HORACE Vitamin C + Glycolic Acid Face Serum 30ml — Unscented Brightening Treatment for Dull, Uneven Skin

This targeted facial serum blends vitamin C with glycolic acid and botanical extracts to tackle uneven tone, surface texture and lackluster skin. Formulated with 95.5% naturally-derived ingredients, the 30ml pipette bottle fits into a simple daily routine and works on most skin types—oily, dry, combination and sensitive—without added fragrance, silicones or mineral oils. The texture absorbs quickly and is intended for use under moisturiser, morning or night.

How does this serum help brighten a fatigued complexion?

The combination of stable vitamin C and glycolic acid addresses surface dullness and helps reveal fresher-looking skin. Vitamin C supports brightness while glycolic acid gently exfoliates, smoothing texture so light reflects more evenly.

• Vitamin C: antioxidant-rich brightener to reduce uneven tone appearance.
• Glycolic acid: mild chemical exfoliant for smoother skin surface.
• White tea extract: softening antioxidant for a clearer look.
• Regular use: designed to show progressive improvement when used consistently.

Will this serum suit sensitive or combination skin?

HORACE prioritised a gentle, unscented formula that omits common irritants like silicones and mineral oils. While glycolic acid is an active that can cause temporary sensitivity for some, the overall formulation balances exfoliation with calming botanicals to minimise irritation.

• Unscented and vegan: reduces risk of fragrance-related reactions.
• Botanical support: white tea and ginseng flower help comfort skin.
• Patch test recommended: apply a small amount before regular use if you’re sensitive.
• Suitable for morning or night use depending on tolerance.

How do I use the serum for best results in my routine?

Apply 3 drops to clean, dry skin and gently massage until absorbed, then follow with your usual moisturiser and sunscreen in the morning. Consistency matters: use once or twice daily as tolerated and protect skin from sun exposure when using exfoliating acids.

• Step 1: Cleanse and dry your face.
• Step 2: Dispense 3 drops with the pipette and smooth over face and neck.
• Step 3: Seal with a moisturiser; apply sunscreen each morning.
• Tip: Start with night-only use if you have not used acids before.

What visible differences can I expect and when?

Results develop progressively; many users notice improved texture and a brighter cast to the skin with regular application. The formula supports radiance and more even-looking tone rather than instant corrective changes.

• Short term: smoother skin surface and immediate hydrated feel.
• 4–8 weeks: gradual improvement in brightness and tone with consistent use.
• Maintaining results: ongoing use plus sun protection helps preserve improvements.
• Not a medical treatment: designed for cosmetic brightening and texture refinement.

Who this is for: men seeking a simple, effective brightening step in their skincare who prefer unscented, naturally-derived formulations. It’s a strong option for anyone wanting to reduce the look of dullness and surface unevenness without extra fragrance, silicones or mineral oils—ideal for daily routines that prioritise clearer, more radiant skin with minimal fuss.
