Why It's Special
Turn up the brightness
Whether your skin feels lackluster or you’re noticing more dark spots, this concentrated form of Vitamin C (plus other powerhouse plant actives) lighten and brighten to keep your glow going strong.
Effective to the last drop
Frightening fact: most Vitamin C serums aren’t potent by the time they get to your shelf. Ours uses a highly stable form of Vitamin C, so when you put it on your face—you’re getting peak effectiveness.

Plant actives like Aspen Bark (a source of BHA) gently renew your skin, while Aloe and Rose soothe and reduce redness. The result: an even, all-around radiant complexion.

FAQ
Q: Is Vitamin C, Mountain Glow, or Lunar Bloom (or all three) the serum for me?
A: Good question! Whether you use one, two, or all three serums is totally up to your own skincare goals and routine preferences.
Brighten Up Vitamin C Serum is our lightweight and layerable brightening treatment, designed to target hyperpigmentation, even out skin tone, and give dull skin that extra boost of radiance.
Mountain Glow Golden Serum is our do-it-all super-serum designed to deeply nourish and restore lasting moisture to your skin, combat visible signs of aging, and reveal a healthy, dewy glow.
For PM use only, Lunar Bloom Retinal Serum is a supercharged powerhouse that helps rewind the look of fine lines and wrinkles while you sleep. It works by promoting renewal and boosting collagen in mature or lackluster skin.
If you opt for using all three serums, our recommendation would be to use Vitamin C in the morning and layer Mountain Glow over Lunar Bloom at night, or alternate between these two serums every other night.

Q: How and when do I use this product?
A: For best brightening results and combating of free radical damage, apply this serum to clean, dry skin before moisturizing.
Pair Vitamin C with Force Field SPF 30 before heading outdoors to treat the skin you’re in, while protecting it against future harm.
Q: Is this product suitable for sensitive skin?
A: Because we decided to go just slightly below the maximum ingredient dosage, our Vitamin C Serum retains all the power without risking unnecessary irritation. Of course, as with any product, if you have extra-sensitive skin, we might recommend doing a patch test to check before applying to the full face.
Unlike other Vitamin C serums, Brighten Up Vitamin C does not cause photo-senstivity, but we absolutely encourage pairing with an SPF before heading outdoors!
Q: What is the percentage / concentration of Vitamin C?
A: We formulated our Vitamin C Serum with ascorbic acid polypeptide, a version of Vitamin C that retains its potency far longer than traditional formulas. It's in there at a concentration of 1.5% (the maximum dose for this ingredient is 2.0%). We decided to go just slightly below that maximum to avoid any unnecessary irritation without sacrificing efficacy.
Q: Is there any chance of oxidation?
A: We’ve conducted rigorous testing of this product efficiency and ingredient stability prior to launch to ensure that your serum is totally fresh when it reaches your hand. This serum is protected against any potential degradation thanks to special UV-coated glass packaging. We also chose a stabilized version of Vitamin C (ascorbic acid/orange/citrus limon/citrus aurantifolia polypeptide) and added additional antioxidants like rosemary extract to further delay oxidation.
Q: How do I recycle this product?
A: When you run out, just give the glass container a rinse and recycle it at home. The plastic pump is mixed material and cannot be recycled at this time.
Q: What is the aroma?
A: Fresh-squeezed citrus topped with herbaceous rose hip and a hint of sour rose.
