Apply one pump to clean, dry skin morning and evening, before moisturiser. This is a 20% vitamin C formula, so a little goes a long way. Pat gently until fully absorbed.
Always follow with broad-spectrum SPF30+ during the day, both to maximise results and to help prevent new pigmentation. Start once daily if your skin is sensitive.
Use consistently for 6 to 8 weeks to see visible brightening.
The airless pump preserves potency and prevents oxidation, so no refrigeration is needed. Store at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat.
Brighter, more even skin with dark spots visibly softened, over twelve weeks.
Independent 12-week consumer trial, n=32, zero adverse reactions. Serum and collagen complex were used together as a system. Irritation figure at week 4, brightening, tone and moisture figures at week 8, remaining figures at week 4.
One stable vitamin C serum, working to brighten and even your skin.
20% tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, an oil-soluble ester that reaches where dark spots form rather than sitting above them. At 20% it is at the upper end of what is used in leave-on serums.
"The hyperpigmentation on my cheeks has dramatically faded in just 6 weeks. My skin looks so much brighter and more even!"
Uneven tone rarely shows up as one thing. There are the dark spots that have been there for years, the marks a breakout left last month, and the general patchiness that makes foundation the first thing you reach for. Five actives work on it: vitamin C at 20%, liquorice root at 5%, alpha-arbutin at 2%, chrysanthellum and sophora angustifolia.
"My skin looks brighter and feels firmer. Even my family has noticed."
Most uneven tone starts with sun and pollution. Antioxidants work on that damage as it happens, so less of it shows up later as a dark spot. Resveratrol at 3%, ferulic acid and vitamin E do that job here, alongside the vitamin C.
"Brighter, smoother and even. The texture is more plump and hydrated."
Botanical extracts lift natural radiance, so skin looks lit from within rather than simply paler. Brightness that reads as health, not as bleaching.
"My skin does feel plumper. The radiance of my skin feels so soft and plump."
Squalane and hyaluronic acid hydrate and soften as the actives work, revealing a smoother, more refined skin surface over time. Make-up sits better as a result.
THD ascorbate is stable and far gentler than traditional L-ascorbic acid, which is why high-strength vitamin C is usually a trade-off and here it is not. 94% of trial participants reported no irritation or peeling.
Independent 12-week consumer trial, n=32, zero adverse reactions. Irritation and fine-line figures at week 4, brightening, tone and moisture figures at week 8, radiance figure at week 12.
94% experienced no irritation or peeling from the vitamin C serum (30/32, week 4). 91% said it continues to work without irritation (29/32, week 8). 84% still reported no irritation or sensitivity after 12 weeks of daily use (27/32).
Twelve actives chosen for brightness and even tone, with concentrations as per the CPSR. Here is exactly what each one does.
Drag to see the difference. Independently photographed, untouched.

High-strength vitamin C that works on dark spots and uneven tone, without the stinging, the oxidising or the orange bottle three weeks in.
91% said the vitamin C was effectively brightening their skin, and 88% said their tone was even and uniform.
This is not an overnight fix. Genuine brightening develops progressively, with consistent daily use.
Skin looks fresher and more luminous as the stabilised vitamin C gets to work.
Visible dark spots and post-blemish marks soften as tone evens across the complexion.
With continued use, brightness holds and a lasting, lit-from-within glow becomes visible.

20% tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, a stable, oil-soluble form of Vitamin C, with alpha-arbutin for pigmentation and tone.
L-ascorbic acid is effective but notoriously unstable. It oxidises on contact with air and light, which is why so many Vitamin C serums turn orange in the bottle and lose potency before the bottle is finished. THD ascorbate is stable and oil-soluble, so it holds its strength and penetrates the lipid-rich skin barrier more readily. At twelve weeks, 84% of participants experienced no irritation or sensitivity.
Pigmentation is the slowest of all skin concerns to shift, which is worth knowing before you start. At eight weeks, 91% of participants agreed the serum was visibly brightening their skin and 88% reported a more even tone. Established marks and sun damage change more gradually than overall brightness, and daily SPF is what keeps them from returning.
Each morning apply a pea-sized amount to cleansed skin, followed by SPF30+ to maximise results. In the evening apply a pea-sized amount to the face and smooth into the skin.
