ALASTIN Skincare Vitamin C Face Serum (1 oz) — Encapsulated Antioxidant, Hydrating Brightener

ALASTIN C-RADICAL Defense Face Serum is a daily, lightweight Vitamin C serum formulated to hydrate skin, defend against environmental free radicals, and promote a brighter, more refined complexion.

This serum blends a proprietary encapsulated form of Vitamin C (sodium ascorbate) with 14 supportive ingredients designed to protect skin from oxidative stress while helping maintain elastin and encouraging a smoother texture. Clinically tested and awarded industry honors, it targets early signs of aging—such as fine lines, uneven tone, and roughness—without heavy oils or sticky residues. Fast-absorbing and suitable for layering under moisturizers and SPF, C-RADICAL fits easily into morning and evening skincare routines.

How does this serum protect skin from environmental damage?

The serum uses an encapsulated sodium ascorbate form of Vitamin C that helps neutralize free radicals at the skin surface and within. Encapsulation supports ingredient stability and gradual delivery, improving potency over time while minimizing irritation common to some Vitamin C formulations.

• Proprietary encapsulated Vitamin C (sodium ascorbate) for antioxidant defense
• 14 complementary agents that support elastin preservation
• Designed to reduce oxidative stress caused by pollution and UV exposure

Will it help with fine lines, texture, and discoloration?

C-RADICAL is formulated to address multiple visible signs of aging by supporting collagen stimulation and refining surface texture. Regular use can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and uneven pigmentation while helping skin look more luminous.

• Helps diminish fine lines and the look of photodamage
• Refines texture and reduces visible redness and brown spots
• Promotes a more even, illuminated complexion with consistent application

How should I use the serum in my routine and what results can I expect?

Apply a few drops to clean, dry skin in the morning and/or evening before moisturizing. Because the formula is lightweight and non-greasy, it layers well under sunscreen and makeup. Visible improvements in brightness and texture are often reported within weeks, with cumulative benefits for elasticity and tone over continued use.

• Use 2–3 drops on face and neck after cleansing, before moisturizer
• Safe to combine with broad-spectrum SPF in daytime routines
• Consistent use recommended for progressive improvement in tone and texture

Is this serum suitable for sensitive or mature skin?

The encapsulated Vitamin C and supportive ingredient blend aim to deliver benefits while reducing the chance of irritation associated with some Vitamin C types. Those with very reactive skin should patch-test first and introduce the serum gradually, but many with mature or reactive complexions find it tolerable and effective.

• Encapsulation enhances gentle delivery of Vitamin C
• Non-heavy texture reduces pore-clogging risk for combination skin types
• Patch test recommended for highly sensitive skin before regular use
