Neutrogena Vitamin C Serum 15% Collagen Bank — Fragrance-Free Face & Neck Serum with Micro-Peptides, 0.5 fl oz

Neutrogena Collagen Bank 15% Vitamin C Serum is a fragrance-free, fast-absorbing brightening serum designed to support collagen and visibly even skin tone for face and neck.

This serum combines 15% pure vitamin C with patented micro-peptide technology and 2% PHA to reach deeper skin layers, promote radiance, and help skin look plumper and more even. It’s formulated to layer under makeup, is non-comedogenic, and is free from dyes, parabens, sulfates, phthalates, and fragrance. Use it as part of a daily routine—apply after cleansing and follow with broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day.

How does this serum help with uneven skin tone?

The concentrated 15% vitamin C targets discoloration and dullness to promote a brighter, more uniform complexion. Vitamin C is a well-known antioxidant that helps reduce the visible appearance of dark spots when used consistently.

• High potency 15% pure vitamin C for brightening
• Lightweight liquid texture absorbs quickly into skin
• Designed to visibly reduce uneven tone with regular use

What makes the micro-peptide technology different?

Patented micro-peptides in this formula are engineered smaller than typical peptides, allowing improved delivery into the skin’s surface layers. This supports the skin’s existing collagen network and complements the brightening action of vitamin C.

• Micro-peptides penetrate more surface layers for optimized delivery
• Supports visible plumping and texture improvement
• Pairs with vitamin C to enhance overall skin appearance

Is this gentle enough for daily use and under makeup?

Yes — the formula includes 2% PHA, a gentle exfoliant and hydrator, to refresh skin without sharp irritation. It’s allergy-tested, dermatologist-tested, and non-comedogenic, so it layers well under makeup and moisturizer.

• Contains 2% PHA for mild exfoliation and hydration
• Free of fragrance, dyes, parabens, sulfates, and phthalates
• Suitable for daily morning or evening application (use sunscreen in daytime)

How should I use this serum for best results?

Apply a few drops to clean, dry skin on face and neck, avoiding the eye area. Follow with a moisturizer and daytime SPF; for enhanced results, pair with Collagen Bank SPF moisturizer as part of a daily regimen.

• Use after cleansing and before moisturizer
• Avoid direct contact with the delicate eye area
• Combine with daily broad-spectrum sunscreen in the morning

Who is this for: This Neutrogena serum is built for anyone seeking a fragrance-free, high-potency vitamin C treatment that layers easily under makeup and supports a plumper, more even complexion. It’s a good fit for people wanting dermatologist-tested, non-comedogenic products and those who prefer formulas without common irritants. Ideal as part of a pre-aging or daily brightening routine, pair it with other Neutrogena Collagen Bank products for a coordinated regimen.
