RODAN + FIELDS Pure C Serum vitamin C 10% Ascorbic Acid — Water-Free, Lightweight Radiance

Rodan + Fields Pure C Serum is a water-free, lightweight vitamin C serum containing 10% ascorbic acid formulated to help improve the look of skin texture and boost radiance when used as part of a daily routine.

This serum combines a stable, oil- and water-free base with a concentrated dose of vitamin C and a ginger-derived antioxidant to deliver antioxidant support and a refreshed appearance. Designed for everyday use morning or night, the formula aims to refine visible skin texture, help even skin tone, and provide environmental-defense ingredients while remaining non-comedogenic and gentle on sensitive skin.

How does Pure C Serum help improve skin texture and radiance?

The 10% ascorbic acid concentration targets dullness and uneven texture by supporting surface-level renewal and enhancing the skin’s visible brightness. Because the formula is water-free and stabilized, it helps keep vitamin C potent so the ingredient can act effectively on application.

• 10% L-ascorbic acid for antioxidant support
• Water-free base preserves ingredient stability
• Lightweight, fast-absorbing serum for layering under moisturizers

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

Pure C Serum is formulated to be non-comedogenic and suitable for sensitive skin types, minimizing pore-clogging ingredients. Its gentle delivery system allows many users to incorporate vitamin C without heavy oils or fillers, but patch testing is recommended for very reactive skin.

• Non-comedogenic, oil-free formulation
• Light texture reduces likelihood of congestion
• Patch test before full-face use if prone to irritation

How should I use Pure C Serum in my daily skincare routine?

Apply the serum to clean, dry skin once or twice daily depending on tolerance and your routine—morning use pairs well with sunscreen. Follow with a moisturizer and SPF during the day; at night it layers under treatment creams or oils without feeling heavy.

• Use AM and/or PM after cleansing and toning
• Allow to absorb before applying moisturizer or sunscreen
• Start with every-other-day application if new to vitamin C

What makes the formula stable and effective compared to other vitamin C products?

The water-free, oil-free formulation reduces degradation pathways common in aqueous vitamin C serums, helping preserve potency. Additionally, the inclusion of a ginger-derived antioxidant supports defensive benefits against everyday environmental stressors while maintaining a clean ingredient profile.

• Water-free system helps maintain ascorbic acid stability
• Ginger-derived antioxidant for complementary support
• Compact formula avoids unnecessary fillers for efficient absorption

Who this is for: Rodan + Fields Pure C Serum is aimed at anyone seeking a stable, lightweight vitamin C treatment to help refine visible texture and boost radiance without heavy oils or fillers. It suits people with normal, combination, oily, or sensitive skin who want a daily antioxidant step that layers well under moisturizers and sunscreen. If you are new to topical vitamin C, begin gradually and monitor tolerance; those with highly reactive conditions should consult a skincare professional before starting any active-packed serum.
