Vitamin C Collagen Boosting Face Serum with Niacinamide
This concentrated vitamin C serum delivers clinical-grade brightening power while supporting natural collagen synthesis. The stable ethyl ascorbic acid formula penetrates deeper than traditional L-ascorbic acid, making it suitable for sensitive skin types that typically cannot tolerate high-potency vitamin C. Paired with niacinamide to regulate sebum production and minimize pore appearance, this serum addresses multiple skin concerns in one expertly balanced formula.
The addition of natural alpha hydroxy acids from botanical fruit extracts provides gentle enzymatic exfoliation, revealing the brighter, more even-toned complexion that lies beneath. Hyaluronic acid and aloe ensure the skin remains plump and hydrated throughout the renewal process.
Key Ingredients
Ethyl Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C)
A stable, water-soluble form of vitamin C that converts to L-ascorbic acid once absorbed. This derivative offers superior stability and penetration while providing the same antioxidant protection and collagen-boosting benefits as traditional vitamin C, but with significantly less irritation potential.
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)
Regulates sebum production, strengthens the skin barrier, and reduces the appearance of enlarged pores. This versatile ingredient also helps fade post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and works synergistically with vitamin C to enhance overall skin clarity.
Vaccinium Myrtillus (Bilberry) Extract
Rich in natural anthocyanins and alpha hydroxy acids, bilberry extract provides gentle enzymatic exfoliation while delivering potent antioxidant protection. The natural acids help accelerate cell turnover for a more refined skin texture.
Sodium Hyaluronate
The sodium salt of hyaluronic acid with a smaller molecular weight that allows for deeper penetration into the skin. Holds up to 1,000 times its weight in water, ensuring optimal hydration levels while the active ingredients work to renew the complexion.
Botanical Fruit Complex
Sugar cane, orange, and lemon extracts provide naturally occurring glycolic, citric, and tartaric acids that gently resurface the skin. These plant-derived AHAs work more gently than their synthetic counterparts while delivering comparable brightening results.
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice
Provides immediate soothing relief and anti-inflammatory benefits. Rich in polysaccharides that help maintain skin hydration and support the healing process during active ingredient application.
How to Use in Your Daily Routine
Morning Application:
After cleansing, apply 3-4 drops to clean, dry skin. Gently press into face and neck, avoiding the immediate eye area. Allow 2-3 minutes for complete absorption before applying moisturizer. Always follow with broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher, as vitamin C can increase photosensitivity during initial use.
Evening Application:
Apply to freshly cleansed skin as the first treatment step. Use 3-4 drops, pressing gently into skin using upward motions. Wait for complete absorption before layering additional serums or moisturizer. Begin with every other evening for the first two weeks, then increase to nightly use as tolerated.
Application Notes:
Store in a cool, dark place to maintain vitamin C potency. If you experience any tingling upon first use, this is normal and should subside as your skin builds tolerance. Avoid mixing with retinol or benzoyl peroxide in the same routine.
Pairs Well With
Marula Face Oil
The omega-rich marula oil provides the perfect moisture barrier to seal in the vitamin C serum's active ingredients. Marula's natural antioxidants complement the vitamin C, while its lightweight texture won't interfere with the serum's absorption. Apply the face oil as your final step to lock in hydration and enhance the anti-aging benefits.
Hawaiian Black Lava Body Caviar Body Scrub
While this serum targets facial skin renewal, the body scrub extends the brightening and exfoliating benefits to your entire body. Both products work through gentle exfoliation principles, the serum using fruit-derived AHAs and the scrub using volcanic minerals, creating a comprehensive approach to skin refinement.
New Imperial Jade Body Oil
For those incorporating vitamin C into their entire skincare routine, this antioxidant-rich body oil provides similar protective benefits for the body. The jade-infused formula offers complementary mineral content that supports the skin's natural renewal processes initiated by the vitamin C serum.
