This or That: Which Vitamin C Serum Is Right for You?

Same Star Ingredient. Two Different Formulas.

Vitamin C is a well-studied skincare ingredient that can help improve the appearance of dullness, dark spots, and uneven tone. Both of our Vitamin C serums offer these benefits. What sets them apart is the supporting formula and how much additional care you want from your serum.

How to Fit Your Serum Into Your Routine

Use after cleansing and before moisturizer and sunscreen during the the day.

Protect Your Brightening Progress with Daily SPF

Daily broad-spectrum SPF 30 helps protect your brightening progress by reducing UV exposure that can contribute to new dark spots, uneven tone, and visible signs of aging. Gold Vital C³ also contains exfoliating fruit acids that may increase sun sensitivity, making consistent sun protection especially important.
