Product Details

Vitamin C is an effective antioxidant that brightens the skin tone and reduces the appearance of signs of aging.

This water-free formula provides 30% pure L-Ascorbic Acid. Due to the presence of very light silicones, this formulation feels smooth on the skin. This treatment is ideally applied at bedtime.

Size: 30ml

Targets: Uneven Tone, Signs of Age, Antioxidant Support
Format: Suspension
Regimen Step: After Water-Based Serums
Conflicts: Copper Peptides, Peptides, EUK134 0.1%, Niacinamide. Alternate use with Direct Acids, Pure/Ethylated Vitamin C, and Retinoids
When to use: Ideally PM
Sorry, Beauty Bliss Points can not be earned on this item at this time.
Note: The format of this formula is a suspension of very fine L-Ascorbic Acid powder and, as such, provides the most direct exposure of extremely high concentrations of Vitamin C topically. With such format, a very strong tingling but non-irritating sensation is expected during the first 1-2 weeks of use until the skin's tolerance to such high exposure is elevated. If the sensation is too strong to tolerate, the formula can be mixed on each application with other creams or serums of your preference.

Directions
Apply a small amount to face in the AM or the PM (PM preferred). Avoid contact with the eyes. A tingling sensation can be expected after application. If this sensation is too strong, this formula can be diluted on each application with your favourite serum or cream.

Brightening and balancing
This Vitamin C cream supposedly helps to reduce the signs of aging by brightening and balancing uneven skintone. I enjoy the texture the of this product as it's got quite a thick cream consistency. However, I sometimes find the tingling sensation especially around my eyes quite uncomfortable. Would definately suggest mixing with a serum to thin the product out a bit.

Vitamin C
The sensation of the tingling does take a bit to get used too. And the smell of it reminds me of maple syrup. The way my skin feels in the morning after use is amazing!

Bright, glowy skin
I like this product, with regular use I found it made my skin look nice and bright and glowy. The texture took a bit of getting used to though (it is a powder in a silicone base so feels powdery/gritty when when you apply it). I had a little bit of tingling upon application with this product due to the high concentration but no irritation other than that.

New for me!
Only been using this for 2 weeks (and it’s not an every day lotion) so early changes in my skin aren’t quite noticeable yet but can definitely feel it working!!

I did not realise how irritating vitamin C can be on skin, and although my skin isn’t the most sensitive (though it can be) I think I might try a lower concentration next time. I do love how well this product brightens and evens out my skin tone though :)

This stuff is so strong I only use a tiny bit for my face it straight up stings so bad but my face looks soo bring in the morning it's amazing. I don't use as much as I should due to the sting but I'm slowly working it back into my routine I use 1x per week trying to get to 2x days

Still trying to find how to use this correctly with my skin as it does come in a grainy texture but ive learnt that if you put it on with not much else under your skin after cleansing, it works the best. It may tingle a tiny bit but not much. Make sure you work it into your skin and let it sit and you will see amazing results! The texture can just be a bit off putting at first

Love love this!! I've found it's quite thick so I mix it with the Ordinary moisturiser and it goes on way easier. I use this at night and notice a difference immediately, you wake up with bright bright skin!

Really like this product, heavier feel than the 23% but the silicone means it smooths out nicely and no residue

I love this. Is tingley but I like that as you know it is strong and full with active ingredient. Vit c is sooo great for your skin. Results in three days. More even complexion. I teamed it with the retinol 1% and they work very well together. The retinol is more of an oil that combats this mattifying quite dry feeling serum. Note it appears to leave orange stains on your pillow?? Worth it for such a concentrated effective product. Will repurchase.

I have to be careful with this product. My skin tingles immediately on application so I apply moisturiser almost immediately. I do not like the gritty feeling of the spheres, I think next time I will try liquid Vitamin C.

Love this one. Its bizarre when you first put it on, its almost like rubbing sand paste on your face (not in a sore way). Really enjoy using this one

I haven't really been using this long enough to be sure if it's making a difference, but with a combo of these products my skin looks amazing. This one goes on smooth then feels quite dry on the face, but that's ok as other creams go over the top (esp sunscreen, don't forget that one with this!). I didn't find it too stingy at first (less than bee venom stuff) but I sort of forgot and put a lot on and WOW it can have a kick. Happily not near eyes or lips. Powerful stuff, great value.

Wow! Already noticed such a difference. My skin tingles slightly when I first put it on but it isn’t unbearable. Would recommend if you have acne scars or uneven skin tone

Been using this for a couple of months now, alternating week about with retinol. Has a slightly odd feel as it almost disappears before you can rub it in, but my skin is looking good, smooth and lines not so noticeable.
