GOOD FOR

Dry or dehydrated and wanting vitamin C without disruption / Sensitive or reactive — the lipid base reduces irritation risk significantly / New to vitamin C — a gentler starting point than Super C Ferulic / Already using Crystal Retinal and wanting to add vitamin C safely

HOW TO USE

Apply a small amount to clean skin in the morning after toning. The lipid texture absorbs more slowly than a water-based serum — give it a minute before applying moisturiser on top. Follow with SPF. Can be used alongside Crystal Retinal or other vitamin A products as part of an AM/PM split routine.

Vitamin C in a lipid base rather than a water base changes who it suits and how it performs. Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate is an oil-soluble form of vitamin C — stable, effective, and significantly less irritating than ascorbic acid because it doesn't disrupt the skin's natural lipid layer. Where water-based vitamin C serums can feel stripping or cause stinging on sensitive skin, this absorbs like a nourishing oil. Squalane, jojoba and a blend of plant oils make the texture genuinely pleasant to use. The grapefruit peel oil gives it a subtle natural scent. For anyone who has tried vitamin C and reacted to it, or who has dry skin and found most serums uncomfortable — this is the formulation to try.
