GEEK & GORGEOUS - C-Glow 30ml
€12.50
Tax included
A super-light, water-like 15% Vitamin C + extra antioxidants (Ferulic Acid & smaller amount of Vitamin E) formula to give the skin environmental protection, boost collagen and even the skin tone.
Made fresh on order, every week (orders with C-Glow might get shipped a few days late). We recommend storing it in the fridge.
Pure Vitamin C (or Ascorbic Acid) is a 3-in-1, clinically proven superstar that gives the skin environmental protection (antioxidant), boosts the skin's own collagen production and fades hyperpigmentation. This water-light formula contains 15% Vitamin C & extra antioxidants to give a healthy glow, even and firm the skin.
The disadvantage of pure Vitamin C is that it is super unstable, and hard to formulate with. This formula uses a low pH and extra antioxidants to help to stabilize Vitamin C, but even like this, C-Glow comes only with a couple of months shelf-life.
To ensure maximum freshness, we create C-Glow in small batches once a week (on average, by the time a C-Glow reaches our customers it is about 2-3 weeks old, and we store C-Glow in the fridge in all of our warehouses). We also recommend you to store it in the fridge, where it keeps fresh at least for 6 months (if unopened it keeps for a couple of months more), while it keeps about 6 weeks at room temperature. If going to the fridge every day for your C-Glow does not sound comfortable, we recommend to use this 10 ml mini bottle. You can easily decant 5-10 days worth of C-Glow into it, and store the mini bottle in the bathroom, while having the C-Glow bottle in the fridge. Click here for the C-Glow mini bottle.

Who is it for?
Everyone looking for a light-textured, pure Vitamin C + extra antioxidants formula. However, if you have sensitive, redness-prone skin, we do not recommend C-Glow due to its low pH and high pure acid content.
Skin Type
all skin types except for sensitive
Skin Problem
dark spots, aging, dull and uneven skin
Texture
fast absorbing, water-like, weightless liquid
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.
