Daily Antioxidant Support: Vitamins C and E help neutralize free radicals associated with environmental oxidative stress.
Brightens Dull Skin: Helps improve the appearance of uneven tone and restore a more radiant-looking complexion.
Improves the Appearance of Dark Spots: Vitamin C and niacinamide support a more uniform-looking skin tone.
Supports Collagen Production: Ascorbic acid is essential to normal collagen synthesis, supporting skin's structural integrity.
Improves Visible Firmness: Helps improve the appearance of skin elasticity and early signs of photoaging.
Supports Skin Barrier Function: Vitamin E, niacinamide, and moisturizing ingredients help maintain skin comfort and resilience.
Refines Uneven Texture: Lactic and citric acids contribute mild exfoliating and skin-conditioning properties.
Complements Sunscreen: Provides antioxidant support alongside daily broad-spectrum sun protection.
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.
Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C): A biologically active form of vitamin C that provides antioxidant support, participates in collagen synthesis, and helps improve the appearance of uneven pigmentation and dullness.
Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E): An oil-soluble vitamin E derivative that provides skin-conditioning and antioxidant benefits, helping support the skin against visible environmental stress.
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): Helps support skin barrier function, improve the appearance of uneven pigmentation, and maintain a smoother-looking complexion.
Citric Acid: An alpha hydroxy acid that helps regulate formulation pH and may contribute mild skin-refining properties.
Lactic Acid: An alpha hydroxy acid with exfoliating and humectant properties that helps maintain a softer, smoother skin surface.
Urea: A moisture-binding ingredient that helps soften rough skin and support hydration.
Sodium PCA & Sodium Lactate: Components associated with the skin's natural moisturizing factor that help attract and retain water.
Glycine, Fructose & Inositol: Skin-conditioning ingredients that complement the formula's moisturizing components.
