"Is it bad already? Did I waste my money? Why is my face orange?"
— The daily anxiety of Vitamin C users everywhere
You're not doing it wrong. Most Vitamin C serums just weren't made for real life — or for skin that's been around long enough to know better.
We heard you. The biggest problem isn't the formula — it's the fear. So we built this serum to remove the daily worry.
In 1992, Duke University discovered that Vitamin C combined with Vitamin E and Ferulic Acid provides 8x more protection than Vitamin C alone. This exact formula has been locked behind $180+ price tags for decades.
The patent expired. The science belongs to everyone now.
We use pure 20% L-Ascorbic Acid — the dermatologist-recommended maximum. Not 10%. Not 15%. The real thing.
That "awake" look you remember. Brightness that makes people ask if you've been on vacation.
Sun spots, age marks, old acne scars — they don't have to be permanent.
Not sticky. Not greasy. Won't pill under makeup or sunscreen. Fits into your actual morning.
Strong enough to work. Gentle enough for skin that's been through some things.
Let's be honest — that smell makes you not want to use it. Ours doesn't have it.
No orange hairline. No ruined pillowcases. No embarrassing collar marks.
Four ingredients. Decades of research. The same formula in $180 serums.
Not a derivative. Not diluted. The exact form dermatologists recommend at the maximum effective concentration.
Doubles the antioxidant protection. Soothes skin. Helps the formula feel comfortable, not harsh.
Keeps Vitamin C from going bad as fast. The Duke research showed this trio provides 8x more protection.
Holds 1000x its weight in water. Plumps fine lines. Makes the serum feel silky, not sticky.
This is the exact formula found in SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic — the $182 serum dermatologists have recommended for 20 years. Same science. Different price.
Cleanse & pat dry
3-4 drops on face & neck
Wait 60 seconds to absorb
Moisturizer + SPF 30
This isn't an overnight miracle. It's a long game — and it's worth it.
Skin feels smoother. A subtle "something's different" glow.
Brightness you can see. Skin tone starts evening out.
Dark spots visibly fading. Fine lines appear softer. People start noticing.
"I look like myself again." This is your skin now.
"I've thrown away so many serums that turned orange before I finished them. This one actually stayed good — and my skin finally looks awake again."
"I was terrified it would burn — my skin is so reactive. Started slow like they said. No irritation. My dark spots are actually fading."
"I paid $180 for SkinCeuticals for years. This is the same formula. Same results. I feel foolish for waiting so long to switch."
You've been paying for magazine ads and fancy packaging. Not better ingredients.

Fresh serum is clear to pale yellow. Light golden/amber is still fine — use it up. Dark brown or orange means it's oxidized and time for a new bottle. If yours arrives dark, we replace it free.
A slight tingle for the first few uses is normal — that's the Vitamin C at work. Burning or lasting redness is not. Start every other day for the first two weeks. If your skin gets angry, back off and build up slower.
That "hot dog water" smell comes from certain formulations. Ours has a mild, slightly metallic scent — most people say they barely notice it. It fades within a minute of application.
Pure Vitamin C can oxidize on skin if you use too much or don't let it absorb. Use 3-4 drops max. Let it dry completely before touching anything. Apply in the morning, not at night. Wash your hands after.
Yes — just not at the same time. Vitamin C in the morning (it protects against daytime damage). Retinol at night (it works while you sleep). They're a power couple when used separately.
Cool, dark place. The fridge is perfect. Keep the cap tight. Use within 90 days of opening. We print the made-on date so you always know where you stand.
Try it for 30 days. If you don't see brighter, smoother skin — or if it arrives oxidized — we'll refund you. No hoops. No guilt.
No more guessing if it's bad. No more orange hairlines. No more wasted money. Just skin that looks like you again — awake, healthy, and confident.
