Vitamin C Serum

A brightening vitamin C serum built on 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid, a stable form of vitamin C, with glutathione, alpha arbutin and niacinamide. It helps skin look brighter and more even, helps reduce the look of dark spots, and gives antioxidant support against the look of sun and pollution. Sodium hyaluronate and glycerin keep it hydrating rather than drying.

The serum many new brands launch first

Vitamin C is the serum Pakistani customers already know to look for, which makes it a sensible first product for a new label or an online seller testing demand on Instagram and Daraz. This version is built for everyday wear rather than for experts: it layers easily, suits most skin types and gives a radiant look that shows in photos. Pharmacy brands use it as the anchor of a brightening shelf, and clinics recommend it to clients who want a simple morning routine.

Why 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid suits a hot climate

Pure ascorbic acid oxidises quickly in heat and can turn a serum yellow soon after opening, a real problem in a Lahore summer. 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid is a more stable form of vitamin C that holds up better in a water-based serum. Glutathione and alpha arbutin add to the brighter, more even-looking tone, niacinamide supports the barrier and the look of pores, and vitamins E and K round out the antioxidant care. Sodium hyaluronate and glycerin keep the finish hydrating, with rose water and fragrance for a soft scent.

A morning step that needs sunscreen

Customers press three or four drops onto clean, dry skin in the morning, then follow with moisturiser and sunscreen. Vitamin C is a daytime partner to sunscreen, never a replacement for it, and a broad-spectrum SPF 50 is the right match for Pakistani sun. It can also go on at night, on evenings without retinal or exfoliating acids. A brighter look builds over several weeks of steady use, and anyone with sensitive skin should patch test before the first full application.

Brightening routines that sell as a set

Vitamin C sells best inside a routine with a clear morning order. Start with the Vitamin C Brightening Face Wash, follow with this serum, and finish with the SPF 50 Invisible Gel Sunscreen for oily skin or the SPF 50+ Tinted Sunscreen (PA++++) for medium and deep skin that wants no white cast. Customers focused on dark spots can add the Alpha Arbutin + Tranexamic Serum at night. On the label and in captions, keep to radiant, brighter-looking skin and a more even-looking tone.

Packaging that keeps vitamin C fresh

An airless pump limits the air that reaches the serum each time it is used, which helps a vitamin C formula keep its colour longer once opened. A dropper bottle in amber or opaque glass is the classic alternative and suits a brightening shelf. The serum is made in 30 ml. For a fragrance-free version, a lighter texture or a different balance of the brightening actives, we adjust the formula and send a sample for approval before your first batch is made.

This is one of our ready formulas from the serums range, made under your own brand. If you want the texture, actives or fragrance changed, or something that is not on this list at all, our chemists will develop it with custom formulation, and packaging and printing is handled in the same building.
