ALASTIN Skincare C-RADICAL Defense Face Serum is a hydrating, encapsulated vitamin C serum designed to protect skin from environmental free radicals while promoting a brighter, smoother complexion.

Backed by clinically relevant formulation, this 1 oz serum combines a proprietary encapsulated form of vitamin C (sodium ascorbate) with 14 supportive ingredients to help preserve elastin, support collagen production, and improve overall texture and tone. Lightweight and suitable for daily use, the serum targets signs of photodamage, fine lines, and uneven pigmentation while providing hydration to leave skin looking more illuminated.

How does this serum protect skin from environmental stressors?

The encapsulated sodium ascorbate delivers a stable vitamin C payload that neutralizes free radicals from pollution and UV exposure. Encapsulation helps maintain potency until application and can improve skin compatibility compared with unstable vitamin C forms.

• Proprietary encapsulated vitamin C (sodium ascorbate) for antioxidant defense
• 14 supporting agents that help counter environmental damage
• Formulation designed to conserve elastin and support skin structure

Will it help reduce the look of fine lines, wrinkles, or uneven tone?

Regular use aims to improve visible signs of aging by supporting collagen stimulation and helping to smooth texture. Users may notice reduced appearance of fine lines, photodamage, and brown spots as skin reflects light more evenly.

• Supports collagen production to reinforce skin’s structural matrix
• Targets fine lines and photodamage for a more even surface
• Helps reduce redness and the appearance of brown spots over time

How should I incorporate C-RADICAL Defense Serum into my routine?

Apply the serum to cleansed skin once or twice daily, morning and/or evening, before moisturizer and sunscreen. Because the formula is hydrating and non-greasy, it layers well under other treatments and makeup.

• Use after cleansing and toning, before heavier creams
• Follow morning application with broad-spectrum sunscreen
• Patch test if you have very sensitive skin or are using potent actives

What makes this vitamin C different from other serums?

This product uses an encapsulated sodium ascorbate to improve stability and delivery compared with unstable L-ascorbic acid formulations. The full formula includes 14 additional agents selected to hydrate, protect elastin, and address multiple visible concerns simultaneously.

• Encapsulation helps preserve vitamin C effectiveness until application
• Multi-ingredient approach targets hydration, pigment, texture, and structural proteins
• Award-winning recognition from New Beauty and Shape highlights industry acknowledgement

Who is this for: ALASTIN Skincare C-RADICAL Defense Face Serum is suited to anyone seeking a stable, hydrating vitamin C treatment to help protect against daily oxidative stress and improve the look of texture, tone, and early signs of aging.
