StriVectin Vitamin C Retinol Brighten & Correct Face Serum, 1.7 oz — Brightens & Firms

StriVectin Super-C Retinol Brighten & Correct Serum combines stabilized Vitamin C, non-irritating Retinol, and NIA-114™ in one lightweight formula to visibly brighten uneven tone, smooth texture, and help restore firmness.

This serum is a laboratory-formulated blend designed to deliver two proven actives—Vitamin C and Retinol—together without compromising stability or tolerability. By pairing two forms of stabilized Vitamin C and acerola cherry extract with a gentle Retinol derivative and StriVectin’s proprietary Niacin complex (NIA-114™), the formula targets dullness, dark spots, fine lines, and rough texture while supporting the skin barrier. Fast-absorbing and non-tacky, it’s intended for facial use and for delicate areas like neck, décolleté, and the back of the hands.

How does this serum brighten and reduce dark spots?

Stabilized forms of Vitamin C and acerola cherry extract work together to lessen the appearance of discoloration and to promote an even-looking complexion. Antioxidant activity helps counter visible damage from environmental stressors that can contribute to dull tone.

• Two stabilized forms of Vitamin C for sustained brightening effect
• Acerola cherry extract as a concentrated natural source of Vitamin C
• Fast absorption ensures active ingredients reach surface layers efficiently
• Clinical grading showed most users experienced improved skin brightness

In what way does Retinol in this formula help with texture and fine lines?

The formula uses a non-irritating Retinol derivative calibrated for effectiveness and tolerability, aiming to refine skin texture and reduce the visible look of fine lines and pores. It’s combined with barrier-supporting Niacin to minimize potential sensitivity associated with retinoids.

• Retinol derivative targets rough texture and the appearance of fine lines
• NIA-114™ strengthens the lipid barrier and supports resilience
• Balanced concentrations designed for everyday use with proper skin-care pairing
• Instrumental testing showed measured firmness improvements in clinical subjects

Can I use this serum on areas beyond the face?

Yes—this product was clinically evaluated on sensitive, sun-exposed zones such as the neck, décolleté, and the backs of hands. The lightweight texture makes it practical for broader application where signs of aging are visible.

• Clinically tested on neck, décolleté, and hands with positive results
• Non-tacky, fast-absorbing texture for easy layering under moisturizer
• Suitable for targeted touch-ups where sun damage and texture issues appear
• Apply consistent small doses to delicate skin to build tolerance

How should I include this serum in my routine for best results?

Introduce the serum gradually—start every other evening or as tolerated—and pair with SPF during daytime to protect results. Use a gentle cleanser and a hydrating moisturizer to support the barrier while active ingredients work to improve tone and texture.

• Begin with a small amount and increase frequency as tolerated
• Follow with a moisturizer containing ceramides or humectants
• Always apply sunscreen during the day when using Retinol and Vitamin C
• Consistent use over weeks supports measurable improvements
