Feeling like your skin is losing its bounce or looks a bit dull? This serum is a perfect starting point for targeting the first signs of aging. It uses a gentle, oil-soluble form of Vitamin C (Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate) and a plant-based retinol alternative (Bakuchiol) to visibly firm the skin, brighten your complexion, and reduce fine lines without the irritation often associated with stronger actives. It’s a powerful antioxidant cocktail designed for daily use, helping to protect your skin from the environmental stressors common in Mauritius.

• Best For: All skin types, including sensitive skin and beginners to Vitamin C or anti-aging routines.
• Key Benefits: Improves skin firmness and elasticity, brightens dull skin and dark spots, provides antioxidant protection against environmental damage.
• Texture: A lightweight, slightly viscous serum that absorbs quickly with a hydrated, glowy finish.

1) Cleanser — Wash your face to create a clean base.

2) THIS PRODUCT — Apply 2-3 drops to your face and neck.

3) Sunscreen (AM) / Moisturiser (PM) — Seal in the serum and protect your skin.

Note: Already have a Vitamin C or antioxidant serum? Finish that bottle first before opening this one to ensure freshness and avoid waste.

Using this serum in the morning is highly recommended to protect your skin from daily UV and pollution damage.

• Minimalist (3 steps): 1) Cleanser → 2) THIS PRODUCT → 3) Sunscreen SPF 30+
• Optional: Add a light moisturiser before sunscreen only if your skin feels tight or your sunscreen isn't hydrating enough for the Mauritian climate.
• Wait times: Allow the serum to absorb for 60 seconds before applying your sunscreen.

Using the serum at night helps support your skin's natural repair and collagen-building processes.

• Minimalist (3 steps): 1) Cleanser (double-cleanse if you wore makeup or water-resistant SPF) → 2) THIS PRODUCT → 3) Moisturiser
• Optional: If you use a separate hydrating toner, apply it before this serum. If you use a retinoid, consider alternating nights with this serum to keep your routine gentle.
• Texture rule: Always apply products from the thinnest texture (like a toner) to the thickest (like a cream).

Daily Use — AM and/or PM

• Amount: 2-3 drops is sufficient for the entire face and neck.
• Apply to: Freshly cleansed skin. You can apply it to slightly damp skin to enhance absorption.
• Method: Gently smooth the serum over your skin, then lightly pat until it's absorbed.
• Frequency: Start with once a day (preferably in the morning) for the first week to see how your skin adapts. If well-tolerated, you can increase to twice daily.

If-This / Then-That

• Very oily skin? The lightweight texture may be hydrating enough to use as your sole moisturiser during humid Mauritian summer days, followed by sunscreen.
• Very dry skin? Layer this serum under a richer, barrier-supporting cream (like one with ceramides) to lock in hydration.
• Sensitive or reactive? This serum is designed to be gentle, but always patch test first. Start by using it every other day before moving to daily use.
• Under makeup? Wait 1-2 minutes after application for the serum to fully absorb before applying sunscreen or primer. This helps prevent pilling.

Safety: For external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes. Discontinue use if a rash or irritation occurs. While Vitamin C derivatives are generally considered safe during pregnancy, it's always best to consult your doctor before introducing new active ingredients.

This serum is gentle enough for daily use, but here’s how to integrate it if you use other strong actives.

• Daily Use: Apply AM and/or PM as the serum step in your routine.
• If Using Retinoids or Strong Acids (AHA/BHA):
  • Example Week (PM focus):
    • Mon: Retinoid
    • Tue: THIS PRODUCT (soothing/hydrating night)
    • Wed: Exfoliating Acid (AHA/BHA)
    • Thu: THIS PRODUCT (soothing/hydrating night)
    • Fri: Retinoid
    • Sat/Sun: THIS PRODUCT (soothing/hydrating night)
  • Rule: It's best not to layer strong acids, high-strength retinoids, and Vitamin C in the same routine to avoid potential irritation. Alternating is the safest approach.

AM/PM Cheat-Sheet:

• Vitamin C (like this serum): Best used in the AM for antioxidant protection. Can also be used PM.
• Niacinamide: Can be used AM and PM.
• Acids (AHA/BHA): Best used PM, 1-3 times per week.
• Retinoids: PM only, 2-4 times per week on non-consecutive nights.

• Immediate: Skin feels hydrated and appears more radiant with a subtle glow. The lightweight formula absorbs well without a heavy or greasy feeling.
• 2–4 Weeks: With consistent daily use, you may notice your overall complexion looks brighter and more even-toned. Skin texture can feel smoother.
• 4–8+ Weeks: The firming benefits from Bakuchiol and boosted collagen production become more apparent. The appearance of fine lines may be reduced, and skin feels more elastic. Fading of dark spots from sun exposure or past breakouts becomes more visible. Remember, consistent sunscreen use is crucial to see and maintain these results.

Myth: "I can get Vitamin C for my skin by applying lemon juice."

