Vitamin C Booster Shot: four forms of vitamin C
Dull skin and marks left behind by old breakouts are two of the most common reasons people reach for vitamin C. This 30 ml serum layers four vitamin C forms with glutathione, niacinamide and vitamin E, for a brighter, more even-looking complexion.

Frequently asked questions
Which vitamin C does it use?
Mainly 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid, a stabilized derivative, plus smaller amounts of ascorbic acid, ascorbyl glucoside and sodium ascorbyl phosphate.
Can I use it with niacinamide products?
Yes, it already contains niacinamide. The old idea that the two cancel each other out does not hold up for modern formulas.
Is it suitable for beginners?
Derivatives are usually gentler than high-strength pure vitamin C, so it is a reasonable first vitamin C. Start once a day and see how your skin responds.
Who should be careful
Vitamin C can tingle on sensitive or freshly exfoliated skin; start every other day if needed. Avoid applying it at the same time as benzoyl peroxide, which can reduce its effectiveness. Store the bottle away from heat and sunlight.
Patch test first: apply a little to the inner forearm or behind the ear and wait 24 to 48 hours before using it on your face.
