Olay Vitamin C Brightening Face Serum, 1.3 fl oz — Peptides & Niacinamide for Radiance

Olay Vitamin C Max Brightening Face Serum is a lightweight antioxidant serum with vitamin C, peptides and niacinamide designed to boost radiance and help even skin tone when used consistently.

This fast-absorbing facial serum combines stabilized vitamin C with dermatologist-recommended peptides and niacinamide to support a brighter-looking complexion while feeling weightless on skin. Designed for daily use on face and neck, the formulation layers easily under moisturizers, sunscreen and makeup. Its texture delivers hydrating slip for smooth application and is fragrance-lifted with a fresh citrus note.

How will this serum fit into my morning and evening routines?

Use a small amount on clean skin of the face and neck both morning and night. In the morning, follow with a moisturizer and a broad-spectrum SPF; at night, pair with your regular night cream. The serum absorbs quickly so it won’t interfere with makeup application.

• Apply after cleansing and toning, before heavier creams
• Use daily for best visible results
• Always follow daytime application with sunscreen because it contains AHA

What key ingredients deliver the brightening effect?

The formula centers on stabilized vitamin C for antioxidant support, peptides to promote skin-smooth appearance, and niacinamide to help visibly even tone and texture. These act together to hydrate and refresh the complexion without a heavy finish.

• Vitamin C: supports a more luminous look
• Peptides: formulated at increased concentration vs. earlier Olay peptide blends
• Niacinamide: helps improve the look of uneven tone and texture
• AHA included—supports skin renewal and requires sun protection

How quickly will I notice changes in my skin?

Many users report immediate hydration and smoother feel upon first uses. With continued daily use, visible improvements to evenness and brightness tend to appear within weeks rather than days. Individual results vary depending on skin type and skincare habits.

• Instant: hydrated, smoother-feeling skin
• About one week: more even-looking tone for some users
• Several weeks: increased overall radiance when used consistently

Will this serum work under makeup and for sensitive routines?

The lightweight, fast-absorbing texture layers well beneath makeup and heavier moisturizers without pilling. It’s formulated without parabens, phthalates, synthetic dyes or mineral oil; however, those with highly reactive or extremely sensitive skin should patch-test first, particularly because the formula contains AHA.

• Non-greasy finish that supports smooth makeup application
• Dermatologist-tested and free from certain common additives
• Patch test recommended for very sensitive skin types

Who is this for: This serum is suited to anyone seeking a daily brightening step that hydrates and helps even skin tone — ideal for normal skin types and those new to vitamin C or peptide serums. If you want a lightweight antioxidant boost that layers easily with sunscreen and makeup, this formula is designed for that use. Avoid eye contact and remember daytime sun protection because of the AHA ingredient.
