Is 30% vitamin C too strong for me?

It is our highest strength, best suited to people who already use vitamin C comfortably. If you are new to vitamin C, or you have sensitive skin, start with the Sensitive C (10%) or the 20% formula and work up. There is no benefit in starting stronger than your skin is ready for.

How is the 30% different from the 20% plus Bakuchiol?

Same pairing, higher vitamin C concentration, 30% versus 20%. The 20% is our most popular everyday formula; the 30% is for experienced users who have built up tolerance and want more. Both include 1% bakuchiol.

Does bakuchiol increase sun sensitivity?

Unlike retinol, bakuchiol is not known to make skin more sensitive to the sun. Daily sunscreen is still essential, especially at this strength and especially in Australia. Vitamin C and bakuchiol support your skin, but they do not replace SPF.

Is the 30% serum safe during pregnancy?

Retinoids are generally avoided in pregnancy and some people look to bakuchiol as a plant-based alternative, but safety data for bakuchiol in pregnancy is limited. Please check with your healthcare provider before using this or any active while pregnant or breastfeeding.

How should I introduce a 30% serum?

Gradually, even if you use actives already. Start with evening application every other day, and build up as your skin adjusts. If you notice any sensitivity, drop back the frequency.

Natural Vitamin E: GMO free Mixed Tocopherols Natural vitamin E is different to synthetic vitamin E, also called Tocopherol Acetate. Tocopherol Acetate (synthetic) is associated with sensitivity reactions (rare but it does happen). Natural vitamin E is safer for sensitive skin. Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. It helps to protect skin from the premature aging effects caused by UV radiation & pollution. It also helps to keep your skincare protected from oxidation (going rancid).
