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.

Dear Michele,

We pride ourselves on providing effective and gentle cleansers, and it's great to know that our Green Tea Cleanser and Mandelic Acid 3-in-1 Exfoliating Cleanser have made a noticeable difference for you. Our Green Tea Cleanser is a calming and soothing cleanser that helps reduce inflammation and irritation, while smoothing, calming, firming, and softening the skin. Our Mandelic Acid 3-in-1 Exfoliating Cleanser will help slough off dead skin while helping with acne, aging and hyperpigmentation. We appreciate your support and look forward to continuing to provide you with all of your skincare needs!

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.