Truth: This serum uses a stabilized, oil-soluble Vitamin C derivative (Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate) that is formulated to be effective and gentle. Applying raw citrus juice to your skin is highly acidic (pH 2-3), which can damage your skin barrier, cause chemical burns, and lead to severe sun sensitivity (phytophotodermatitis), ultimately worsening dark spots.

• Works Well With: Niacinamide, Hyaluronic Acid, Peptides, Ceramides, and Sunscreen. Using it under sunscreen in the morning is highly recommended as its antioxidant properties boost your UV protection.
• Use with Caution: While VC-IP is very stable and non-irritating, it's wise to be cautious when layering multiple potent actives. If you use high-strength retinoids (like Tretinoin) or chemical exfoliants (AHAs/BHAs), consider applying them on alternate nights to this serum to minimize any risk of sensitivity.
• Avoid On: Do not apply to broken, wounded, or freshly exfoliated skin to avoid stinging.

• All Skin Types: This serum is formulated to be suitable for all skin types.
• Sensitive Skin: Excellent choice. Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate is one of the gentlest forms of Vitamin C, making it ideal for skin that reacts to pure L-Ascorbic Acid.
• Dry Skin: The oil-soluble nature of the Vitamin C derivative and hydrating base make it very comfortable and nourishing for dry skin.
• Oily & Acne-Prone Skin: The lightweight formula is non-comedogenic and absorbs well. The inclusion of niacinamide also helps regulate sebum and improve the appearance of pores.
• Mature Skin: A great option for targeting fine lines, firmness, and age-related dullness with its combination of Vitamin C and Bakuchiol.

• Loss of Firmness & Elasticity
• Fine Lines & Early Wrinkles
• Dull, Lackluster Skin
• Uneven Skin Tone & Texture
• Dark Spots (Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation & Sun Spots)
• Environmental & Oxidative Stress

Key Actives Explained

• Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate (VC-IP) 1.0%: A highly stable, oil-soluble Vitamin C derivative that penetrates deeply to provide antioxidant protection, stimulate collagen synthesis, and inhibit melanin production, leading to brighter and firmer skin with a low risk of irritation.
• Bakuchiol: A plant-derived antioxidant often called a "natural retinol alternative." It helps to improve skin firmness, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and refine skin texture, but without the potential sensitivity associated with retinoids.
• Niacinamide: A form of Vitamin B3 that brightens skin tone, improves the appearance of pores, strengthens the skin barrier, and provides anti-inflammatory benefits.
• Adenosine: An MFDS-approved functional ingredient for "wrinkle improvement." It energizes the skin's surface, resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance.
• Alpha-Arbutin & Ferulic Acid: Powerful antioxidants that work with Vitamin C to brighten the skin, fade hyperpigmentation, and protect against environmental damage.
• Aronia Melanocarpa Fruit Extract: Also known as Black Chokeberry, this extract is rich in antioxidants that help protect the skin and reduce sensitivity.

Full INCI List

Aronia Melanocarpa Fruit Extract, Butylene Glycol, Propanediol, Betaine, Panthenol, Niacinamide, 1,2-Hexanediol, Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Cetearyl Olivate, Sorbitan Olivate, Allantoin, Tocopherol, Adenosine, Sodium Hyaluronate, Bakuchiol, Alpha-Arbutin, Ferulic Acid, Centella Asiatica Oil, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil.

• Fragrance Status: Fragrance-Free. The formula does not contain added artificial fragrances. Some users note a very faint, natural scent from the botanical ingredients, but it is not overpowering.
• EU Allergens: None declared by the brand.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Cautions: The INCI list contains Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil and Sorbitan Olivate, which can be potential triggers for those with fungal acne. Individual responses vary; a patch test is advised.

This product is dermatologist-tested and formulated for sensitive skin, but a patch test is always recommended when introducing a new product.

1. Apply: Dispense a small, pea-sized amount of the serum onto a clean patch of skin, such as the jawline, behind the ear, or on the inner arm.
2. Wait: Leave the area alone for at least 24 hours. Do not wash the area during this time.
3. Assess: After 24-48 hours, check for any signs of irritation, such as redness, itching, burning, or rash.
4. Proceed: If no reaction occurs, the product is likely safe for you to use on your face. Discontinue use immediately if any irritation develops.

For Teens: This serum is gentle enough for teens looking for an entry-level anti-aging or brightening product, but the core routine should remain cleanser, moisturiser, and daily sunscreen.

• Texture: A lightweight, slightly oily but fast-absorbing serum. Spreads easily over the skin.
• Finish: Leaves the skin feeling hydrated and looking radiant with a healthy, dewy glow. It is not sticky or greasy once absorbed.
• Scent: Unscented. Any smell is from the raw ingredients and is very subtle.
• pH: Not published by the brand (as an oil-soluble, low-water formula, pH is less critical than for water-based acids).

• Issue: Product is "pilling" or rubbing off in flakes.
  Solution: You are likely using too much product or not allowing enough time for it to absorb. Use only 2-3 drops 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: Consistency is key, especially for firming and brightening. Ensure you are using the serum daily. Most importantly, are you using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher every single day? Sun exposure will undo any progress made on hyperpigmentation and aging.
• Issue: My skin feels a bit dry after using it.
  Solution: This is uncommon with this hydrating formula. Ensure you are applying it to slightly damp skin and are sealing it in with an appropriate moisturiser, especially at night or on drier days in Mauritius.

