VICHY Vitamin C Serum — 16% Pure Vitamin C + Hyaluronic Acid, Brightening & Firming Serum

VICHY LiftActiv Vitamin C Serum is a lightweight antioxidant serum with 16% pure vitamin C, hyaluronic acid and vitamin E designed to brighten skin, reduce the look of fine lines and protect against environmental discoloration.

This concentrated formula combines a high-strength dose of pure vitamin C with hydrating hyaluronic acid, antioxidant vitamin E, carnosine and Vichy Volcanic Water to visibly improve radiance and skin texture. Clinically tested ingredients work together to even tone, plump the skin and bolster the skin’s barrier while avoiding drying alcohols, fragrance, parabens, oils and silicones.

How quickly will I see brighter, more even skin?

Many users notice improved radiance within days and measurable smoothing in as little as two weeks; continued use strengthens results over months. Results vary by skin type and routine but the high 16% vitamin C concentration targets dullness and discoloration effectively when used consistently.

• Clinically observed radiance increase within 10–14 days for many users
• Smoother texture and reduced appearance of fine lines after about 14 days
• More pronounced evening of skin tone with daily morning application and sunscreen

Can I use this serum with my other skincare products?

Yes—this serum integrates well into most morning routines. Apply 3–5 drops to clean, dry face, neck and décolletage, follow with a moisturizer and finish with broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect results during the day.

• Works with hyaluronic acid creams and lightweight moisturizers for added hydration
• Safe to layer under sunscreen—essential after vitamin C use in the morning
• Avoid mixing with strong acids or retinoids in the same application to minimize sensitivity

Is this serum suitable for sensitive or combination skin?

VICHY’s formula is allergy-tested and excludes fragrance, drying alcohols and common irritants, making it suitable for many sensitive skin types. Start with a small amount or alternate days if you have reactive skin, then increase frequency as tolerated.

• Fragrance-free and formulated without parabens, oils or silicones
• Contains soothing Vichy Volcanic Water to support the skin barrier
• Allergy tested and designed to minimize irritation when used as directed

How do the active ingredients work together to protect and firm skin?

Each active targets a specific concern: pure vitamin C brightens and defends against free radicals, hyaluronic acid draws in moisture to plump fine lines, vitamin E boosts antioxidant protection, and carnosine helps limit glycation-related aging. Vichy Volcanic Water adds trace minerals to reinforce barrier resilience.

• 16% pure vitamin C: antioxidant brightening and discoloration defense
• Hyaluronic acid: hydration and instant plumping for smoother texture
• Vitamin E and carnosine: complementary antioxidant and anti-glycation support
• Vichy Volcanic Water: mineral-rich support for barrier health

Who is this for? VICHY LiftActiv Vitamin C Serum suits anyone seeking a potent, dermatologist-tested brightening serum that also hydrates and defends against environmental stressors. It’s a strong choice for people wanting to reduce dullness, even skin tone and plump fine lines without fragrance or heavy oils. If you have highly reactive skin, patch-test and start gradually; otherwise, incorporate it into your morning routine followed by sunscreen for best results.
