Benefits

Brightening & Spot Fading: Formulated with 5% 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid (a highly stable, less irritating Vitamin C derivative) combined with pure Vitamin C and Glutathione to target dark spots, acne scars, and dullness.  

Barrier Support: Contains Niacinamide, Panthenol, and Allantoin to soothe skin, minimize red spots, and support the skin barrier while delivering brightening active ingredients.  

Dual Face & Eye Use: Formulated to be gentle enough for both facial application and the delicate under-eye area to help reduce dark circles.

Recommended Skin Types and Concerns

All Skin Types: Generally well-tolerated across normal, oily, combination, and dry skin.  

Oily & Combination Skin: Benefits from its lightweight, fast-absorbing gel-cream texture that hydrates without leaving a heavy or greasy residue.  

Dry Skin: Works well under a rich moisturizer, layered over hydrating toners.

Sensitive Skin: Tolerated better than high-concentration pure Vitamin C formulas because it relies on stabilized 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid paired with soothing agents (panthenol and allantoin). Patch testing is still recommended before full-face application.  

Dullness & Lack of Radiance: Helps restore a natural glow to tired or fatigued skin.  

Hyperpigmentation & Dark Spots: Works to fade post-acne marks, sun spots, and overall uneven pigmentation.  

Uneven Skin Tone & Texture: Niacinamide and Vitamin C work together to refine skin texture and promote tone clarity.  

Environmental Stress & Early Aging: Delivers free-radical protection  to guard against premature aging and fine lines. 

Active Ingredients 

3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid (50,000 ppm / 5%): The primary active ingredient. It is a highly stable, derivative form of Vitamin C that brightens skin tone, reduces hyperpigmentation, and offers antioxidant protection without degrading as quickly as pure L-ascorbic acid.  

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): Brightens dark spots, helps regulate sebum production, strengthens the skin barrier, and smooths overall texture.  

Ascorbic Acid (Pure Vitamin C) & Derivatives: Includes minor amounts of pure Ascorbic Acid, Ascorbyl Glucoside, and Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate to support tone correction and antioxidant defense.

Glutathione & Tocopherol (Vitamin E): Potent antioxidants that work synergistically with Vitamin C to neutralize free radicals, reduce oxidative stress, and enhance radiant skin tone.

Adenosine: A cell-communicating ingredient that aids in skin recovery, smoothing fine lines, and promoting elastic skin texture.  

Panthenol (Vitamin B5) & Allantoin: Soothing ingredients that protect the skin moisture barrier and minimize potential irritation from active brightening agents. 

How to Use

Start with clean, dry skin. Wash your face and apply your favorite toner or essence if you use one.

Dispense a pea-sized amount (1–2 pumps or drops). Smooth the lightweight gel-cream evenly across your face and neck. It is also gentle enough to pat lightly around the under-eye area to brighten dark circles.

Gently tap the serum into your skin using your fingertips until fully absorbed. Wait about 30 seconds before layering additional products.

Follow up with your daily moisturizer to lock in hydration. Always finish with a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher sunscreen during the day to protect the skin and maximize the brightening effects of Vitamin C.

Tips for Best Results

Frequency: Safe for daily morning use. If you have sensitive skin or are new to high-potency Vitamin C, start by applying it every other day for the first week to allow your skin to acclimate, then build up to daily use.  

Pairing: Pairs exceptionally well with hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and panthenol.  

What to Avoid: Avoid layering it directly with strong exfoliants (like high-percentage AHAs/BHAs) or retinal/retinol in the exact same application to prevent potential irritation. (If using Arencia’s Retinal Booster Shot, use Vitamin C in the morning and Retinal at night).
