Who is it for?

how to use it?

Apply a few drops to the face after cleansing, before using other serums and/or creams. Ideal to use in the AM but can be applied PM as well. As the C-Glow formula is water-like, we recommend that you put a drop directly onto your face and quickly pat it on with your other hand.

Shelf life: 4 - 6 months from production (unopened), 3 months PAO (period after opening) - but as C-Glow is on the market now for more than 2 years, we can say from experience that stored in the fridge unopened it keeps fresh for longer.

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid – 15%) –A clinically proven active that gives the skin environmental protection (antioxidant), boosts collagen production and fades hyperpigmentation. Also gives an instant glow to the skin.

Ferulic acid + Vitamin E – Antioxidants that help to stabilize Vitamin C and increase its antioxidant power. The formula contains high amount of Ferulic Acid, and a smaller amount of vitamin E.
