything else. That’s why you won’t find parabens, sulfates, fragrances, or hard-to-pronounce chemicals. Those are the opposite of peaceful.

  • 1

    Apply evenly to your face and neck daily in the morning, at night, or both.

  • 2

    I just love this company

    This is the perfect serum after cleansing and before hydrating. I have sensitive skin and this just feels like my face is getting all the necessary goodness it needs! I just ran out and bought more the same day!

    Fades scars, no flares!

    This is a high quality vitamin c serum. I have dark marks from acne scars on my face and after using this for about 11 months they have faded tremendously. I also had scars on my back from a dress with a wire, decided to put it on there and they’re almost gone!! Going to try to find the photos but this serum is amazing. A just have for any skin care routine, especially if you have suffer from hyperpigmentation or acne scars. Plus, it does trigger seborrheic dermatitis which is rare for a vitamin c serum.

    Paige! 11 months of watching those acne scars fade tremendously - what an incredible transformation! 🙌 And we're absolutely blown away that you tried it on those wire dress scars on your back and they're almost completely gone too! That's the kind of results that show just how powerful this Vitamin C formula really is.

    Your experience with hyperpigmentation fading over time is exactly what we hoped for when we created this serum. When you can tackle both facial acne scars AND those unexpected marks from life, that's hitting all the marks for a truly versatile skincare powerhouse!

    And you're so right about it being rare to find a Vitamin C serum that doesn't trigger seb derm flares - we know how frustrating it can be when you want the brightening benefits but your skin just can't handle most formulas. It's wonderful that your skin is getting all that scar-fading power while staying calm and comfortable.

    We'd love to see those before and after photos if you find them! Your skin has been on such an amazing journey over these 11 months.

    Thank you for this fantastic 5-star review and for making this serum a staple in your routine. Stories like yours show other folks dealing with hyperpigmentation and acne scars exactly what's possible with the right gentle yet effective formula! 💚
