Loved & recommended
Vitamin C is the best-evidenced brightening antioxidant we have — the challenge is always stability. A stabilised form used in the morning under SPF is the right way to run it, and for dark spots and dullness it is a reliable daily brightener.

FAQs
Morning or night?
Morning, after cleansing and before SPF — vitamin C boosts your daytime antioxidant defence.
Can I use it with retinol?
Yes, but many people prefer vitamin C in the morning and retinol at night.
Will it help with dark spots?
It targets the look of dark spots and uneven tone with consistent use. Always pair with daily SPF.
Do I still need sunscreen?
Yes — vitamin C complements SPF but does not replace it. Sunscreen is essential every morning.
How much should I use?
Three to four drops smoothed over the face and neck.
What if it starts to change colour?
Store it cool and out of light. A slight deepening over time is normal; discard it if it turns dark orange or brown.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
Introduce it gradually and patch test first; if your skin is very reactive, start every other morning.
How should I store it?
Keep it somewhere cool and out of direct sunlight with the cap closed, so the actives stay stable.
Is it safe to use during pregnancy?
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, we recommend checking with your doctor before starting any new active skincare.
How is it shipped, and can I return it?
Shipping is free on every order with no minimum, and there is a 30-day, no-questions-asked return guarantee if it is not right for you.
