Can sensitive skin use a vitamin C serum?

Yes. The key is the form and the base. This serum uses tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate (THD), a gentle oil-soluble vitamin C, rather than the low-pH L-ascorbic acid that can sting. In a soothing olive squalane base at just two ingredients, it is formulated specifically with sensitive skin in mind.

Why does the Sensitive C Serum have only two ingredients?

Because that is all it needs. Squalane and THD vitamin C do the work, so there is nothing else, no fragrance, no preservative, no fillers, to irritate reactive skin. Fewer ingredients means fewer things your skin has to tolerate.

What strength is the Sensitive C Serum?

It is a 10% vitamin C concentration, a gentle entry point, ideal if you are new to vitamin C or have easily irritated skin. If you would like more once your skin is comfortable, the range steps up to 20% and 30%.

Does the Sensitive C Serum need to be refrigerated?

It does not require refrigeration, but keeping it in a cool spot out of direct sunlight helps preserve the vitamin C. The stable THD form and amber glass are designed to keep it fresh.

Can I use the Sensitive C Serum around my eyes?

Yes. The gentle oil base is suitable around the eye area. Avoid getting it directly in your eyes, and pat rather than rub.

When should I apply the Sensitive C Serum?

Morning is ideal, after cleansing and before sunscreen, so the antioxidant support is in place through the day. It works alongside your SPF. It is not a sunscreen itself, so keep applying your SPF.
