Cosmetic

Topical skincare serum to help brighten dull skin, reduce appearance of dark spots/post-acne marks, improve uneven skin tone, and provide antioxidant protection.

Vitamin C is an antioxidant that helps neutralize free radicals from UV and pollution, reducing oxidative stress. It also supports collagen synthesis and can inhibit excess melanin formation, helping improve brightness and the look of hyperpigmentation over time.

For external use only. Apply 2-3 drops on clean, dry face and neck, gently pat until absorbed. Use once daily (preferably morning) or as tolerated; follow with moisturizer and broad-spectrum sunscreen in daytime. Avoid contact with eyes and broken/irritated skin; patch test before first use.

mild stinging/tingling, redness, irritation, dryness, peeling, itching, allergic rash (rare)

Patch test recommended, especially for sensitive skin. Stop use and consult a dermatologist if persistent irritation, swelling, or severe redness occurs. Avoid layering with strong exfoliating acids/retinoids initially if irritation occurs. Citrus/fragrance components may irritate sensitive skin; use sunscreen daily as brightening routines can increase sun sensitivity. Keep out of reach of children.

May increase irritation when used with strong AHA/BHA peels, benzoyl peroxide, or retinoids (use at different times if needed). If formula contains pure L-ascorbic acid, avoid combining in the same routine with benzoyl peroxide due to oxidation; if ethyl ascorbic acid, compatibility is generally better (exact form unknown).

Store tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Do not refrigerate unless label advises. Discard if color/odor changes markedly.
