This is a 10% vitamin C facial serum built around Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, a fat-soluble form of vitamin C that stays stable far longer than the water-soluble version and absorbs into skin without the irritation ascorbic acid can cause. Instead of a watery base, it is suspended in an organic antioxidant blend of plum seed oil, hibiscus, cloudberry, lingonberry, and sea buckthorn.
Press a few drops into clean skin in the morning or at night before moisturizer. The oil-serum texture sinks in quickly and layers under sunscreen or makeup, and the Aligca Swedish algae extract keeps skin hydrated through the day without leaving a sticky film.
