Farmacy Vitamin C Face Serum 10% L‑Ascorbic Acid (30ml) — Brightening, Oil‑Free Hydration

Farmacy 10% Vitamin C Serum is a waterless L‑ascorbic acid facial serum designed to brighten skin, even tone, and smooth texture while delivering hydration without a greasy finish.

This lightweight, oil‑free serum pairs 10% stabilized L‑ascorbic acid with supportive actives like ferulic acid, 1% alpha‑arbutin, tangerine peel extract and sugar beet–derived betaine to maximize pigment‑correction and moisture. The waterless formulation helps preserve vitamin C strength and boosts penetration, while a silky feel makes it suitable for layering under moisturizers and sunscreen.

How does this vitamin C serum brighten and even skin tone?

The formula uses pure L‑ascorbic acid, a direct form of vitamin C, combined with alpha‑arbutin and ferulic acid to help target visible dark spots and promote a more uniform complexion. The waterless vehicle stabilizes L‑ascorbic acid so it remains active longer for daily use.

• 10% L‑ascorbic acid for antioxidant brightening
• 1% alpha‑arbutin supports reduction of uneven pigmentation
• Ferulic acid enhances antioxidant performance
• Waterless technology preserves potency and improves absorption

Will this serum feel heavy or leave a sticky residue?

No—the serum is formulated to be silky and oil‑free, absorbing quickly without tackiness. It layers well under daytime SPF and evening moisturizers, making it easy to integrate into both AM and PM routines.

• Silky, non‑oily texture that sinks in fast
• Leaves skin prepped for moisturizer and sunscreen
• Suitable for layering with other actives when introduced gradually

How should I use it safely and effectively in my routine?

Apply a few drops to clean skin morning and/or night, then follow with a moisturizer; if used during the day, finish with a broad‑spectrum SPF. Start every few days if you have sensitive skin, building to daily use to assess tolerance for vitamin C and alpha‑arbutin.

• Use on cleansed face and neck, morning and/or night
• Follow with moisturizer; always apply SPF in daytime
• Introduce gradually for sensitive skin to monitor tolerance

What other ingredients support hydration and texture improvement?

Beyond vitamin C and arbutin, the serum includes upcycled tangerine peel extract and betaine from sugar beet to help hydrate and calm skin while supporting a smoother surface. These botanical and humectant components work with the active antioxidants to create a balanced finish.

• Tangerine peel extract for antioxidant support and a fresh scent
• Betaine (from sugar beet) to attract and retain moisture
• Oil‑free base to maintain a light, non‑greasy feel

Who is this for: This Farmacy 10% Vitamin C Serum suits anyone wanting a stable, potent vitamin C treatment in a lightweight, daily‑wear formula. It works well for those aiming to improve dullness, uneven tone, and surface texture while preferring an oil‑free, fast‑absorbing product. If you have very sensitive or reactive skin, introduce gradually and patch test; otherwise, it integrates smoothly into most skincare routines as a brightening and hydrating step.
