Advanced Skin Brightening Kit (For Beginners & Everyone).

We recommend using this once per day, during your AM routine to take advantage of full antioxidant properties. We recommend using a broad spectrum SPF in your AM routine if you are using Vitamin C.

Yes, our 15% Vitamin C has a very slight yellow tint and light, liquid consistency. However , if the serum turns a darker yellow it means that the pure ascorbic acid in the serum has started oxidizing . It is still fine to use the serum at this point . However, it is best to discard it once it turns brown as this does not negate the safety of the product, however the efficacy might be compromised.

Upon opening the C radiance serum should be transparent with a slight yellowish tint due to the vitamin E in the formula . Due to the L-Ascorbic acid in the formula, the serum will begin to darken in color over time. Please note that this does not mean the formula has become ineffective. You only need to discontinue usage once the formula has become murky brown . Please refer to the cart in the upper sections for further clarity .

It is normal for C Radiance serum for the face to darken after opening due to air and light exposure. The formula will remain effective. It is recommended to be used within 3-6 months after opening with daily application of a pump of serum to the face, neck.

Since there is no fragrance added to this serum, there is a sort of peculiar smell due to the natural scent of ferulic acid and natural Vitamin E within the formula. It dissipates in a minute or 2 after you apply the serum so you don’t need to worry about it lingering.

For sensitive skin, we recommend testing azelaic acid on a small area where you have sensitivity (behind your ears or the inside of your arms can be helpful in patch testing too )and seeing how your unique skin type responds. We however request you to test our beginner’s version Porebright serum for this instead of jumping straight to the advanced version.

No, the Porebright serum does not cause photosensitivity .

The active ingredients in the serum are not prone to oxidation . However, the herbal extracts in the formula can change colour over time . This does not affect the safety or effectiveness of the product .

Azelaic acid works from the first application, with full results visible after 4-12 weeks of consistent daily use. Some difference in acne and clogged pores may be noticeable even sooner.

Yes, you can use azelaic acid every day (up to twice daily) but we would advise you to start slowly and slowly increase the frequency of usage.

You can combine both the products together if your skin is used to very high strength actives and is not extremely sensitive. Otherwise you can either try the beginner’s version of our porebright serum (convert the words into a link to the beginner’s version )or use this serum in your morning skincare routine and the smart ageing complex in your evening skincare routine .
