Vitamin C Facial Serum, 30ml

You slept. You drank the water. Your skin still looks like it stayed up without you. This is one small step for the mornings when your face looks flat and tired.

What it does for you

A light, water-based serum with vitamin C, the ingredient most people reach for when skin has lost its brightness. It goes on after cleansing and before your cream, and it sinks in rather than sitting on top. Vitamin E and hyaluronic acid are named alongside it for softness and moisture.

What's in the box

One 30ml glass bottle with a dropper.

How to use it

In the morning, on clean, dry skin. Put three or four drops in your palm. Press them over your face and neck, keeping clear of your eyes. Give it a minute. Follow with your moisturiser, then sunscreen. Start with every second day for the first two weeks and move to daily if your skin is comfortable.

Is this the one for you

Yes, if your skin looks dull or uneven and you want one step to add, not a whole routine. Perhaps not, if your skin stays pink after washing or stings easily. Vitamin C can be too much for skin like that, and the Centella Five-Piece Skincare Set is the gentler choice.

Ingredients

Key ingredients named by the manufacturer: vitamin C, vitamin E, hyaluronic acid. Check the full ingredient list printed on your packaging before first use.

Before you start

Patch test first: put a little on your inner arm and wait 24 hours. A light tingle in the first minute can happen with vitamin C. Burning, lasting redness or itching means wash it off and stop. Do not use it on broken or sunburnt skin, and keep it out of your eyes. Wear sunscreen every day while you use it. Keep the bottle closed, cool and out of sunlight. Vitamin C serums darken as they age, so stop using it if it turns dark brown or smells off.
