Pure C + E

Vivant Skincare Pure C + E

Daily Vitamin C, E & Niacinamide Brightening Antioxidant Serum

The Vivant Skincare Pure C + E is a high-potency daily antioxidant serum engineered to restore radiant luminosity, boost collagen synthesis, smooth fine lines, and protect against environmental oxidative stress. Combining pure L-Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) with Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Niacinamide (Vitamin B3), and Lactic Acid, this daily treatment neutralizes free radicals generated by UV exposure and pollution while interrupting melanin synthesis pathways.

Enhanced with biomimetic Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF) components—including Sodium PCA, Sodium Lactate, Glycine, and Urea—this balanced formula conditions the skin barrier as it brightens. Ideal for all skin phototypes dealing with surface dullness, early photoaging, uneven tone, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), or menopausal skin facing loss of firmness and environmental reactivity, it provides essential daytime photoprotection alongside broad-spectrum SPF.

Key Benefits

  • Daily Antioxidant Shield: Synergizes Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) and Vitamin E to neutralize reactive oxygen species (ROS) and defend against UV-induced environmental damage.
  • Brightens Dull, Lackluster Skin: Boosts epidermal radiance, eliminates surface dullness, and uncovers a luminous, even-looking tone.
  • Fades Dark Spots & PIH: Ascorbic Acid and Niacinamide work in tandem to suppress tyrosinase activity and block melanosome transfer, fading post-acne marks and sun spots.
  • Supports Collagen Synthesis: Pure L-Ascorbic Acid serves as an essential cofactor in collagen cross-linking, supporting structural firmness and smoothing fine lines.
  • Reinforces Barrier Resilience: Vitamin E, Niacinamide, and biomimetic humectants prevent trans-epidermal moisture loss (TEWL) and soothe surface redness.
  • Amplifies Sunscreen Efficacy: Neutralizes solar free radicals that penetrate physical and chemical UV filters when worn under daily broad-spectrum SPF.

Targeted Skin Types & Concerns

  • Best For: Normal, Combination, Oily, Dry, Mature, and Pigmentation-Prone skin types.
  • Skin Concerns: Dull, tired-looking complexion, uneven skin tone, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), sun spots, early signs of photoaging, fine lines, loss of visible firmness, environmental pollution stress, and menopausal skin dullness.
  • Not Ideal For: Severely compromised, broken, or actively weeping skin barriers, or individuals with extreme hypersensitivity to pure L-Ascorbic Acid.

Sensory Profile

  • What You'll See: A visibly brighter, smoother, and more radiant complexion with tightened-looking texture, improved tone uniformity, and diminished dark spots over time.
  • What You'll Feel: A lightweight, fluid serum that absorbs cleanly into the skin; a brief, temporary warming or tingling sensation may occur upon application as active L-Ascorbic Acid absorbs.

Key Active Ingredients & Science

  • Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C): Biologically active, pure L-Ascorbic Acid that provides potent antioxidant defense, stimulates collagen synthesis, and suppresses melanin production.
  • Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E): Lipid-soluble antioxidant that works synergistically with Vitamin C to regenerate antioxidant capacity and protect cell membranes from lipid peroxidation.
  • Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): Calms active micro-inflammation, supports ceramide synthesis, regulates sebum, and blocks pigment transfer to keratinocytes.
  • Lactic & Citric Acids: Micro-exfoliating AHAs that optimize formulation pH, dissolve surface dead cells, and bind moisture within the stratum corneum.
  • NMF Hydration Complex (Urea, Sodium PCA, Sodium Lactate, Glycine): Biomimetic components that replenish moisture reserves and prevent hydration loss during active antioxidant application.

How to Use

AM | Daytime Antioxidant Step (Step 3: Treatment)

After cleansing and toning, dispense approximately a dime-sized amount onto clean fingertips and smooth evenly over clean, dry skin on the face, neck, and décolleté, avoiding the eyelids and immediate eye area. Allow the serum to absorb completely for 1 to 2 minutes before applying your daily moisturizer and sunscreen.

Recommended Acclimation Schedule:

  • Weeks 1–2: Apply every other morning to build skin tolerance to active L-Ascorbic Acid.
  • Week 3+: Increase to daily morning application as tolerated by your skin barrier.
  • Regimen Layering: Ideal morning companion to evening Vitamin A (Retinyl Propionate) or Mandelic Acid routines.

AM: Daily application of broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher (such as Mesoprotech Melan 130 or Light Water Veil) is mandatory. For clients managing melasma or PIH, broad-spectrum tinted sunscreen containing iron oxides offers crucial protection against High-Energy Visible (HEV/blue) light.

Amare Clinical Tip: Pure L-Ascorbic Acid works best when layered beneath broad-spectrum sun protection every morning. In melanin-rich complexions (Fitzpatrick IV–VI), coupling daily Vitamin C with iron oxide-tinted sunscreen creates a powerful barrier against visible light-induced hyperpigmentation. If you are also using evening retinoids (such as Vivant Derm-A-Gel® or Exfol-A™), keeping Pure C + E in the morning prevents potential over-exfoliation while maximizing round-the-clock correction.

Important to Know

  • Active Vitamin C Formula: Contains active L-Ascorbic Acid and micro-exfoliating acids; a brief tingling sensation upon application is normal.
  • Color Evolution: Vitamin C naturally darkens over time due to air and light exposure. To preserve potency, store the bottle tightly sealed in a cool, dark place (refrigeration is recommended). Use within 3 to 6 months of opening.
  • Does Not Replace Sunscreen: Antioxidant serums neutralize free radicals but do not absorb or reflect UV rays; broad-spectrum SPF 30+ remains essential.
  • Avoid Broken Skin: Do not apply to open breakouts, active eczema, or severely compromised skin barriers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does Vivant Pure C + E combine Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and Niacinamide?

Vitamins C and E act as synergistic antioxidants: Vitamin E protects lipid membranes from oxidation while Vitamin C regenerates spent Vitamin E. Niacinamide adds barrier support and interrupts melanosome transfer, creating a comprehensive approach to environmental protection and pigment correction.

Is Vivant Pure C + E suitable for menopausal skin concerns?

Yes. Estrogen loss during perimenopause and menopause leads to accelerated collagen breakdown, loss of skin density, and surface dullness. Pure C + E supports collagen production, improves visible firmness, and restores brightness to fatigued mature skin.

Can I use Vivant Pure C + E if I have oily or acne-prone skin?

Yes. Pure C + E features a lightweight liquid texture that absorbs completely without leaving an oily residue. The inclusion of Niacinamide helps balance sebum production while Lactic Acid keeps pores clear.
