Dealing with stubborn dark spots or a dull complexion from Mauritius' strong sun can be frustrating. The Medicube Deep Vita C Ampoule is a concentrated serum designed to deliver a powerful dose of Vitamin C, a gold-standard ingredient for brightening and antioxidant protection. Its goal is to help fade the appearance of hyperpigmentation, even out skin tone, and restore a healthy, luminous glow, all while being gentle enough for sensitive skin.

If you're looking to visibly reduce dark spots, post-acne marks, and sun-related pigmentation, this ampoule is formulated for you.

• Primary Target: Hyperpigmentation, dark spots, uneven skin tone, and dullness.
• Key Benefit: Brightens the complexion and provides antioxidant defense against environmental damage.
• Texture & Feel: A lightweight, fast-absorbing liquid that feels hydrating without being heavy.
• Who It's For: Suitable for all skin types, but particularly beneficial for those with concerns about pigmentation and lackluster skin. A patch test is recommended for highly sensitive skin.

1. Cleanser: Wash your face to create a clean base.
2. Medicube Deep Vita C Ampoule: Apply 2-3 drops to dry skin.
3. Sunscreen (AM) / Moisturiser (PM): Seal in the treatment and protect your skin.

Note: If you already have a Vitamin C serum, finish that bottle first. Substitute, don’t stack similar products.

Using Vitamin C in the morning provides crucial antioxidant protection against daily UV exposure.

• Minimalist (3 steps): 1) Cleanser → 2) Deep Vita C Ampoule → 3) Sunscreen SPF 30+
• Optional Additions: Add a hydrating toner before the ampoule if you need more moisture. If your sunscreen isn't moisturizing enough, you can apply a light moisturizer after the ampoule has absorbed and before your SPF.
• Wait Times: Allow the ampoule to absorb for at least 60 seconds before applying moisturizer or sunscreen to ensure maximum efficacy.

Applying at night allows the ampoule to work with your skin's natural repair cycle.

• Minimalist (3 steps): 1) Double-Cleanse (if wearing makeup/sunscreen) → 2) Deep Vita C Ampoule → 3) Moisturiser
• Important: Do not use this ampoule on the same night as strong exfoliants (like high-concentration AHAs/BHAs) or retinoids to avoid potential irritation. Alternate nights instead.
• Texture Rule: Always apply products from the thinnest to thickest consistency.

Daily Use — AM and/or PM:

• Amount: 2–3 drops are sufficient for the entire face.
• Apply to: A clean, dry face. Pat gently for better absorption. Avoid the immediate eye area.
• Frequency: Start with once daily (preferably in the AM). If your skin tolerates it well after a week, you can increase to twice daily. For sensitive skin, starting with every other day is a safe approach.
• Purging & Photosensitivity: High-concentration Vitamin C can sometimes cause a temporary "purge" (a brief period of breakouts) as it increases cell turnover. This is rare but possible. It also makes your skin more sensitive to the sun. Daily use of high-SPF sunscreen is non-negotiable.

If-This / Then-That:

• If you feel a slight tingle: This can be normal for beginners as your skin adjusts to the low pH of L-Ascorbic Acid. It should subside with consistent use. If it stings or burns, reduce frequency or discontinue.
• If you have very sensitive skin: Start by using it 2-3 times per week and gradually increase as your skin builds tolerance.
• If you use other actives: Avoid using it in the same routine as exfoliants (AHAs/BHAs) or retinoids. Use Vitamin C in the morning and other actives at night.

Safety: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Discontinue use if a persistent rash or irritation occurs. Store in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and potency.

This ampoule is designed for daily use to see the best results. Here is how to incorporate it safely with other active ingredients.

• Daily (AM): Cleanse → Tone (optional) → Deep Vita C Ampoule → Moisturiser (optional) → Sunscreen.
• Daily (PM): Cleanse → Tone (optional) → Deep Vita C Ampoule → Moisturiser.

Example Week with Other Actives (PM Focus):

• Mon: Deep Vita C Ampoule (PM)
• Tue: Exfoliant (AHA/BHA) Night
• Wed: Deep Vita C Ampoule (PM)
• Thu: Retinoid Night
• Fri: Deep Vita C Ampoule (PM)
• Sat: Soothing/Hydrating Night (no strong actives)
• Sun: Retinoid Night

Rule: One strong active per night. Do not mix Vitamin C with exfoliants or retinoids in the same routine.

• Immediate: Skin may feel hydrated and appear slightly brighter with a subtle glow upon application.
• 2–4 Weeks: With consistent daily use, overall skin tone may start to look more even and radiant. Skin texture can feel smoother.
• 4–8+ Weeks: The appearance of dark spots, post-acne marks, and hyperpigmentation should be visibly reduced. Continued use helps protect skin from further environmental damage.

