Geek & Gorgeous C-Glow Serum

Routine step: Treatment. After cleansing or toner and before moisturizer.

Apply a few drops to the face after cleansing, before using other serums and/or creams. Ideal to use in the morning, but can be applied in the evening routine as well.

As the C-Glow formula is water-like, we recommend that you put a drop directly onto your face and quickly pat it on with your other hand.

The official shelf life of C-Glow is 6 months from production, unopened and stored in the fridge. Therefore, we recommend you to store it in the fridge, where it keeps fresh at least for 3 months (if unopened, it keeps for a couple of months more), while it keeps about 6 weeks at room temperature.

Color: Transparent with a slight change of color with time

*The official shelf life of C-Glow is 6 months from production, unopened and stored in the fridge. To ensure maximum freshness, Geek & Gorgeous manufactures small batches of C-Glow every week. By the time a C-Glow reaches our customers it is about 2-3 weeks “old”. Therefore, we recommend you to store it in the fridge, too, where it keeps fresh at least for 3 months (if unopened, it keeps for a couple of months more), while it keeps about 6 weeks at room temperature.

Key Ingredients

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid – 15%) – A clinically proven active that gives the skin environmental protection (antioxidant), boosts collagen production and fades hyperpigmentation. Also gives an instant glow to the skin.

Ferulic acid + Vitamin E – Antioxidants that help to stabilize Vitamin C and increase its antioxidant power. The formula contains a high amount of Ferulic Acid, and a smaller amount of vitamin E.

Dimethyl Isosorbide – A new-generation solvent that aids the proper penetration of Vitamin C + solubilizes the high amount of Ferulic Acid into the formula. 

INCI: Water, (L-)Ascorbic Acid, Dimethyl Isosorbide, Butylene Glycol, Peg/Ppg/Polybutylene Glycol-8/5/3 Glycerin, Ferulic Acid, Tocopherol, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Sodium Hydroxide

Pure Vitamin C (or Ascorbic Acid), clinically proven active that gives the skin environmental protection (antioxidant) and fades hyperpigmentation; Ferulic acid + Vitamin E that work as antioxidants that help to stabilize Vitamin C and increase its antioxidant power. Dimethyl Isosorbide, which is a new-generation solvent that aids the proper penetration of Vitamin C.

Can I use it every day?

Yes, many people use it daily in the morning. If you have sensitive skin, start every other day and increase frequency as your skin adjusts.

Will C-Glow or any Vitamin C serum make my skin photosensitive?

No. Vitamin C don’t generally increase sun sensitivity the way exfoliating acids do. Still, always wear sunscreen during the day for best results and protection.

Can I use C-Glow with retinol or retinal?

Yes, but introduce one active at a time. If irritation occurs, use vitamin C in the morning and retinol at night, or alternate nights until your skin builds tolerance.

How long until I see improvement?

Immediate brightness is common due to hydration, but expect visible improvements in tone and pigmentation after about 4–8 weeks of consistent use.
