StriVectin Super-C Retinol Brighten & Correct Vitamin C Serum, 1 oz — Brightens, Smooths, Firms

StriVectin Super-C Retinol Brighten & Correct is a lightweight antioxidant serum that combines stabilized Vitamin C and a non-irritating Retinol to visibly brighten uneven tone, improve texture, and support firmer-looking skin.

This innovative one-ounce serum brings two historically separated actives—Vitamin C and Retinol—together in a fast-absorbing formula designed for daily use. Formulated with stabilized antioxidants, a skin-friendly form of Retinol, and StriVectin's signature Niacin-based technology (NIA-114), the serum targets discoloration, fine lines, and rough texture without a sticky finish. Clinical and consumer evaluations report measurable improvements in brightness and firmness, and the product is also tested for delicate zones like the neck, décolleté and the backs of hands.

How quickly will I notice brighter, more even skin?

Visible improvements in brightness and tone have been reported in early clinical assessments, with most subjects showing results within several weeks. Individual response times vary with skin type and frequency of use, but consistent application typically accelerates visible changes.

• Clinical testing showed brightness improvements at around six weeks on average.
• Daily morning or evening use increases cumulative antioxidant and retinoid benefits.
• Complement with sunscreen during daytime to protect results.

Can I use this serum on areas beyond the face, like the neck and hands?

Yes—this serum was evaluated on commonly exposed areas and designed to be gentle enough for delicate skin zones. The antioxidant and correcting blend helps address sun-related discoloration and textural changes wherever you apply it.

• Clinically tested on neck, décolleté, and backs of hands for improvement in texture and sun damage.
• Lightweight texture absorbs quickly without leaving residue on décolleté or hands.
• Apply sparingly to thin or fragile skin and monitor sensitivity if you’re new to retinoids.

How do Vitamin C, Retinol, and NIA-114 work together in this formula?

Each component contributes a complementary action: Vitamin C provides antioxidant brightening, Retinol supports surface renewal and texture refinement, and NIA-114 helps maintain barrier strength for improved tolerance. The formulation balances potency with skin-friendly delivery to maximize benefit while minimizing irritation risk.

• Stabilized Vitamin C and acerola cherry concentrate deliver brightening antioxidants.
• Non-irritating Retinol helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and uneven texture.
• NIA-114 (a Niacin-based technology) fortifies the skin barrier to support tolerance and long-term results.

How should I incorporate this serum into my skincare routine?

Use the serum once daily—morning or evening—after cleansing and before moisturizing. If you use other active treatments, introduce this product gradually and consider alternating nights with other retinoids until you know your skin’s tolerance.

• Apply a few drops to clean, dry skin; follow with moisturizer and SPF in the morning.
• Start with every-other-night use if you are new to retinol, then increase frequency as tolerated.
• Avoid combining with other strong exfoliating acids at first to reduce irritation risk.

Who is this for: StriVectin Super-C Retinol Brighten & Correct serum is intended for people seeking a multi-tasking, science-forward solution for uneven tone, early-to-moderate signs of aging, and rough texture. It’s suitable for those who want a single serum that addresses brightness, firmness, and texture on face and commonly exposed areas like neck and hands. If you have very sensitive skin or are using prescription retinoids, patch-test first and consult a dermatologist before starting.
