How do I use this serum?

Shake well to activate the two layers.
In the morning, after cleansing and toning, apply 2 pumps onto clean face and neck.
Follow with moisturizer and sunscreen - pairing vitamin C with sunscreen can improve the efficacy of SPF, charging the skin's defense against sun damage.

How long does a bottle last after opened?

Our patented stabilizing technology provides advanced protection against photoxidative breakdown, preserving the efficacy of 15% L-ascorbic (pure vitamin C) over the usage period. It is recommended that the bottle be used within 3-6 months after opening.

Note that the 1 ounce (30ml) bottle is designed to be a 2-3 month supply, with consistent, daily use.

Is it safe to use this serum on sensitive skin?

Yes, most people with sensitive skin can use this serum safely. This serum is formulated with a pH greater than 3 to avoid disrupting the skin’s natural pH while optimizing for active absorption. It has also been tested on sensitive skin under dermatologist supervision as part of clinical RIPT to ensure compatibility with all skin types. However, given the high concentration of the active ingredient, we recommend patch testing before starting use and reducing the frequency of use in case of irritation.

What is the scent/smell of this serum?

Pure vitamin C has a natural scent that is slightly sour - Since XC15 is formulated with 15% stabilized pure vitamin C and does not have any added fragrances (to avoid common allergens), you are likely to smell its natural scent within the formula but consider it as a certificate of authenticity that disappears quickly as the product is absorbed.

When will I start seeing results after using this serum?

Everyone’s skin is different but based on clinical testing, it is normal to notice benefits (skin radiance/hydration) in as little as 2 weeks. Other longer term benefits like improvement in hyperpigmentation/discoloration and fine lines/wrinkles may take longer. As long as you continue your daily use, the pure vitamin C is doing its job combatting all 8 signs of aging, preventing against photooxidative and environmental damage.

Should I pair this serum with sunscreen?

Yes, we strongly recommend pairing your vitamin C serum with a broad spectrum sunscreen. While this serum does not replace SPF, pairing vitamin C with sunscreen can improve the efficacy of SPF, charging the skin's defense against photoaging and sun damage.

Can this serum be used with retinol or a retinoid?

Yes, we recommend using this vitamin C serum as the first step as part of your morning regimen, while a retinol or retinoid should be used as part of your nighttime regimen. There is no conflict in using both within the same daily skincare regimen, as long as you keep your skin hydrated and ensure skin tolerability. However, if you’re unsure about introducing new products into your routine, it is always best to consult a dermatologist.



My serum has changed color. Is it still okay to use?

Our patented stabilizing technology provides advanced protection against photoxidative breakdown, preserving the efficacy of 15% L-ascorbic (pure vitamin C) over the usage period. However, if stored at high temperatures for prolonged periods, you might notice a slight darkening in color, typical of pure vitamin C due to exposure to air and light. This darkening doesn't mean it's spoiled - the serum is still very effective but it does indicate a relative decrease in potency. 

We recommend using your bottle within 6 months of opening and storing in a cool, dry place once opened -  Note that the 1 ounce (30ml) bottle is designed to be a 2-3 month supply, with consistent, daily use.

Is this serum safe to use during pregnancy?

Yes, all forms of topical vitamin C (including L-ascorbic acid) are generally considered safe during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. However, if you’re uncertain about using any new skin care product or ingredient, please consult your physician.
