Physicians Formula Brightening Serum Vitamin Shot — Vitamin C, Licorice & B3, Fragrance-Free

Physicians Formula Skin Booster Vitamin Shot is a concentrated brightening serum blend with Vitamin C, licorice root, and Vitamin B3 designed to target dark spots and promote a more even, radiant-looking complexion.

This lightweight, hydrogel-encapsulated serum is formulated to be mixed into your skincare routine so you can customize how you use it alongside toners, primers, or moisturizers. The encapsulation helps stabilize active ingredients while allowing precise application; the formula is fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, and created with sensitive skin in mind.

How does this serum help reduce the look of dark spots?

The combination of stabilized Vitamin C, licorice extract, and Vitamin B3 (niacinamide) works in synergy to address uneven pigmentation and brighten the skin's appearance over time. Regular use as directed may support a more uniform tone and a luminous-looking complexion without heavy texture or residue.

• Vitamin C: antioxidant support for a brighter-looking surface.
• Licorice extract: helps target visible areas of discoloration.
• Vitamin B3: minimizes the appearance of uneven tone and supports skin barrier function.
• Hydrogel encapsulation: protects actives until application for freshness.

How should I add the Vitamin Shot into my daily routine?

Use this serum as a customizable booster by mixing a few drops with your favorite toner, moisturizer, or primer, or apply directly to targeted areas after cleansing. Because it’s fragrance-free and hypoallergenic, it pairs well with sensitive-skin products and layered routines.

• Apply after cleansing and toning, before heavier creams.
• Mix into a moisturizer for all-over brightening benefits.
• Spot-treat areas with visible dark spots for concentrated action.
• Use morning or evening; add sunscreen in daytime routines.

Is this product suitable for sensitive skin and daily use?

Physicians Formula formulates this serum to be gentle: it’s hypoallergenic, cruelty-free, and free from added fragrance, making it compatible with many sensitive skin regimens. Patch testing is still recommended if you have reactive skin or are using other active ingredients.

• Fragrance-free formula reduces irritation risk.
• Hypoallergenic and dermatologist-approved formulations.
• Safe to layer with other Physician's Formula products.
• Recommended patch test before full-face use if concerned.

What results can I expect and how long before I notice changes?

Visible improvement in skin brightness and a more even-looking tone typically appears with consistent use over several weeks; individual results vary by skin type and condition. The hydrogel delivery helps maintain ingredient potency for steady performance during your regimen.

• Noticeable brightening often occurs with regular use within weeks.
• Targeted dark spot appearance may reduce over time.
• Continued use supports maintenance of a radiant-looking complexion.
• Use alongside sun protection to protect improvements.
