DERMAdoctor Vitamin C Serum for Face 20% — Brightening Antioxidant with Ferulic Acid & Vitamin E, 1 fl oz

DERMAdoctor Vitamin C Serum is a fast-absorbing, dermatologist-formulated 20% vitamin C serum designed to brighten skin, support elasticity, and reduce the appearance of discoloration.

This concentrated facial serum combines stabilized ascorbic acid with vitamin E, ferulic acid, and Kakadu plum extract to deliver a potent antioxidant blend that layers easily under sunscreen or makeup. The lightweight texture sinks in quickly without clogging pores and is created to target uneven tone, surface dullness, and loss of firmness—helping skin look smoother and more luminous when used consistently as part of a daily skincare routine.

How does this serum improve skin brightness and tone?

The 20% stabilized vitamin C works alongside ferulic acid and vitamin E to neutralize free radicals at the skin surface and support a more even-looking complexion. Kakadu plum adds an extra antioxidant boost, helping to enhance radiance and counteract dullness from daily environmental stressors.

• High-strength 20% ascorbic acid for visible brightening effects
• Ferulic acid stabilizes and amplifies antioxidant performance
• Kakadu plum supports tone improvement with natural antioxidants

Will this serum help with dark spots and sun-induced discoloration?

This formula is intended to help correct the appearance of uneven pigmentation by promoting a clearer, more uniform tone over time with regular application. While results vary by individual, consistent use can diminish the look of surface dark spots and improve overall clarity.

• Targets surface discoloration and dull patches
• Supports brighter, more uniform skin tone with ongoing use
• Pairs well with daily SPF to protect improvements

Is the texture suitable for layering with other products and makeup?

The serum is formulated to absorb rapidly into the skin, leaving a non-greasy finish that sits well beneath moisturizers, sunscreen, or foundation. Its light consistency allows for easy layering in both morning and evening routines.

• Fast-absorbing, non-comedogenic texture
• Compatible with moisturizers and daily SPF
• Leaves minimal residue so makeup applies smoothly

Is this product appropriate for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

DERMAdoctor designed this vitamin C serum without parabens, dyes, or synthetic fragrances and labels it hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic. Those with reactive skin should patch-test first and introduce the serum gradually to assess tolerance.

• Cleansing formula free from parabens and synthetic fragrances
• Hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic for fewer clogging risks
• Patch test recommended for very sensitive skin types

Who is this for: This serum suits anyone looking to brighten dull skin, reduce the look of surface discoloration, or support firmer-looking texture without heavy, greasy feel. It is well suited for normal, combination, and oily skin types, and for users who want a potent antioxidant boost under sunscreen or makeup. If you have extreme sensitivity to active vitamin C, start slowly and consult a skincare professional if you have concerns.
