This gentle yet effective serum is your daily defense against dullness and dark spots. Formulated for all skin types, especially those new to vitamin C, it helps to even out your complexion and restore a healthy glow without the irritation often associated with stronger actives. It's a perfect choice for maintaining radiant skin in Mauritius' bright, sunny climate.

Dealing with post-acne marks or a generally tired-looking complexion can be frustrating. This serum is designed to gently bring back your skin's natural radiance.

• Skin Type: Suitable for all skin types, including oily, combination, dry, and sensitive skin.
• Texture: A lightweight, slightly viscous serum that absorbs without heavy residue.
• Key Benefits: Brightens dull skin, helps fade the appearance of dark spots and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), provides antioxidant protection, and hydrates the skin.
• Primary Ingredients: 86.14% Vitamin Tree (Sea Buckthorn) Extract, Niacinamide, Centella Asiatica, Hyaluronic Acid.
• Best For: Beginners to vitamin C, those with sensitive skin, or anyone looking for a daily serum to maintain an even, glowing skin tone.

1. Cleanser: Start with a clean face.
2. JUMISO Vitamin Serum: Apply 2-3 drops to your face and neck.
3. Sunscreen (AM) / Moisturiser (PM): Finish by sealing in the serum and protecting your skin.

Mindful Tip: Already have a brightening serum? Finish it first before opening a new one. Substitute, don't just add.

Minimalist Routine (3 steps):

1. Cleanser: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser.
2. JUMISO Vitamin Serum: Apply 2-3 drops. This serum provides antioxidant protection that complements your sunscreen.
3. Sunscreen: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. This is the most important step to protect your skin and see results from any brightening product.

Optional Additions: Add a light moisturiser before sunscreen only if your skin feels tight or your sunscreen isn't hydrating enough.

Wait Times: Allow the serum to absorb for about 60 seconds before applying your sunscreen or moisturiser.

Minimalist Routine (3-4 steps):

1. Double Cleanse: Start with an oil cleanser to dissolve sunscreen and makeup, followed by a water-based cleanser.
2. Toner (Optional): Apply a hydrating toner to damp skin to boost moisture.
3. JUMISO Vitamin Serum: Apply 2-3 drops to help repair and brighten your skin overnight.
4. Moisturiser: Lock in the serum with a moisturiser suited to your skin type.

Texture Rule: Always apply products from the thinnest consistency (like a toner) to the thickest (like a cream).

• Amount: 2-3 drops is enough for the entire face and neck.
• Frequency: Start once daily (AM is ideal for antioxidant benefits). If well-tolerated, you can use it both AM and PM.
• Method: After cleansing and toning, dispense onto your palms and gently pat onto your skin until absorbed.
• Wait Time: Allow 30-60 seconds for the serum to sink in before applying your next product, like moisturiser or sunscreen. This helps prevent pilling.

If-This / Then-That Tips:

• If your skin is very oily: This serum is lightweight and can be followed by a gel moisturiser. In Mauritius' humidity, your sunscreen might provide enough moisture for daytime.
• If your skin is very dry: Layer this serum over a hydrating toner and seal it with a nourishing cream to lock in moisture.
• If your skin is sensitive: This serum is formulated to be gentle. Start by using it every other day in the evening for a week before moving to daily use. Always patch test first.

This serum is gentle enough for daily use alongside other actives, but it's always wise to introduce products carefully.

• Daily Use: Apply this serum every morning (AM) for antioxidant protection under your sunscreen. It can also be used in the evening (PM).
• If Using Exfoliants (AHA/BHA): You can use this serum in the AM and your exfoliating acid at night. They work well in separate routines.
  • Example Week (PM Focus): Mon: Soothing Night | Tue: Exfoliant (AHA/BHA) | Wed: Soothing Night | Thu: JUMISO Serum + Moisturiser | Fri: Soothing Night | Sat: Exfoliant (AHA/BHA) | Sun: JUMISO Serum + Moisturiser
• If Using Retinoids: Use this serum in the AM and your retinoid in the PM. On retinoid nights, you can skip this serum to keep your routine simple and minimise potential irritation.