Why use a stabilized Vitamin C serum, not pure lemon juice?

Rubbing lemon juice on your face is a popular DIY myth for fading dark spots, but it's a dangerous practice. Lemon juice is highly acidic (pH ~2) and contains compounds that can cause chemical burns and severe sun sensitivity (phytophotodermatitis), leading to worse hyperpigmentation. This ampoule uses a high concentration of pure, stabilized L-Ascorbic Acid formulated at a precise pH to be effective and safe for skin, delivering brightening benefits without the significant risks of raw citrus.

• Works Well With: Sunscreen (boosts antioxidant protection), Hyaluronic Acid (for extra hydration), Niacinamide (use at different times of day or allow 10-20 minutes between applications), gentle hydrators, and most moisturizers.
• Use with Caution: While it can be used in a routine with Niacinamide, applying them back-to-back can sometimes cause flushing for sensitive individuals due to pH differences. It's often best to use Vitamin C in the AM and Niacinamide in the PM.
• Avoid in Same Routine: Do not layer directly with other strong acids (AHAs, BHAs) or Retinoids. This can lead to over-exfoliation and irritation. Alternate their use (e.g., different nights). Also, avoid using with Benzoyl Peroxide, as it can oxidize the Vitamin C, making it less effective.

• Oily / Combination Skin: Excellent. Its lightweight texture absorbs well without adding greasiness and helps fade post-acne marks common with these skin types.
• Normal Skin: Ideal for maintaining an even tone and providing antioxidant protection.
• Dry Skin: Very beneficial for brightening, but should be followed by a nourishing moisturizer to ensure adequate hydration.
• Sensitive Skin: Use with caution. The high concentration of L-Ascorbic Acid can be potent. A patch test is essential. Start with application every other day to build tolerance.

• Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH) from acne

Who should use with caution:

• Individuals with highly sensitive or reactive skin, or those with rosacea, should introduce this product very slowly.
• If you are new to L-Ascorbic Acid, your skin may need time to acclimate.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a pea-sized amount of the ampoule to a small, clean area of skin, such as behind your ear or on your inner jawline.
2. Wait 24 hours to observe any signs of irritation, such as redness, itching, or burning.
3. If no reaction occurs, you can proceed with applying it to your full face. Re-check the area at 48 and 72 hours for any delayed reaction.
4. If irritation occurs, discontinue use.

For Teens: This product is generally suitable for older teens dealing with post-acne marks, but it is a strong active. A basic routine of cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen should be established first. Always use under parental guidance.

• Texture: A watery, lightweight serum.
• Scent: Has a light, citrus-like fragrance. Some may detect a slight metallic scent, which is common for L-Ascorbic Acid products.
• pH: Not officially published by the brand, but L-Ascorbic Acid serums are typically formulated at a low pH (around 3.0-3.5) for optimal stability and penetration.
• Finish: Absorbs quickly, leaving a hydrated, slightly dewy finish that is not greasy.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Contains Polysorbate 60 and Glyceryl Stearate, which can be potential triggers for some individuals prone to fungal acne. Please patch test if this is a concern. Individual responses vary.

• Issue: Tingling or mild stinging upon application.
  Fix: This is often normal for new users of potent Vitamin C. It should decrease as your skin adapts. If it's uncomfortable, reduce use to every other day, or apply a hydrating toner before the ampoule to buffer it slightly.
• Issue: The product has turned dark orange or brown.
  Fix: This means the L-Ascorbic Acid has oxidized and lost its effectiveness. Discard the product. To prevent this, store it in the refrigerator and use it within its recommended Period After Opening (PAO).
• Issue: Skin feels tight after use.
  Fix: This can happen if the product is not sealed with a moisturizer, especially in dry or air-conditioned environments. Always follow up with a moisturizer to lock in hydration.
• Issue: No results after 8 weeks.
  Fix: Ensure you are using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with high SPF every single day. Sun exposure will counteract any brightening progress. Consistency is key.

• Humid Summers: The lightweight, non-greasy texture is perfect for Mauritius' humid conditions. It provides antioxidant protection against the intense sun without feeling heavy. You may find you can use this and a sunscreen without needing an additional moisturizer in the morning.
• Drier Winters / AC Exposure: While still effective, you may need to layer a more substantial moisturizer on top to prevent dehydration, especially if you spend a lot of time in air-conditioned spaces.
• Storage: Given the heat and humidity in Mauritius, it is highly recommended to store this ampoule in the refrigerator. This will slow down the oxidation process and keep the Vitamin C potent for longer.

