Why customers choose Remedies Beauty

Chemist At Play Vitamin C Face Serum is a lightweight 10% ethyl ascorbic acid daily serum formulated to brighten, smooth texture, and support hydrated-looking skin.

This carefully balanced 30ml serum combines a stable form of Vitamin C with gentle exfoliation and hydration boosters to help even out skin tone and improve surface texture without heavy oils. Designed for everyday use under moisturizer and SPF, the formula blends antioxidant support with mild renewal ingredients that work together to refine the complexion while feeling weightless on the skin.

How does this serum brighten skin without irritation?

The serum uses 10% ethyl ascorbic acid, a stable vitamin C derivative that delivers antioxidant support while minimizing the sting sometimes associated with pure ascorbic acid. Lactic acid provides mild exfoliation to help reveal fresher skin, while acetyl glucosamine supports natural turnover for a more even appearance over time.

  • 10% ethyl ascorbic acid for stable, gradual brightening
  • 2–4% lactic acid level (formulated gently) to lift dead skin
  • Acetyl glucosamine to encourage cell renewal and reduce patchiness

Can this serum hydrate without feeling heavy?

Sodium hyaluronate in the formula attracts and locks in moisture, offering lightweight hydration that keeps skin supple without greasiness. The texture is fast-absorbing, so you can layer it under creams or makeup without pilling.

  • Sodium hyaluronate for multi-depth moisture retention
  • Thin, non-oily consistency suited to morning or evening use
  • Compatible with most moisturizers and sunscreen products

How should I add this serum to my daily routine?

Apply the serum to clean, dry skin once or twice a day depending on tolerance; follow with a hydrating moisturizer and SPF in the morning. If you use other active acids or retinoids, introduce the serum gradually to assess sensitivity and avoid over-exfoliation.

  • Use 1–2 drops to cover face and neck after cleansing
  • Follow with moisturizer; always apply SPF during daytime use
  • Patch-test and introduce slowly if you use strong actives

What results can I expect and when?

With consistent use, you may notice improved surface smoothness and a more unified tone as exfoliation and cellular support work together. Visible changes like reduced dullness and softer texture generally appear over several weeks; continued use helps maintain the effect.

  • Smoother skin texture within weeks of regular use
  • Gradual reduction in uneven tone and dullness over time
  • Lightweight daily antioxidant support to protect skin feel

Who is this for: Chemist At Play Vitamin C Face Serum is intended for anyone looking to brighten dull skin, refine texture, and add lightweight hydration to their daily skincare routine. It suits normal to combination skin and those new to vitamin C who want a stable, easy-to-layer formula; sensitive or active-treatment users should introduce it gradually and patch-test first.
