For those struggling with stubborn dark spots and a dull complexion from Mauritius' strong sun, this potent ampoule offers a focused solution. Formulated with a high concentration of pure Vitamin C, it works to visibly fade hyperpigmentation and restore a healthy, even-toned radiance.

Dealing with post-acne marks or sun spots can be frustrating when they overstay their welcome. This ampoule is designed to speed up their departure.

• What it is: A concentrated pure Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid) serum designed for potent brightening and antioxidant protection.
• Who it's for: Best for those with dullness, uneven skin tone, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), and sun spots. Suitable for most skin types, but sensitive skin should introduce it cautiously.
• Key Benefits: Visibly fades dark spots, protects against sun damage, and enhances overall skin glow.

1. Cleanser: Wash your face to create a clean base.
2. Deep Vita C Ampoule: Apply 2-3 drops to dry skin. See "How to Use" for more details.
3. Sunscreen (AM): An absolute must! Protects your skin and the results.
4. Moisturiser (PM): If using at night, follow with a moisturiser to lock it in.

Note: Already using a brightening serum? Finish that bottle first before opening this one to ensure freshness and avoid waste.

Using Vitamin C in the morning provides powerful antioxidant protection against sun and pollution damage throughout the day.

• Minimalist (3 steps): 1) Cleanser → 2) Deep Vita C Ampoule → 3) Sunscreen (SPF 30+)
• Optional Additions: Add a hydrating toner before the ampoule for extra moisture. If your sunscreen isn't moisturising enough, you can apply a light moisturiser after the ampoule has absorbed and before your SPF.
• Wait Times: Allow the ampoule to absorb for 1-2 minutes before applying moisturiser or sunscreen to prevent pilling.

You can use this ampoule at night, but avoid using it on the same night as other strong actives like retinol or exfoliating acids (AHA/BHA) to prevent irritation.

• Minimalist (3 steps): 1) Cleanser (double-cleanse if wearing makeup/sunscreen) → 2) Deep Vita C Ampoule → 3) Moisturiser
• Texture Rule: Always apply products from the thinnest to thickest consistency.

• Amount: 2–3 drops for the entire face.
• Apply to: Dry skin after cleansing. Avoid the immediate eye area.
• Method: Smooth gently over the skin and lightly pat to aid absorption. A slight tingling or warming sensation is normal for the first few uses as your skin adapts.
• Frequency: Start by using it once every 2-3 days (preferably in the AM). If your skin responds well after a week, you can increase to once daily.

Important Tips:

• Storage: Pure Vitamin C is sensitive to light and heat. To maintain its potency, store this ampoule in the refrigerator. Note the date you open it.
• Photosensitivity: Vitamin C makes your skin more sensitive to the sun. Daily use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher is mandatory.
• Oxidation: If the serum changes from a pale yellow to a dark orange or brown color, it has oxidized and lost its effectiveness. It's time to replace it.
• Safety: Avoid using on broken or irritated skin. Discontinue use if a persistent rash or burning occurs.

• Daily Use: Apply this ampoule in the AM.
• If using other actives: It's best to alternate. For example:
  • Mon/Wed/Fri AM: Deep Vita C Ampoule
  • Tue/Thu PM: Retinoid or Exfoliant (AHA/BHA)
  • Other times: Focus on hydration and soothing.
• Rule: Do not use high-strength Vitamin C, Retinoids, and exfoliating acids (AHA/BHA) in the same routine (AM or PM) to avoid over-exfoliation and irritation.

• Immediate: Skin may feel slightly warm upon application. Once absorbed, it often has a subtle glow.
• 2–4 Weeks: With consistent use, overall skin tone may appear brighter and more radiant.
• 4–8+ Weeks: Visible reduction in the appearance of dark spots, sun spots, and post-acne marks. Skin texture may feel smoother.

*Results vary depending on the individual, consistency of use, and diligent sun protection. Brand clinical tests suggest visible results in as early as 7 days for some users.

*Brand claim—no public dataset available for independent verification.

• Why use this stabilized Vitamin C serum... not fresh lemon juice? 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 is formulated at a precise, effective pH and stabilized to deliver the benefits of Vitamin C without the risks of DIY citrus application.

• Works Well With: Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide (allow a few minutes between applications), Peptides, Ceramides, and most importantly, Sunscreen.
• Use Carefully With: Retinoids and exfoliating acids (AHAs, BHAs). It is best to use them in separate routines (e.g., Vitamin C in AM, Retinoid/AHA/BHA in PM) to prevent potential irritation.
• Avoid On: Do not apply to broken, freshly exfoliated, or irritated skin.

• Oily / Combination Skin: Excellent. The lightweight texture absorbs well without adding greasiness.
• Normal Skin: Excellent for boosting radiance and preventing future damage.
• Dry Skin: Good, but should be followed with a nourishing moisturiser to prevent any potential dryness from the pure vitamin C.
• Sensitive Skin: Use with caution. The high concentration of L-Ascorbic Acid can cause tingling and redness. A patch test is essential. Start with a lower frequency (1-2 times per week).

• Dull, tired-looking skin
• Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH) from acne
• Sun spots and freckles
• Uneven skin tone and texture
• Loss of firmness

• Fragrance Status: Contains added fragrance.
• Scent Profile: Has a distinct citrusy, metallic scent characteristic of high-concentration L-Ascorbic Acid serums.
• EU Allergens Declared: Linalool, Limonene.
• Note: Contains various botanical extracts. If you have known plant allergies, a patch test is highly recommended.

