Description

Reveal a brighter, smoother-looking complexion with Advanced Clinicals Vitamin C Serum. This facial serum combines vitamin C with ferulic acid and exfoliating alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) to help improve the appearance of uneven skin tone, dullness, dark spots and rough skin texture.

Vitamin C and ferulic acid provide antioxidant benefits, helping support a radiant-looking complexion, while glycolic acid and lactic acid help exfoliate the skin’s surface to improve the look and feel of uneven texture. Peptides and moisturising ingredients complement the formula to help maintain a smoother, more refreshed appearance.

Ideal for those looking to improve visible dullness and uneven-looking skin, this serum can be incorporated into a consistent skincare routine. Because it contains exfoliating acids, introduce it gradually and pair it with daily sunscreen to help protect your skin.

Texture & Finish

A lightweight gel serum designed to spread easily over the face and neck. It leaves the skin feeling conditioned and helps promote a smoother, refreshed appearance.

How To Use

1. Cleanse your face and pat dry.
2. Apply a thin layer of serum to the face and neck, avoiding the eye area.
3. Allow the serum to absorb before applying moisturiser.
4. During the day, finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher.

Start with a few applications per week to assess your skin’s tolerance before increasing frequency. Avoid applying it to irritated or broken skin.

When To Use

Use according to your skin’s tolerance, preferably starting in the evening. If using in the morning, follow with sunscreen.

Because the formula contains glycolic and lactic acids, avoid using it in the same routine with retinol, benzoyl peroxide or other strong exfoliating products until you know your skin can tolerate the combination.

U3C Expert Tip

Consistency matters more than using multiple strong actives at once. Start slowly, moisturise well and wear sunscreen daily. This is especially important when addressing dark spots, as unprotected sun exposure can make discoloration more noticeable.

U3C Skin Insight

Dark spots and post-blemish marks can take time to fade. A routine that combines gentle cleansing, appropriate brightening ingredients, moisturisation and daily sun protection is generally more sustainable than layering several aggressive treatments together.

Important Precautions

• For external use only.
• Patch-test before first use.
• Avoid contact with eyes and sensitive areas.
• The formula contains exfoliating AHAs, which can increase sensitivity to sunlight. Use sunscreen and limit excessive sun exposure during use and for one week after discontinuing.
• Avoid combining in the same routine with retinol, benzoyl peroxide or other strong exfoliants unless advised by a qualified skincare professional.
• Discontinue use if persistent irritation develops.
• Check the product packaging for the most current ingredient list.

U3C Recommendation

A good option for those looking to address dullness, uneven-looking skin tone, visible dark spots and rough texture with a vitamin C-based serum. Introduce it gradually, support your skin with moisturiser and make sunscreen a non-negotiable part of your routine.
