Read this before you buy a topical vitamin C serum
Skin that radiates a youthful glow can be achieved at any age with the proper products and care. Vitamin C and vitamin A—in the right forms—are the most effective collagen-promoting ingredients in existence. Our plan of vitamin C during the day and vitamin A at night will ensure you are a collagen-stimulating machine!

In addition to its powerful collagen-formation powers, topical vitamin C mitigates the effects of free radicals, helping to maintain bright, fresh skin. It also helps protect your skin from UV as well as lightening and helping to prevent hyperpigmentation. Ready to nerd out? Let’s dive into the details.

The type of vitamin C matters! Is yours supporting or depleting your skin?
Like most active ingredients, not all vitamin C is created equally. Here’s a crash course: L-ascorbic acid is the most potent and in our opinion the most effective form of vitamin C available, but, in a liquid form, it can be unstable because it breaks down in the presence of light. You may have seen liquid l-ascorbic acid sold in clear or frosted bottles—buyer beware—these will quickly oxidize, turn brown and become ineffective and potentially damaging.

Power of the Powder
Knowing all this, finding a way to stabilize l-ascorbic acid became our top priority. We did this in two ways, through our light-protective packaging and bringing you l-ascorbic acid in it’s purest, safest and most stable form: powder. We strongly believe that mixing l-ascorbic acid in a powder form with a water based serum just before it goes on your face is the best way to ensure 100% effectiveness and penetration.
