Glowmedik Brightening Vitamin C Serum 1 fl oz — 5% Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Fragrance-Free for Dark Spots & Sensitive Skin

Glowmedik Brightening Vitamin C Serum is a lightweight, fragrance-free daily serum that targets dark spots, post-acne marks, and uneven tone using a stabilized 5% Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate formula.

This serum blends stabilized vitamin C with moisturizing and calming botanicals to deliver gradual brightening without the sting common to strong L-ascorbic acid products. Designed for AM and PM use, the formula focuses on improving visible discoloration while supporting the skin barrier with soothing ingredients. It's vegan, cruelty-free, made in the USA, and comes in 30 ml and 60 ml sizes.

How does this serum reduce dark spots and uneven tone?

The core brightening ingredient is 5% Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (SAP), a stable vitamin C derivative that helps even skin tone by acting on pigmentation pathways. SAP is less irritating than pure L-ascorbic acid, making it suitable for sensitive or redness-prone skin when used consistently.

• 5% SAP for sustained brightening activity.
• Supports reduction of post-acne marks, sun spots, and age-related discoloration.
• Combined with Vitamin E and MSM to help with ingredient absorption.

Will this serum irritate sensitive or reactive skin?

The formula avoids common irritants—it's fragrance-free and excludes parabens, sulfates, and phthalates. Soothing actives like Aloe Vera, Centella Asiatica, and Jojoba Oil help calm redness and protect the skin barrier during daily use.

• Fragrance-free to reduce irritation risk.
• Aloe Vera and Centella to soothe visible redness.
• Lightweight texture that absorbs quickly under moisturizer or SPF.

How should I incorporate this into my skincare routine?

Use a few drops in the morning and/or evening after cleansing and before moisturizer. In the morning, follow with a broad-spectrum SPF for best results; at night, pair with your usual hydrating treatments. Start with once daily if you have very reactive skin, then increase to twice daily as tolerated.

• Apply 2–4 drops to cleansed skin, patting gently until absorbed.
• Layer sunscreen over the serum during daytime use.
• Safe to use under makeup and moisturizer due to fast-absorbing texture.

What other active ingredients support the vitamin C in this serum?

Glowmedik combines SAP with supportive hydrators and botanical extracts to maximize brightening while maintaining skin comfort. Hyaluronic Acid and botanical variants of hyaluronic help retain moisture, while plant extracts contribute antioxidant and clarifying benefits.

• Botanical Hyaluronic Acid for hydration and plumping.
• Vitamin E and MSM for stability and improved penetration.
• Dandelion root and horsetail extract to complement brightening effects.

Who this is for: This serum suits anyone aiming to fade dark spots, post-acne marks, or patchy discoloration who prefers a gentler vitamin C alternative. It's particularly fitting for people with sensitive or reactive skin who want a fragrance-free, fast-absorbing brightening step they can use under SPF and makeup. Choose the 30 ml for trial or travel and the 60 ml for regular daily use.
