Key Ingredients & Their Roles

• Sea Buckthorn (Hippophae Rhamnoides) Water + Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid / derivatives) — powerful antioxidants that brighten skin, fade dark spots, and support collagen production.
• Niacinamide — helps even out skin tone, improve texture, and strengthen skin’s barrier.
• Tranexamic Acid — reduces hyperpigmentation and dark spots, for a more uniform complexion.
• Hyaluronic Acid + Humectants (Glycerin, Betaine, etc.) — deeply hydrate skin, keeping it plump, soft, and smooth.
• Centella Asiatica Leaf Water + Ceramide NP + Soothing agents (Allantoin, Panthenol, Beta-Glucan) — calm irritation, support skin barrier, and soothe sensitive skin.

How to Use Vitamin C Boosting Serum

• After cleansing and toning (and optionally after essence), apply 2–3 drops of the serum on clean, dry or slightly damp skin.
• Gently pat or massage it into face and neck until fully absorbed.
• Follow with moisturizer and — if it’s daytime — sunscreen.
• Use daily (morning or evening) for best results.

Benefits Vitamin C Boosting Serum

• Brightens dull skin and restores a radiant glow.

Contraindications / Warnings

• Because it contains active Vitamin C and potentially brightening acids, avoid use on broken, freshly exfoliated, or inflamed skin.
• If you have very reactive or easily irritated skin, patch-test first, especially because vitamin C can cause stinging or sensitivity.
• Always follow with broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day — brightening serums can increase sun sensitivity.
• Avoid layering immediately after strong exfoliants (AHAs/BHAs) or retinoids to reduce risk of irritation.
