KEY INGREDIENTS
- Vitamin C (15% L-Ascorbic Acid): It is a clinically proven active ingredient that provides environmental protection to the skin (antioxidant), increases collagen production and attenuates hyper-pigmentation spots. It also provides instant luminosity to the skin.
- Ferulic Acid + Vitamin E: Antioxidants that help stabilize Vitamin C and increase its antioxidant power. The formula contains a high amount of Ferulic Acid and a lower amount of Vitamin E.
- Dimethyl Isosorbide: It is a state-of-the-art solvent that aids in the proper penetration of Vitamin C, in addition to solubilizing the high percentage of Ferulic Acid in the formula.

HOW TO USE
Apply a few drops to your face after cleansing, before using other serums and/or creams. Ideally, you should use it in the mornings (which is when we are most exposed to environmental damage) but it can also be used at night.
Since C-Glow's formula is similar to water, we recommend that you apply a drop directly to your face and quickly pat it in with your other hand.
Shelf life: 6 months from production (unopened), 3 months PAO (period after opening) - but since C-Glow has been on the market for a few years, we can say from experience that stored in the refrigerator unopened it will keeps fresh for 2-3 more months.

The only disadvantage of pure Vitamin C is that it is very unstable and difficult to formulate. This formula uses a low pH and additional antioxidants to help stabilize Vitamin C, but even then, C-Glow only has 4 months of shelf life.

To ensure maximum product freshness, C-Glow is manufactured in small batches once a week (on average, when a C-Glow reaches our customers, it has approximately 2 months of manufacturing date and we store C-Glow in refrigerators in our warehouses).
