Drunk Elephant C‑Firma Vitamin C Day Serum — 15% L‑Ascorbic Acid, Brightening Antioxidant, 28 ml

Drunk Elephant C‑Firma Fresh Day Serum is a 15% l‑ascorbic acid antioxidant serum formulated to brighten, firm, and help reduce visible signs of photoaging when used in a morning skincare routine.

This lightweight day serum arrives in a two‑part bottle that you activate just before first use to lock in freshness and potency. The formula combines 15% vitamin C (l‑ascorbic acid) with ferulic acid, vitamin E, and fruit enzymes to target uneven tone, improve texture, and deliver antioxidant protection alongside hydration. It’s created with the brand’s clean‑beauty standards—free of essential oils, silicones, and fragrance—and is dermatologist‑tested.

How should I prepare and apply C‑Firma so it works best?

Mix the serum components right before you start using it to preserve the strength of l‑ascorbic acid. Apply one pump to clean, dry skin in the morning, spreading gently across face, neck, chest, and the backs of hands, and follow with sunscreen to protect results.

• Prime: activate the bottle by combining the inner and outer chambers as instructed.
• Dosage: one pump per application covers face, neck, chest, and hands.
• Layering: allow absorbtion before moisturizer; always finish with broad‑spectrum SPF.

What active ingredients are in this serum and what do they do?

The serum centers on 15% l‑ascorbic acid, a water‑soluble form of vitamin C known for brightening and evening skin tone. It’s supported by 0.5% ferulic acid for antioxidant synergy, vitamin E for barrier support, and fruit enzymes that help refine texture and promote radiance.

• 15% l‑ascorbic acid: targets dullness, fine lines, and discoloration.
• 0.5% ferulic acid: enhances antioxidant performance against free radicals.
• Vitamin E & fruit enzymes: soothe, hydrate, and polish skin surface.

Will C‑Firma work with sensitive or reactive skin types?

The formula avoids common irritants such as essential oils, fragrance, and silicones, and it’s dermatologist‑tested, but concentrated vitamin C can cause tingling or temporary sensitivity for some users. Start with every other morning or mix a small amount into your moisturizer to assess tolerance before increasing frequency.

• Patch test before full face use if you’re reactive to active acids.
• Begin gradually—alternate mornings or dilute in your serum/sunscreen.
• Always pair with sunscreen to prevent sun sensitivity and protect results.

How long until I see results and how should I store it?

Visible improvements in brightness and texture can appear within weeks, but best benefits—such as reduced discoloration and firmer appearance—are typically noticed with consistent use over months. Store the activated bottle upright in a cool, dark place; the product is designed to be mixed before first use to maximize stability.

• Short term: improved radiance and smoother texture within weeks.
• Long term: gradual reduction in visible photoaging with continued use.
• Storage: keep away from direct sunlight and heat after activation.

Who is this for: Drunk Elephant C‑Firma is suited for anyone seeking a clean, high‑strength vitamin C serum to boost radiance, address early signs of sun damage, and support skin texture—especially those who prefer fragrance‑free, clinically minded formulations. It’s appropriate for normal to combination skin and can be adapted for sensitive skin with cautious introduction. If you’re using other potent actives (like strong retinoids), consult how to stagger applications to minimize irritation and maximize benefits.
