Stratia C+C Vitamin C Serum — 1 fl oz, 15% Total Vitamin C (10% L‑Ascorbic) Water‑Free Lightweight Antioxidant Cream

Formulated without added water, this concentrated cream combines L‑ascorbic acid with oil‑soluble ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate, CoQ10, and supportive emollients in a thin silicone base that slips on smoothly and dissipates quickly, leaving active antioxidants behind. The product aims to provide daily antioxidant protection and evening of skin tone while minimizing stickiness and irritation common to some vitamin C treatments.

How does this serum deliver stable, high‑strength vitamin C?

By pairing water‑soluble L‑ascorbic acid (10%) with an oil‑soluble vitamin C derivative, the formula balances potency and skin compatibility. The water‑free carrier reduces degradation pathways, helping the actives remain effective during wear.

• 10% L‑ascorbic acid for direct antioxidant activity
• Ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate for oil‑soluble brightening support
• Water‑free, fast‑evaporating silicone base to stabilize ingredients
• Compact 1 fl oz tube for daily use and travel

Will this irritate sensitive or reactive skin?

Stratia C+C is designed to be less irritating than some high‑strength vitamin C liquids thanks to its water‑free formula and balanced blend of antioxidants. However, individual tolerance varies; patch testing and gradual introduction are recommended.

• Feather‑light texture reduces occlusion and heavy residue
• No unnecessary fragrances or harsh additives
• Introduce slowly — start every other day and increase as tolerated
• Perform a small patch test before full‑face use

How should I incorporate this into my morning or evening routine?

Apply C+C after cleansing and toning but before heavier creams or oils so the antioxidants can sit close to the skin. Use sunscreen in the daytime whenever applying antioxidant treatments to support overall skin protection.

• Use on clean, dry skin; press a pea‑sized amount into the face
• Layer under moisturizer or oils if extra hydration is needed
• For daytime, follow immediately with broad‑spectrum SPF
• Can be used in evening routines for antioxidant support overnight

What texture and finish should I expect from this cream?

The product feels like a lightweight silicone cream that evaporates within minutes, leaving a thin cushion of antioxidants without tackiness. The finish is smooth and unobtrusive, making it compatible with makeup and sunscreen.

• Thin, silky application that absorbs quickly
• Non‑greasy, non‑sticky finish suitable under makeup
• Delivers concentrated actives without heavy emollients
• Tube packaging helps preserve stability of sensitive ingredients

Who is this for: Stratia C+C is aimed at users seeking a potent, water‑free vitamin C treatment that blends immediate antioxidant support with a lightweight texture. It’s suitable for people who want high‑strength L‑ascorbic acid without heavy oils or sticky residues, those layering antioxidants under sunscreen or makeup, and anyone who prefers a compact, travel‑friendly vitamin C option. If you have very reactive skin, introduce it gradually and patch test first.
