Acure Vitamin C & Ferulic Acid Serum 2% — 1 fl oz Brightening Antioxidant Serum, Vegan Cruelty-Free

Acure Brightening 2% Vitamin C & Ferulic Acid Serum is a lightweight antioxidant serum formulated to brighten dull skin, help reduce the appearance of dark spots, and promote a more even, luminous complexion.

This concentrated 1 fl oz serum blends stabilized vitamin C with ferulic acid and fruit-derived extracts to deliver antioxidant support and visible radiance without heavy oils or irritating additives. The formula is vegan, cruelty-free, and free from parabens, sulfates, mineral oil, and petrolatum, designed to layer easily under moisturizers and sunscreens for daily use.

How does this vitamin C serum brighten skin?

The serum pairs 2% vitamin C with ferulic acid to help protect skin from oxidative stress while encouraging a more even tone. Regular use can help minimize the look of uneven pigmentation and add noticeable glow without harsh exfoliation.

• 2% stabilized vitamin C targets dullness and discoloration.
• Ferulic acid boosts antioxidant potency and stability.
• Pineapple extract provides gentle enzymatic support for softer texture.
• Lightweight, non-greasy base suitable for layering under SPF.

Will this serum work with sensitive or acne-prone skin?

The formulation avoids common irritants like parabens, sulfates, and heavy oils, making it a gentle option for many skin types. If your skin is very reactive, patch-testing is recommended before full-face application to ensure tolerance.

• Free from parabens, sulfates, mineral oil, and petrolatum.
• Non-comedogenic texture that won’t overly clog pores.
• Suitable for dry, oily, combination, and sensitive skin when introduced gradually.

How and when should I use this serum in my skincare routine?

Apply a few drops to cleansed, dry skin once or twice daily—morning use should be followed by SPF to protect results. Gently press the serum into face and neck, then follow with moisturizer and sunscreen during daytime.

• Use after cleansing and toning, before heavier creams or oils.
• Morning application: always pair with broad-spectrum sunscreen.
• Evening application: layer under your regular night moisturizer.
• Start with every other day if introducing new actives to sensitive skin.

What makes this serum a clean and cruelty-free choice?

• Vegan formula with plant-sourced actives and fruit extracts.
• Cruelty-free: no animal testing in development or production.
• Contains no parabens, sulfates, mineral oil, or petrolatum.

For particularly sensitive or reactive skin, introduce the product gradually and consult a dermatologist if you have specific concerns.
