Why it works

 

There are a lot of Vitamin C serums, but we’ve created a new gold standard. Our unique powerhouse formula features four potent antioxidants (Vitamin C, Polyhydroxy Acid, Feverfew and Green Tea Extract) in every drop for brighter, more radiant skin in just one week! The star ingredient is 15% Pure Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid), a powerful skin brightener, selected for its effectiveness over Vitamin C derivatives featured in many Vitamin C serums. Our pure Vitamin C is uniquely paired with Polyhydroxy Acid (PHA) which gently exfoliates the skin’s surface to allow the Pure Vitamin C to absorb into fresh, renewed surface layers of skin.

Immediately after applying this lightweight and easy-to-absorb formula, your skin will appear glowing and refreshed. After just one week, skin will appear brighter and more radiant. After just four weeks, fine lines & wrinkles are less apparent and skin begins to look less stressed. When used consistently after 12 weeks, skin will appear dramatically brighter, more even and youthful.*

Feverfew and Green Tea Extract are included to boost antioxidant capacity which bolsters protection against environmental aggressors that could worsen the look of uneven skin tone and other signs of aging. Antioxidants are known to diminish the signs of aging caused by environmental aggressors like pollution.

This is for anyone seeking Vitamin C in a formula packed with antioxidants to diminish the signs of aging skin. You'll “C” the visible difference in your skin in no time.

Dermatologist Insight

"As a dermatologist in Southern California, I see many patients experiencing sunspots. Exfoliation combined with Vitamin C is a great way to combat them. I love that NEOSTRATA® combines 15% pure Vitamin C with Polyhydroxy Acids to gently exfoliate the skin, allowing Vitamin C to absorb to address dark spots and brighten the skin more effectively."

How to apply

Apply to clean, dry face, neck and décolletage every morning, and follow with a NEOSTRATA moisturizer.

Storage: Store upright in a cool, dark place and open with care as contents may be under pressure. Product color may change over time but remains effective.

Pro Tip: Use an SPF face cream every day - even when it's cloudy outside - to help fend off dark spots and uneven skin tone. For best results, choose a broad spectrum SPF of 30 or above and reapply sunscreen at least every 2 hours, more frequently for fairer skin types.

Complement your daily brightening regimen by adding Illuminating Serum in the evening. This multi-action face serum featuring Niacinamide and NeoGlucosamine helps target and visibly fade dark spots while diminishing uneven skin tone. 15% Vitamin C + PHA Serum and Illuminating Serum are our go-to power duo for brighter, more radiant looking skin.
