Unlike most vitamin C serums that contain only one form of vitamin C, Hylunia's Beyond Complex C features four different types: L-Ascorbic Acid (the purest form), Ester C (a stable, less irritating form), Kakadu Plum (containing 100x more vitamin C than oranges), and Amla (Indian Gooseberry, 20x richer in vitamin C than oranges). This multi-layered approach allows for deeper penetration and more effective results than traditional serums.

Yes! The Beyond Complex C Vitamin C Serum is formulated to work with all skin types. Whether you have dry, oily, combination, or sensitive skin, this serum is gentle yet effective. Its preservative-free, clean formulation makes it particularly good for those with sensitive skin who may react to harsher products.

For optimal results, the serum should be used daily. While it can be applied both morning and night, it's especially beneficial when used in the morning as the antioxidant properties help protect your skin from environmental stressors like pollution and UV rays throughout the day. Consistency is key for visible, long-lasting results.

Beyond the four types of vitamin C, the serum contains:

• Kangaroo Paw Flower Extract (contains natural Ferulic Acid for sun protection and tightening)
• Retinol (vitamin A for cell turnover and collagen production)
• Plant Stem Cells (from Argan and Grape for skin regeneration)
• Peptides that boost collagen production and support skin firmness

Many users report seeing initial results within 2-4 weeks of consistent use. These early benefits often include improved hydration and brightness. More significant changes in wrinkle reduction, skin firmness, and hyperpigmentation typically become visible after 8-12 weeks of daily use. For mature skin concerns, consistent use over 3+ months provides the most dramatic transformation.

Yes, the serum works well with most skincare ingredients. However, if you're using other strong actives like AHAs, BHAs, or additional retinol products, consider alternating them (using one in the morning and another at night) to prevent potential irritation. The serum pairs especially well with Hylunia's moisturizers, which help lock in the serum's benefits.

While you can use it both morning and evening, vitamin C provides the most benefit when applied in the morning. Its antioxidant properties help defend your skin against environmental damage throughout the day. If using it in your morning routine, always follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen.
