How fast will I see results?

Many people see a smoother, tighter look on the very first evening. Lucas Meyer Cosmetics reports that its honey locust extract works within 3 minutes. Firmness, tone and wrinkles keep improving with daily use; the maker studies behind our key actives measured results at 4 weeks and beyond.

What makes it "beyond" other vitamin C serums?

Most serums use one form of vitamin C. This one uses five. It also pairs retinol with two gentle partners, retinyl linoleate and bakuchiol, adds fast-acting honey locust, kangaroo paw and a neuropeptide, and surrounds it all with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant botanicals to keep skin calm.

How is the Premium Edition different from the original Beyond Complex C?

It adds 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid, fermented purslane, bakuchiol, the neuropeptide acetyl hexapeptide-8, alpine willowherb, grape stem cells, gotu kola, Centipeda cunninghamii and pink microalgae.

Evening, so the vitamin C and retinol have the whole night to work. If you have deep wrinkles, use it morning and evening for best results, with sunscreen by day.

Can I use it with retinol products I already own?

This serum already contains retinol, so don't layer it with another retinoid. Use one or the other on any given evening.

Will it irritate sensitive skin?

Gotu kola, oat beta glucan, calendula and Centipeda cunninghamii are there to keep skin comfortable. Every skin is different, so try it on a small area first and start twice a week.

Is bakuchiol the same as retinol?

No. Bakuchiol is a botanical from the seeds of Psoralea corylifolia, not a vitamin A derivative. In a 2019 clinical trial it matched retinol on wrinkles with less irritation. In this serum the two work side by side.

Can I use it during pregnancy?

It contains retinol. If you are pregnant, trying to conceive or breastfeeding, check with your doctor first.

Is it vegan and cruelty-free?

Yes. There are no animal, bird, fish or human-derived ingredients and no testing on animals. It is certified vegan and cruelty-free. No parabens, synthetic fragrance or artificial colors. Made in small batches in the USA.

Seven formulations. One serum that finally does everything.

Five forms of vitamin C. Two collagen-building peptides. A fast-acting neuropeptide. Retinol, retinyl linoleate and bakuchiol, working together. Concentrated botanicals from Australia, India and the Swiss Alps. Crow's feet, forehead lines and smile lines look smoother from the very first evening, and wrinkles keep fading week after week. This is the serum we spent seven formulations getting right, and it shows in the mirror.

Smoother, tighter-looking skin in minutes, from the first application
Firmer, lifted-looking face, jawline and neck, week after week.

Retinol without the redness: calming botanicals built in, for daily use.
Clean since 1988: vegan, cruelty-free, no parabens, no fragrance

Ingredient functions and benefits

3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid, tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate and encapsulated L-ascorbic acid: three stable forms of vitamin C, chosen so the serum brightens without losing potency in the bottle.
Kakadu plum (Terminalia ferdinandiana): an Australian native fruit recognized as an exceptionally rich natural source of vitamin C.
Amla (Phyllanthus emblica): an Ayurvedic fruit standardized to 40% antioxidant tannins.
Honey locust seed extract (Gleditsia triacanthos): for a smoother, tauter look soon after application.
Kangaroo paw flower (Anigozanthos flavidus): a source of ferulic acid, an antioxidant that also helps keep vitamin C stable.
Acetyl Hexapeptide-8: a peptide that helps soften the look of expression lines with regular use.
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5: a signal peptide for firmer, more resilient-looking skin.
Dipalmitoyl hydroxyproline: an amino acid derivative that supports the look of firmness.
Bakuchiol (Psoralea corylifolia seed extract): a botanical widely used as a gentler alternative to retinol.
Retinol and retinyl linoleate: two forms of vitamin A for
smoother-looking texture and softened lines.
Fermented purslane (Lactobacillus/Portulaca oleracea ferment): a natural source of glutathione, an antioxidant that works alongside vitamin C.
