Details

Rooted in 35 years of dermatological expertise, Vita-C Glycolic Serum helps visibly brighten and smooth skin so you can stay ahead of visible skin concerns associated with hormonal aging.

Gold-stabilized vitamin C delivers higher antioxidant defense, is highly bioavailable for increased absorption, and ensures stability and potency of vitamin C to brighten skin. It can also help prevent visible skin damage—like hyperpigmentation, dullness, and uneven tone—that’s made more noticeable by hormonal aging.

Glycolic acid removes dead, dulling surface cells to reveal more radiant skin and help vitamin C penetrate skin more effectively.

Glycolic acid in Vita-C Glycolic Serum may produce a slight tingling sensation that is temporary and normal.
