Brightening & Glow. Helps in repairing the skin from Sun Damage & Pollution Damage.

pH 6 

Vitamin C is one of the most effective & proven ingredients in skincare. Let this gel reveal your best skin. We use Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate pH 6, which is less irritating and more stable. While traditional vitamin C serums use (L-Ascorbic Acid pH of 3.5) which can irritate sensitive skin and is less stable.

Product Size: 20ml 

This Formula is now UNSCENTED, It means it doesn't have any essential oil or fragrance added to it. The smell may not be very pleasant but it isn't unpleasant either. 

Ingredients

Antioxidants are more stable together than alone. A combination of Sodium Ascorbyl phosphate, Ferulic Acid, Tocopherol(Vit E), and Curcumin work in synergy to give radiant skin.

Curcumin is a strong antioxidant and has shown UV-B Protective properties. It helps with tanning due to sun exposure.

Ferulic Acid is found in Rice Bran. It has strong antioxidant properties.

Gotu Kola is a skin rejuvenator. It helps with refining skin texture. It also helps with Sun Damage.

Directions.

Using it in the mornings ensures maximum efficiency as it reduces and reverses sun damage. Follow up with a moisturizer. We suggest using it on a damp skin for better penetration.

How to avoid reaction with water based serums?

Add 1-2 drops of Squalane to the water based serums and apply. When skins' barrier is damaged, skin can be quick to react. Skin has very small dry cracks, they needs emollients(oils) to fill up those cracks. If actives are applied to such cracks then irritation can occur. Its best to apply light  non problematic emollients like squalane first and then apply water based serums on top. Your actives will work slower this way but you wont take chances with irritation. Alternatively add 1 drop of Squalene to water based products and apply. 

Please store below 30C or keep it in the fridge

Notes

1. Can be used in combination with Niacinamide, because Sodium Ascorbyl Phospate (the form of Vit C) goes well with Niacinamide. 

2. You can combine with HA Serums

3. You can add a few drops to your moisturiser. 

4. After AHA or BHA pls wait for 10 min before you apply this serum.

Sun sensitivity & Vit C Serums

1. Doesn't cause any sensitivity so can be used in the morning. Can be used by all skin types.

2. Some skin types may darken slightly due to actives during sun exposure, in such case use it in the night regime.

3. Using it in the morning gives best results in terms of collagen degradation.

Vit C + Moisturiser

1. This Vit C serum is not a moisturiser. Hence use of moisturiser is necessary. 

2. Using it with only gels like aloe vera gel can be drying to your skin. so follow up with a proper cream instead of gels only. 

3. If you prefer to use only Gel-based moisturiser or Aloe gel you can add 1-2 drops of Squalane to the gels and use as a moistruiser. 

4. This is important if your skin is combination or dehydrated. 

SKIN PURGING

Vit C can accelerate skin cell turnover. Hence you may face slight purging initially, esp Acne-prone skin. 

As active ingredients speed up skin cell formation, which means that underlying blocked pores are coming to the skin's surface. This is called skin purging. This may end within 2 to 4 weeks. After that, your skin will be clear.  

Start slow. Use 1 drop added to your moisturiser if you have reactive skin.

Vitamin C and Color Change

The formula of our Antioxidant Serum is very stable as we use Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, which is stable for 6-9months. We also use a combination of antioxidants( Vitamin E, Ferulic Acid and Curcumin) to make it more stable. We make products in small batches thereby ensuring that fresh batch is sent to you everytime. Please note that there will be a slight color change with Vitamin C serum. Please store the serum in fridge.