• Ingredient Rationale: The efficacy of this ampoule is primarily based on the well-documented effects of its key active, L-Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C).

• Brand Test: Medicube conducted a 7-day clinical trial with 20 participants. They reported a 9.1% reduction in the appearance of freckles and a 1.5% improvement in hyperpigmentation. (Note: This is a brand-stated claim; the full study protocol and dataset are not publicly available for independent verification.)

The product comes in a pack of three 10g vials, for a total of 30g.

• Size: 3 x 10g vials (30g total)
• Dose per use: Approx. 0.15g (2-3 drops)
• Uses per pack: Approx. 200 uses
• Duration (1x/day): Approx. 6-7 months
• Duration (2x/day): Approx. 3-4 months

Reorder Cadence: Given the recommended 6-month Period After Opening, one pack is sufficient for a full usage cycle. Consider reordering when you start your last vial to ensure you don't run out.

This ampoule is an excellent choice if your primary concerns are dark spots, uneven tone, and adding antioxidant protection to your routine.

• For a Higher Potency Formula: The Ordinary VITAMIN C SUSPENSION 23% + HA SPHERES 2% 30ML — Choose this if you have resilient skin, are an experienced Vitamin C user, and want a more potent, water-free formulation. Why: It offers a higher concentration of L-Ascorbic Acid for more intensive treatment, though its texture can be gritty.
• For a Gentler Brightening Alternative: Beauty of Joseon GLOW DEEP SERUM : RICE + ALPHA ARBUTIN — Choose this if your skin is too sensitive for high-strength L-Ascorbic Acid or if you specifically want to target pigmentation with Arbutin. Why: Alpha-Arbutin is a well-regarded tyrosinase inhibitor that fades dark spots with a lower risk of irritation.
• For Combined Acne & Pigmentation Concerns: Beauty of Joseon GLOW SERUM : PROPOLIS + NIACINAMIDE — Choose this if you are dealing with both active breakouts and the dark marks they leave behind. Why: Niacinamide helps regulate sebum and fade PIH, while Propolis provides anti-inflammatory and antibacterial benefits to calm acne.

Mindful Use: If you already have a comparable Vitamin C serum at home, we encourage you to finish it first. This helps reduce waste and allows you to fairly assess the results of one product at a time.

• Format: The product comes in a box containing three separate 10g brown glass vials and one dropper. This clever design ensures maximum freshness, as you only open one small vial at a time, minimizing the oxidation of the L-Ascorbic Acid.
• Applicator: A glass dropper for hygienic and controlled dispensing.
• Sustainability: The glass vials and cardboard box are recyclable. Please dispose of them according to local guidelines in Mauritius.
• Storage: To maintain potency and prevent oxidation, it is crucial to store the vials in a cool, dark place, preferably the refrigerator, after opening. Write the opening date on the box to keep track.

Q: Why does the ampoule tingle when I apply it?

A: A slight tingling sensation can be normal, especially for those new to L-Ascorbic Acid. This is due to its low pH, which is necessary for the ingredient to be effective. The sensation should diminish as your skin's tolerance builds. However, if it causes persistent stinging or burning, you should reduce the frequency of use or discontinue.

Q: How do I know if my Vitamin C ampoule has gone bad?

A: L-Ascorbic Acid is prone to oxidation. If the ampoule, which is typically clear or a very light champagne color, turns dark yellow, orange, or brown, it has oxidized and lost its potency. You should discard it at this point. Storing it in the fridge helps slow this process significantly.

Q: Can this ampoule lighten my natural skin tone?

A: No. This product is formulated to be a "brightening" cosmetic, which means it works to even out your complexion by fading areas of hyperpigmentation like sun spots or acne marks. It will help restore your skin's natural radiance but will not bleach or change your inherent skin color.

Q: Can I use this with my Niacinamide serum?

A: Yes, but with a small caution. While modern formulations have largely debunked the myth that they can't be used together, applying a low-pH Vitamin C and a neutral-pH Niacinamide back-to-back can sometimes cause temporary redness in sensitive individuals. For best results and to minimize any risk, we recommend using the Vitamin C ampoule in your AM routine and your Niacinamide serum in your PM routine.

Best For: Individuals looking to target dark spots, post-acne marks, and overall skin dullness with a potent, clinically-backed active ingredient.

Key Benefits:

• Visibly brightens and evens out skin tone.
• Provides powerful antioxidant protection against environmental stressors.
• Helps improve skin texture and firmness over time.

Keep in Mind:

• The high concentration of pure Vitamin C may be irritating for first-time users or very sensitive skin.
