This featherweight face serum contains a potent and long-lasting form of vitamin C that brightens and smooths skin’s tone and appearance, while providing instant hydration.

WHY IT'S SPECIAL:

• Lightens + brightens
  If you’ve soaked up a little too much sun over the years, it might be time for a Vitamin C serum. Ours includes a concentrated form of Vitamin C, along other powerhouse natural actives that brighten dull-looking skin and lighten stubborn dark spots.
• Balances tone + texture
  Active ingredients like Aspen Bark (a natural source of BHA) add a conditioning and gently renewing effect, while Aloe and Rose soothe skin and reduce redness. You’ll start to notice smooth, even, and all-around radiant skin.
• Effective to the last drop
  Not all Vitamin C serums are created equal. In fact, most lose their potency by the time they get to your shelf. Ours features a highly stable form of Vitamin C, to ensure peak freshness and potency over time.
• A step you’ll never skip
  Its silky, featherweight texture (and heavenly scent) makes it easy to work into your routine. Add it as a hydrating layer under SPF in the morning, beneath your heavier moisturizer at night, or both. Whatever works best for your skin.

FAQs:

1. Is Vitamin C a good serum for me? Good question! It is totally up to your own skincare goals and routine preferences. Brighten Up Vitamin C Serum is Ursa Major's lightweight and layerable brightening treatment, designed to target hyperpigmentation, even out skin tone, and give dull skin that extra boost of radiance. If you opt for additional serums, our recommendation would be to use Vitamin C in the morning and apply your other serums at night.
2. How and when do I use this product? For best brightening results and combating of free radical damage, apply this serum to clean, dry skin before moisturizing.
3. Is this product suitable for sensitive skin? Because Ursa Major decided to go just slightly below the maximum ingredient dosage, this Vitamin C Serum retains all the power without risking unnecessary irritation. Of course, as with any product, if you have extra-sensitive skin, we might recommend doing a patch test to check before applying to the full face. Unlike other Vitamin C serums, Brighten Up Vitamin C does not cause photo-senstivity, but we absolutely encourage pairing with an SPF before heading outdoors!
4. What is the percentage / concentration of Vitamin C? Ursa Major formulated this Vitamin C Serum with ascorbic acid polypeptide, a version of Vitamin C that retains its potency far longer than traditional formulas. It's in there at a concentration of 1.5% (the maximum dose for this ingredient is 2.0%). They decided to go just slightly below that maximum to avoid any unnecessary irritation without sacrificing efficacy.
5. Is there any chance of oxidation? Ursa Major has conducted rigorous testing of this product efficiency and ingredient stability prior to launch to ensure that your serum is totally fresh when it reaches your hand. This serum is protected against any potential degradation thanks to special UV-coated glass packaging. They also chose a stabilized version of Vitamin C (ascorbic acid/orange/citrus limon/citrus aurantifolia polypeptide) and added additional antioxidants like rosemary extract to further delay oxidation.
