How to use a serum
Apply onto face and neck. For optimal results, use AM and PM. For daytime, always follow with a broad spectrum sunscreen rated SPF 30 or greater.
The 25% Vitamin C + Glutathione Clinical Serum is for all skin types, skin tones and ages. It is best for those showing numerous, more stubborn signs of sun damage, including discolouration, a dull complexion and moderate loss of firmness.
The 25% Vitamin C + Glutathione Clinical Serum contains two vitamin C esters: 23% tetrahexyldecyl & ascorbate, and 2% ascorbyl glucoside. It’s best suited for those with advanced concerns of discolouration, uneven skin tone and lack of firmness. The C15 Super Booster contains 15% pure ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and is a great option for everyone who wants a daily dose of vitamin C to help fortify skin and improve minor skin discolouration or dullness. It can be used alone or mixed into your favourite serum or non-SPF moisturiser. Each product can be used on its own or in combination with one another (e.g., C15 during the day and 25% Vitamin C at night). Whether to use one or both will depend on your primary concerns and tolerance for these ingredients. We suggest experimenting to see what works best for your skin. As with all bio-active ingredients, start slowly and increase use as needed. Note: You may notice ascorbic acid listed at the bottom of the ingredient list for this product. The ascorbic acid is present in this formula in incidental amounts. As such, it does not have a brightening or antioxidant benefit to the skin. Instead, it's part of the ascorbyl glucoside blend, used to help keep it stable and in the ideal pH range prior to being added to a cosmetic formula.
The 25% Vitamin C + Glutathione Clinical Serum contains 23% tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate and 2% ascorbyl glucoside, plus glutathione, GAP Technology and ergothioneine. This serum is great for targeting uneven tone, discolouration and loss of firmness. The CLINICAL Discoloration Repair Serum contains 3% tranexamic acid, 5% niacinamide and 0.5% bakuchiol which is ideal for targeting stubborn discolouration and is even suitable for those with melasma-prone skin. It’s also more soothing, which can reduce signs of redness. It is perfectly fine — and in some cases may be advisable — to layer both products as part of your strategy to fade various types of hyperpigmentation, including post-breakout marks.
Yes. In fact, you will see enhanced results and not have to worry about irritation since the forms of vitamin C in the 25% Vitamin C + Glutathione Clinical Serum do not have the same low pH requirements as pure ascorbic acid. Meaning you’ll get better free radical protection, better environmental defence and enhanced improvement in discolouration, wrinkles and loss of firmness. We recommend starting slow with multiple bio-active products to see how your skin responds and increasing use over time as needed.
Yes, research has shown that vitamin C works well and can be used with other beneficial ingredients including niacinamide, retinol, peptides (except copper peptides, which Paula’s Choice does not use) and exfoliating acids.
Yes, when used with our CLEAR collection, the soothing benefits of vitamin C and key antioxidants in this serum can help to reduce some of the inflammation that drives acne. These ingredients can also help to fade post-breakout marks of any colour.
This may vary from person to person due to the amount of vitamin C in the formula which may prove too potent. We suggest patch testing this product on a small area to see how your skin responds. Vitamin C's soothing action on the skin can be helpful for rosacea, as can the anti-redness benefits of glutathione and ergothioneine. If you've experienced sensitisation to higher amounts of vitamin C, we recommend you consider our C5 Super Booster Moisturizer which contains 5% vitamin C.
The ingredients in the 25% Vitamin C + Glutathione Clinical Serum are generally considered safe to use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. However, if you’re uncertain about starting a new anti-ageing product or a combination of ingredients, check with your physician and follow their advice.