AM/PM Cheat-Sheet:

• JUMISO Vitamin Serum (This Product): Best in AM, but okay in PM too.
• Niacinamide: Can be used AM and/or PM. This serum already contains it.
• AHA/BHA/PHA: PM only, 1–3 times per week. Do not use on the same night as retinoids.
• Retinoids: PM only, 2–4 times per week on non-consecutive nights.

• Immediately: Skin feels hydrated and appears plumper. You may notice a subtle, healthy glow.
• 2-4 Weeks: With consistent daily use and proper sun protection, your overall skin tone may start to look brighter and less dull. Redness from inflammation may appear calmer.
• 4-8+ Weeks: The appearance of newer, superficial dark spots and post-acne marks may begin to fade. Skin texture feels smoother and looks more balanced. Deeper or older pigmentation will take longer to show improvement.

Individual results vary. Consistency, especially with daily sunscreen application, is crucial for seeing brightening results.

• Why use this stabilized Vitamin C serum, not pure lemon juice? Lemon juice is highly acidic (pH ~2) and can cause chemical burns, disrupt your skin's protective barrier, and even lead to worse dark spots when exposed to the sun (phytophotodermatitis). This serum delivers a balanced, non-irritating form of Vitamin C at a skin-friendly pH, providing brightening benefits without the significant risks of DIY citrus applications.

• Works Well With: Niacinamide (already in the formula), Hyaluronic Acid, Centella Asiatica, Snail Mucin, Peptides, Ceramides, and Sunscreen. Using it in the morning under sunscreen provides enhanced protection against environmental damage.
• Use With Caution: When layering with other strong actives like high-concentration AHAs, BHAs, or retinoids in the same routine, monitor for signs of irritation. It is safest to use this serum in the AM and other strong actives in the PM.
• Avoid On: Do not apply to broken or irritated skin.

• Oily Skin: Excellent. It's lightweight and hydrating without being greasy. The Niacinamide content also helps with sebum regulation.
• Dry Skin: Very good. Provides a hydrating base layer. Should be followed by a good moisturiser to lock in the benefits.
• Combination Skin: Excellent. It balances the skin, providing hydration to dry areas without adding excess oil to the T-zone.
• Sensitive Skin: Very good. This formula is designed to be gentle, making it a suitable choice for sensitive skin types looking to introduce a vitamin serum. A patch test is always recommended.
• Acne-Prone Skin: Very good. It helps fade post-acne marks (PIH) and the Centella Asiatica extract helps to soothe inflammation.

• Dullness and lack of radiance
• Uneven skin tone
• Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH) from acne
• General skin balancing and hydration
• Protection from environmental stressors

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: While the formula is generally considered gentle, there is insufficient published data on the use of all combined ingredients during pregnancy or breastfeeding. We recommend consulting with your doctor before use.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a pea-sized amount of the serum to a small, clean area of skin, such as behind your ear or on your inner jawline.
2. Wait 24 hours to observe for any signs of irritation like redness, itching, or burning.
3. If no reaction occurs, it is likely safe to apply to your face. If you have highly reactive skin, you may wish to re-assess at 48 and 72 hours.
4. Discontinue use immediately if irritation occurs and consult a healthcare professional if it persists.

• Texture: A clear, slightly viscous gel-like serum.
• Finish: Absorbs well into the skin, leaving a hydrated, dewy finish that is not greasy or overly sticky.
• Scent: Light, refreshing citrus-floral scent.
• pH: Approximately 4.5 - 5.5, which is within the skin's natural healthy pH range.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Contains PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, which can be a potential trigger for some individuals with fungal acne. Patch testing is advised. Individual responses may vary.

