    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.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Refill tube of our gold-stabilised vitamin C and glycolic acid serum for dramatically brighter, healthier-looking skin. 1 refill reduces packaging material by 80%* and fits into your Vita-C Glycolic Serum bottle (sold separately).

    Gold-stabilized vitamin C, glycolic acid, and a phyto-luminescent extract are the primary actives listed for brightening and exfoliation. Gold-stabilised Vitamin C, a form designed to remain potent and active longer than traditional Vitamin C forms exposed to light, heat, and air. This ensures consistent brightening performance. Vitamin C helps visibly brighten and defend against oxidative stress, while Glycolic Acid helps improve surface renewal. Together, they support skin that appears dull or uneven due to hormonal and environmental ageing factors.

    Vitamin C is highly unstable. Gold stabilisation helps prevent oxidation, maintaining potency and improving delivery to the skin so results are more reliable over time.

    Vita-C Glycolic Serum helps visibly brighten dull skin, improve uneven tone and support smoother-looking texture. It combines Glycolic Acid to help remove surface buildup with Vitamin C to enhance radiance and antioxidant protection - especially beneficial for skin experiencing hormonal ageing during perimenopause and menopause. Hormonal ageing can contribute to skin looking duller, flatter and less luminous over time due to slower surface renewal and increased environmental stress. Glycolic Acid helps exfoliate surface buildup while Vitamin C supports brighter, healthier-looking skin.

    Glycolic Acid exfoliates the surface layer of dead skin cells. This clears the pathway for Vitamin C to absorb more effectively, enhances skin clarity, and promotes smoother texture. Glycolic Acid helps remove surface buildup so skin is better able to receive active ingredients, while Vitamin C helps visibly brighten and defend against environmental stressors. During hormonal ageing, when skin renewal naturally slows, this combination helps support a more radiant and even-looking complexion. Hormonal ageing can contribute to rough texture and slower cell turnover. Glycolic Acid helps exfoliate dead surface cells to support smoother, softer and more radiant-looking skin.

    Vita-C Glycolic Serum focuses on instant radiance and brightness, improving glow and smoothing surface texture. Rapid Dark Spot Correcting Serum targets deep, stubborn pigment formation, including post-acne marks, sun spots, and melasma.They can be used together in a routine, or chosen based on whether your concern is overall dullness or specific spots.

    Apply a few drops to clean skin as part of your skincare routine. Follow with moisturiser and daily sunscreen during daytime use.

    Best for skin showing dullness, uneven tone, or texture concerns who want a brightening, exfoliating, vitamin C serum. This serum is ideal for anyone experiencing dullness, uneven tone, rough texture or visible fatigue in the skin. It is especially beneficial during perimenopause and menopause, when hormonal changes can contribute to slower renewal and loss of radiance. Hormonal ageing can contribute to skin looking duller, flatter and less luminous over time due to slower surface renewal and increased environmental stress. Glycolic Acid helps exfoliate surface buildup while Vitamin C supports brighter, healthier-looking skin. Environmental stressors including pollution and UV exposure can contribute to visible skin ageing. During hormonal ageing, skin may become more vulnerable to these stressors, making antioxidant support increasingly important.

    Hormonal fluctuations can affect skin renewal, hydration and how skin responds to environmental stressors. Many people notice their complexion appearing less radiant, more uneven and more fatigued-looking during perimenopause and menopause.
    As estrogen levels decline, skin’s natural renewal process can slow down and antioxidant support may decrease. This can leave skin looking dull, uneven and tired. Vitamin C and Glycolic Acid help improve skin radiance and support smoother, brighter-looking skin.

    Yes. Skin during perimenopause and menopause may appear duller, more uneven and less radiant due to slower renewal and environmental stress. Vita-C Glycolic Serum helps support brighter, smoother and more luminous-looking skin through exfoliation and antioxidant support.

    As skin matures, natural renewal slows and hormonal fluctuations can affect hydration, brightness and overall radiance. Environmental exposure accumulated over time can also contribute to dullness and uneven tone.

    Skin typically looks brighter and more refreshed within 1–2 weeks, with ongoing improvement in evenness and smoothness over 4–8 weeks.

    Yes. Daily use helps support ongoing exfoliation and antioxidant protection, which becomes increasingly important during hormonal ageing when skin renewal naturally slows.

    It is ideal in the morning to help defend against daily environmental stressors. If using at night, avoid layering with other strong exfoliants unless your skin is accustomed to acids.

    Yes - but use Vitamin C in the morning andRetinol/Retinal at night. This pairing supports brightness during theday and renewal while you sleep.

    Yes - including normal, combination, oily, and dry. Those with sensitive skin should introduce gradually due to the exfoliating acid component. This serum is ideal for anyone experiencing dullness, uneven tone, rough texture or visible fatigue in the skin. It is especially beneficial during perimenopause and menopause, when hormonal changes can contribute to slower renewal and loss of radiance.

    Yes. The formula is free from parabens, sulfates, phthalates, gluten, and animal-derived ingredients.

    Vita-C Glycolic Serum is a lightweight serum that absorbs quickly into the skin.

    Yes, these serums work well together but target different concerns. They should not be layered. Vita-C Glycolic Serum provides overall brightening and antioxidant protection with gold-stabilized vitamin C, while Rapid Dark Spot Correcting Serum uses Patented Resorcinol Technology to specifically target and correct existing dark spots. Use Vita-C Glycolic Serum in your morning routine and Rapid Dark Spot Correcting Serum in the evening. Always use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin from UV damage. During perimenopause and menopause, skin can become more reactive to UV exposure and inflammation, which may contribute to uneven-looking pigmentation and dullness. Consistent exfoliation and antioxidant support can help improve overall skin radiance and clarity.

    Some mild, brief tingling is normal due to Glycolic Acid. If irritation occurs, reduce frequency and ensure skin barrier support through moisturiser. Always introduce active ingredients gradually if your skin is sensitive. During hormonal ageing, skin can become more reactive, so barrier-supportive hydration and daily SPF are especially important when using exfoliating acids and Vitamin C.

    Yes. Daily SPF is essential to maintain results and protect new, freshly resurfaced skin.

    "Excellent product! Helps with dark spots."

    Ravin P. (5/5)

    Pleasant to use but still waiting for Results

    "I’ve been using this serum consistently for about two weeks now, and while I had high hopes, I haven’t seen a noticeable improvement in my dark spots yet. The serum itself feels lightweight and absorbs well into the skin without leaving any sticky residue, which I do like. It also layers nicely under my moisturizer and makeup. However, when it comes to fading spots or evening out my skin tone, the results so far have been underwhelming. My spots are still quite visible, and I haven’t noticed any significant brightening effect. That said, I understand that skincare can take time, so I’m willing to continue using it a bit longer to see if results improve with more consistent use. Overall, it’s pleasant to use, but based on the first two weeks, I can’t yet say it delivers on its claims for spot reduction."

    Dolapo S. (3/5)

    LOVE how this serum rejeivenates!

    "Wow do I love this serum--soaks in quickly, feels blissful, plumps and restores a glow. Plus, dark spots and fine lines are diminished."

    Glow in a bottle
