About BRIGHTEN Vitamin C Serum 20%
Elixalife BRIGHTEN Vitamin C Serum 20% contains 20% vitamin C and is stabilised with vitamin E to boost luminosity and fight the visible signs of ageing. Together they deliver superior antioxidant protection against environmental damage while visibly smoothing, brightening and refining the skin's texture.
Regular use will result in brighter skin, a more even skin tone, smoother texture and a visible reduction of fine lines and wrinkles.
For a topical vitamin C formulation to work, it must remain stable to have a biological effect on the skin. BRIGHTEN is stabilised with vitamin E, and these powerful antioxidants work together to ensure every last drop is active. As a further safeguard, the formula deliberately contains no water, so you activate the vitamin C as you apply it with wet fingertips. Ideal if you want to target pigmentation and give your skin an anti-ageing boost.
Hero ingredients
What each key ingredient in BRIGHTEN does.
Ascorbic acid (vitamin C)
Helps the skin defend itself from external stressors like smoke and pollution. It has proven antioxidant properties and is capable of dramatically brightening and balancing skin tone.
Grapeseed oil
Protects against free radicals, moisturises and balances the skin, and is soothing and anti-inflammatory. Helps reduce the look of wrinkles and scars.
Macadamia oil and vitamin E
An easily absorbed, hydrating oil with anti-ageing properties. It soothes the skin and helps to fade scars.
Evening primrose oil
Softens the skin and supplies it with essential nutrients and healthy fats, so it looks plumped and youthful. Exceptionally useful for calming inflammation and helping reduce breakouts.
