SheaMoisture Papaya & Vitamin C Serum is a lightweight daily face serum that blends papaya, vitamin C and yuzu lemon to brighten and hydrate skin.

Designed to work as a day or night booster, this 1 oz serum absorbs quickly to deliver antioxidant-rich ingredients while supporting a more even-looking complexion. Formulated without parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, petroleum and animal testing, the formula is crafted to layer easily under moisturizers or sunscreen and to integrate into most skincare routines.

How does this serum brighten and hydrate the skin?

The serum combines vitamin C with papaya extract and yuzu lemon to target dullness while lightweight hydrators help skin feel comfortable, not heavy. Regular use aims to promote a more balanced appearance by supporting skin tone and moisture.

• Vitamin C: antioxidant support for brighter-looking skin tone
• Papaya extract: fruit enzymes that promote radiance
• Yuzu lemon: natural scent and brightening complement
• Light moisturizers: deliver hydration without greasiness

When and how should I apply this serum for best results?

Use this serum after cleansing and before moisturizer—two to three drops massaged into face in upward strokes is recommended. It works both in morning and evening routines and pairs well with a brightening moisturizer or sunscreen for daytime protection.

• Apply to clean, dry skin—2–3 drops per application

Is the formula suitable for different skin types and concerns?

The lightweight, water-absorbent texture is intended to be compatible with most skin types, including normal, combination and oily skin. Because it is free from parabens, phthalates, mineral oil and petroleum, the serum is a good option for those looking for a cleaner, cruelty-free brightening product; patch-testing is advised for sensitive skin.