This serum is an excellent choice for the Mauritian climate. Its potent antioxidant blend helps protect the skin against the high UV index and urban pollution.

• Humid Summers: The lightweight texture absorbs well without feeling heavy or sticky. For those with oily or combination skin, it might provide enough moisture to be used as a standalone hydrator under sunscreen during the day.
• Drier Winters / Air-Conditioning: The serum provides a nourishing base layer of hydration. Follow up with a slightly richer cream to prevent moisture loss from dry air or constant exposure to air-conditioning.
• Storage: To maintain the stability of the Vitamin C, store the bottle in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat, such as a cabinet or drawer. Avoid leaving it in a hot car.

• Brand Test: The brand claims the product is clinically tested to boost collagen production. However, the specific parameters (n, duration, method, % improvement) of this test are not publicly disclosed.
• Ingredient Rationale: The benefits of this serum are strongly supported by the known functions of its active ingredients. Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate is a well-researched, stable form of Vitamin C known to brighten skin and stimulate collagen. Bakuchiol is clinically compared to retinol for its ability to reduce fine lines and improve firmness. Niacinamide and Adenosine are MFDS-approved for brightening and wrinkle care, respectively.

A 30ml bottle contains approximately 600 drops.

• Using 3 drops, once per day: The bottle will last for approximately 200 days (over 6 months).
• Using 3 drops, twice per day: The bottle will last for approximately 100 days (over 3 months).

This concentrated formula offers excellent value, providing a multi-active treatment that lasts for several months.

Consider these alternatives if your goals differ:

• For More Intense Brightening & Dark Spot Correction: Anua NIACINAMIDE 10%+TXA 4% SERUM 30ML — Choose this if your main goal is to aggressively target stubborn dark spots, melasma, or post-acne marks. Its high concentration of Niacinamide and Tranexamic Acid is specifically designed for hyperpigmentation.
• For Soothing & Calming Sensitive, Acne-Prone Skin: SKIN1004 MADAGASCAR CENTELLA AMPOULE 30ML — Choose this if your skin is primarily reactive, red, or breaking out. It focuses on calming inflammation and strengthening the skin barrier with 100% Centella Asiatica extract.
• For a Stronger, Clinically-Proven Anti-Aging Active: Beauty of Joseon REVIVE EYE SERUM : GINSENG + RETINAL 30ML — Choose this if you are ready to step up your anti-aging routine with a more potent ingredient. Retinal works faster than retinol to target deeper wrinkles and texture. (Note: This can be used on the full face, not just eyes).

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

• Format: 30ml glass bottle with a dropper applicator.
• Hygiene: The dropper allows for precise, hygienic dispensing without needing to touch the remaining product.
• Stability: The opaque bottle helps protect the Vitamin C and other antioxidants from light degradation. Always store in a cool, dark place.
• Recycling (Mauritius): The glass bottle is recyclable. Please rinse it out and dispose of it in the glass recycling bin. The dropper can be disassembled; the glass part is recyclable, while the plastic/rubber top should be disposed of in the general trash.

"Very gentle vitamin c serum! It's perfect for my sensitive skin, feels so smooth and hydrating, there's absolutely no scent and non irritant. I use it every morning to protect myself from the sun alongside spf! One of my favorite serums out there I keep going back to it!"

– iHerb customer review (2025-08)

"My skin has never looked more vibrant—this vitamin C derivative is a superstar. The lightweight serum absorbs in seconds and doesn't pill under moisturizer. Over four weeks I've noticed a firmer jawline and reduced pigmentation spots."

– iHerb customer review (2025-05)

A user with oily, sensitive, acne-prone skin reported being extremely happy with the product. They noted it feels a little oily at first but sinks in fast, causes no irritation, and that their acne scars were already lighter after less than a month of use.

– Paraphrased from Lila Beauty customer review (2024-12)

Fair Caveat: One reviewer mentioned that the serum could be a bit drying on their skin during summer, despite its hydrating qualities. This highlights the importance of pairing it with an adequate moisturizer based on your skin's daily needs.

Is this Vitamin C better than pure L-Ascorbic Acid (L-AA)?
It's different, not necessarily better for everyone. VC-IP is much more stable and far less likely to cause irritation, making it perfect for sensitive skin or beginners. L-AA is more potent and works faster, but can be very irritating and oxidizes quickly. If you've had bad reactions to L-AA serums, this is an excellent alternative.

Can I use this serum with a retinoid?
Yes, but with caution. It's best to alternate their use (e.g., this serum in the AM, retinoid in the PM) or use them on different nights to avoid overwhelming your skin and causing sensitivity.

Will this make my oily skin feel greasier?
No, it's designed to be lightweight and fast-absorbing. While it has a slightly oily texture initially due to the oil-soluble Vitamin C, it sinks in without leaving a heavy, greasy film. It can actually help balance the skin.