Who should use with caution:

• Individuals with highly sensitive or reactive skin, or conditions like rosacea, should introduce this product very slowly.
• Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: While the brand states it is safe, skin can become more sensitized during pregnancy. Due to the high concentration of an active ingredient, it's best to consult a doctor. The safest general advice is to stick to gentle, hydrating products during this time as there is insufficient published data on high-strength actives.

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 jawline.
2. Wait 24-48 hours. Do not introduce any other new products during this time.
3. If you experience any significant redness, itching, burning, or rash, do not use the product on your full face. A mild tingling is normal, but persistent irritation is not.

• Texture: A lightweight, watery serum that absorbs quickly into the skin.
• Finish: Leaves a hydrated, slightly dewy finish that is not sticky or greasy.
• Scent: Noticeable metallic and citrusy scent.
• pH: Not officially published, but L-Ascorbic Acid serums are typically formulated at a low pH (around 3.0-3.5) for optimal stability and penetration.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Contains Polysorbate 60, which can be a potential trigger for fungal acne in highly sensitive individuals. Individual responses may vary.

• Issue: My skin is tingling a lot.
  Solution: A mild, brief tingling is normal with pure Vitamin C. If it's intense or prolonged, reduce frequency to every other day or apply it over a light hydrating toner to buffer its intensity.
• Issue: The serum has turned dark orange.
  Solution: This means it has oxidized and is no longer effective. Discard it. To prevent this, store it in the refrigerator immediately after purchase and use it within 2-3 months of opening.
• Issue: It's pilling under my sunscreen/makeup.
  Solution: You may be using too much product or not waiting long enough between steps. Use only 2-3 drops and allow it to fully absorb for at least 1-2 minutes before applying your next product.

The hot and humid climate of Mauritius can accelerate the oxidation of pure Vitamin C. It is highly recommended to store this product in the refrigerator to preserve its freshness and potency.

The lightweight, non-greasy texture is well-suited for our climate, absorbing quickly without feeling heavy or sticky. Remember that sun exposure is intense year-round; pairing this AM serum with a high-SPF sunscreen is essential for protecting your skin and the results of the treatment.

This ampoule is an excellent choice for targeting stubborn dark spots with a potent, pure form of Vitamin C. However, your skin's needs are unique. Consider these alternatives from our catalog:

• For a Gentler Approach: Beauty of Joseon Glow Deep Serum : Rice + Alpha Arbutin — Choose this if your skin is sensitive and you find high-strength Vitamin C irritating. Why: Alpha-Arbutin and Rice Water work together to gently fade pigmentation with a lower risk of sensitivity.
• For Acne-Prone Skin with PIH: Beauty of Joseon Glow Serum : Propolis + Niacinamide — Choose this if you're managing both active breakouts and the dark marks they leave behind. Why: Propolis helps calm inflammation and fight acne bacteria, while Niacinamide effectively fades post-acne marks and controls sebum.
• For Advanced, Multi-Pathway Brightening: Anua NIACINAMIDE 10%+TXA 4% Dark Spot Correcting Serum — Choose this if you have persistent hyperpigmentation like melasma and want to target it from multiple angles. Why: This serum combines high-strength Niacinamide with Tranexamic Acid, a powerful duo for tackling stubborn discoloration without relying on Vitamin C.

Mindful Use Reminder: If you already have a Vitamin C or brightening serum at home, we encourage you to finish it before starting a new one. This helps you get a clear sense of what works for your skin and avoids product waste.

• Format: Comes in a small, dark glass bottle with a separate dropper to protect the formula from light and air exposure before use. Often sold in packs of three 10ml vials.
• Hygiene & Stability: The dropper applicator allows for hygienic, controlled dispensing. The separation into smaller vials ensures you open a fresh bottle frequently, minimizing the oxidation period for the entire product volume.
• Recycling (Mauritius): The glass bottle is recyclable. Please rinse it and dispose of it in your glass recycling bin. The dropper may need to be disassembled and disposed of in the general trash.
• Storage: Must be stored in the refrigerator to maintain stability and effectiveness. Keep away from direct sunlight and heat.

Aggregated Sentiment: Users praise the ampoule for its effectiveness in brightening the complexion and fading dark spots, though some with sensitive skin note a tingling sensation.

"A true gem that delivers stellar brightening results. I've been using this for years, and I can genuinely feel my complexion becoming more radiant. My once dull skin has gradually become clearer and brighter, with blemishes seeming to fade away."

– Hwahae user review (2020-12)

"It's effective on acne scars, and unlike other vitamin C products that can sting, this one doesn't cause any tingling sensation. However, I can't help but feel that the amount is a bit on the smaller side."

– Hwahae user review (2025-08)

Fair Caveat: "Due to the nature of Vitamin C, it's prone to oxidation, so refrigeration is a must. It's a bit disappointing how quickly the color changes if left out for too long. However, considering its effectiveness, this level of care is a small price to pay."

– Paraphrased from Hwahae review (2020-12)

Why does it tingle when I apply it?

A mild tingling sensation is normal for high-concentration pure Vitamin C serums, especially when you first start using them. This is due to the low pH required for the ingredient to be effective. It should subside after a minute or two and with continued use. If the sensation is a strong burn or persists, discontinue use.

Can I use this if I have acne?

Yes, Vitamin C can be very beneficial for acne-prone skin as it helps fade the post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (dark marks) that pimples leave behind. However, do not apply it to open or active, weeping blemishes.

My serum is light orange. Is it still okay to use?

A very pale, champagne-yellow color is normal. If it turns a noticeable orange or brown, it has oxidized and should be discarded as it has lost its antioxidant benefits and could even cause irritation.
