Before & Afters

Q: Should I use this with other serums?
A: Yes. Pure C+E works well with other actives and supports a comprehensive regimen. Apply lighter formulas first, then follow with richer treatments or moisturizers.

Q: Is it best used in the morning?
A: Morning is ideal. As an antioxidant serum, Pure C + E helps defend against environmental stressors throughout the day.

Q: Is it good for all skin types?
A: Yes. Pure C+E is suitable for all skin types and tones.

Q: Why are Vitamin C and E a good pair?
A. They complement each other. Vitamin C is water-soluble and Vitamin E is lipid-soluble, so they help stabilize each other for greater effectiveness. Additionally, they have a synergistic effect that enhances antioxidant benefits.

Q: How long does the serum last after opening?
A: It’s normal for the serum to darken a little after opening due to air and light exposure. For best results, use within 3-6 months of opening and store tightly sealed, away from direct light.

Q: Should I use it with sunscreen?
A: Yes. Pairing Pure C + E with a broad-spectrum sunscreen is a smart step for daily protection. Vitamin antioxidants complement SPF by supporting skin’s defense against environmental stressors. Remember, Pure C + E is not a substitute for sunscreen.

My skin glows after cleansing

I love both green tea cleaners and Mandelic Acid 3-in-1 Exfoliating Cleanser.
I was out for about a month, and I could see and feel the dullness in my skin. I am older lady, with lines and discoloration, these cleaners make a huge difference.

Pure C + E

I love it. It a great product. Easy to use and spread on your face. After 3 to 4 weeks of using it, you could see - it starts fading the pigments on your face.
It makes your face softer and brighter.
