Minimalist Vitamin C+E+Ferulic 16% Brightening Face Serum — 0.68 fl oz, Stable Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, Fragrance-Free

Minimalist Vitamin C+E+Ferulic Acid 16% Face Serum is a concentrated antioxidant serum that brightens dull skin and supports skin resilience using a stable 15% ethyl ascorbic acid formula boosted with vitamin E, ferulic acid and fullerence (C‑60).

This lightweight 0.68 fl oz (20 ml) serum is built to deliver a high-purity vitamin C derivative in a pH-balanced vehicle, combined with complementary antioxidants for added stability and performance. The blend is fragrance-free, silicone-free and formulated for minimal irritation, making it suitable for a range of skin types. Use day or night after cleansing and toning to help even skin tone and support a healthier-looking complexion.

How does this serum help brighten skin and reduce redness?

The formula centers on ethyl ascorbic acid (ET‑VC), a stable vitamin C derivative at a high 15% concentration that supports surface brightness and overall radiance. Vitamin E and ferulic acid at 1% each work synergistically to stabilize vitamin C and help neutralize environmental aggressors that can contribute to dullness and visible irritation.

• 15% ethyl ascorbic acid (ET‑VC) for brightening and antioxidant support
• 1% vitamin E + 1% ferulic acid to boost stability and efficacy
• Fullerence (C‑60) added as a modern antioxidant to enhance glow and defend against oxidative stress
• Fragrance- and dye-free formulation to minimize sensory irritation

Will this serum work with my existing skincare routine?

Yes — the serum is lightweight and designed to layer under moisturizers and sunscreens, both morning and evening. Apply after cleansing and toning, allow it to absorb, then follow with your hydrating products; in the morning always finish with a broad-spectrum SPF.

• Use 2–3 drops applied by gentle tapping and smoothing across face
• Acceptable to layer under hydrating creams, oils, and sunscreen
• Avoid combining with highly acidic exfoliants at the same moment to limit irritation
• Can be included in both AM and PM routines for cumulative benefit

Is this serum suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

The product was formulated to be non-comedogenic, oil-free and hypoallergenic, and it excludes fragrance, parabens, sulfates, silicones, essential oils and dyes. Its pH range of 3.5–4.5 balances activity with skin tolerance, but patch testing is recommended for very reactive skin types.

• Non-comedogenic and oil-free for acne-prone concerns
• Fragrance-free and dye-free to reduce irritation risk
• pH 3.5–4.5 for effectiveness while aiming for gentler application
• Perform a patch test before full-face use if you have extreme sensitivity

How should I store and apply the serum for best results?

To preserve potency, store the bottle in a cool, dark place and reseal after each use. Use the dropper to dispense 2–3 drops, apply to fingertips, and gently tap across the face before smoothing in circular motions until absorbed. If using in the morning, apply sunscreen afterward.

• Store away from direct sunlight and heat to maintain stability
• 2–3 drops per application; tap then spread evenly over face
• Use twice daily — AM (follow with SPF) and PM — for consistent results
• Replace lid tightly after each use to limit air exposure

Who is this for: Minimalist Vitamin C+E+Ferulic Acid 16% Face Serum is made for people looking to brighten dull complexions, support skin resilience against environmental stressors, and incorporate a potent, modern antioxidant complex into a minimalist routine.