• Issue: The serum feels sticky after application.
  • Solution: You may be using too much product. Try reducing the amount to 1-2 drops. Applying it to slightly damp skin can also help it spread more easily and absorb better.
• Issue: My skin feels a slight tingle.
  • Solution: A very mild, brief tingling can sometimes occur when introducing a new active like Vitamin C. It should subside quickly. If it persists or is accompanied by redness, reduce frequency of use or discontinue.
• Issue: The product is pilling (rubbing off in little balls).
  • Solution: This usually happens from applying too much product or not allowing enough time for layers to absorb. Use a smaller amount and wait at least 60 seconds before applying your next skincare step or makeup.
• Issue: I'm not seeing results after a few weeks.
  • Solution: Brightening dark spots is a gradual process that requires patience and consistency. Ensure you are using the serum daily and, most importantly, applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen every single morning. Sun exposure will counteract the benefits of any brightening product.

• Humid Summer: The lightweight, non-greasy texture is perfect for Mauritius' humid conditions. During the day, oily and combination skin types might find this serum provides enough hydration under sunscreen, allowing you to skip a separate moisturiser.
• Drier Winter/AC Environments: If you're in air-conditioning or during the cooler months, the serum provides a great hydrating base. Follow up with a moisturiser to ensure your skin stays comfortable and doesn't lose moisture.
• Sun Exposure: As an antioxidant serum, it's an excellent addition to your morning routine to help protect your skin from the effects of the strong Mauritian sun. It boosts the effectiveness of your sunscreen, but it is not a replacement for it.

However, consider these alternatives from our catalog if your goals are more specific:

Mindful Use Reminder: If you already have a comparable brightening serum at home, we encourage you to finish it first. This helps you get a fair assessment of its results and reduces waste.

• Packaging: Comes in a 30ml clear glass bottle with a dropper for hygienic and precise application.
• Storage: To maintain the potency of the vitamins, store the serum in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight, like a cabinet or drawer. Refrigeration is not necessary but can provide a cooling sensation upon application.
• Travel: The 30ml bottle is travel-friendly and complies with airline carry-on liquid limits. Ensure the cap is screwed on tightly to prevent leaks.
• Recycling (Mauritius): The glass bottle is recyclable. Please rinse it out and dispose of it in your local glass recycling bin. The dropper can be disassembled; the glass pipette is recyclable, but the plastic/rubber top should be disposed of in general waste.

This is anecdotal, aggregated sentiment. Individual results will always vary.

Can I use this serum if I have acne?

Yes, it's a great choice for acne-prone skin. It helps to fade the dark marks (PIH) that pimples leave behind and contains Centella Asiatica to soothe inflammation associated with breakouts.

Is this serum better than The Ordinary Niacinamide?

They serve different primary purposes. The Ordinary's serum is a high-concentration Niacinamide treatment focused on oil control and pores. The JUMISO serum is a comprehensive brightening and antioxidant serum, with Vitamin Tree extract as its star ingredient and Niacinamide as a supporting active. Choose JUMISO if your main goal is overall brightness and a gentle vitamin boost.

Will this make my oily skin even oilier?

No, quite the opposite. Its lightweight, hydrating formula helps to balance the skin. Dehydrated skin often produces more oil to compensate, so providing adequate hydration with a light serum like this can help regulate sebum production over time.

Why should I use Vitamin C in the morning?

Using a vitamin C serum in the morning provides your skin with a shield of antioxidants. This helps neutralize damage from environmental factors like UV rays and pollution throughout the day, making your sunscreen even more effective.

Best For: Those new to vitamin C, or individuals with sensitive or acne-prone skin looking for a gentle daily serum to improve overall radiance and fade post-acne marks.

Key Benefits:

• Effectively brightens dull skin and promotes a healthy glow.
• Hydrating and soothing formula is well-tolerated by most skin types.
• Provides daily antioxidant protection to complement sunscreen.

Keep in Mind:

• It is not a high-potency treatment for deep-set or very stubborn pigmentation; for that, a more targeted serum may be needed.
• Contains several essential oils, which could be a concern for those with specific fragrance allergies.

• Coverage: Island-wide delivery (Mauritius).
• Processing & Timing: Orders process in 1–2 business days; usually ready by Day 3 for pickup by our delivery partners/regional team. Partner collection can take up to 1 week. After pickup, delivery typically takes 1–5 business days (weekdays only).
