Description

NeoStrata® 15% Vitamin C + PHA Serum is a potent brightening serum from the Enlighten range, proven to improve dark marks, uneven skin tone, and skin texture. Suitable for early ageing and hyperpigmentation.

Key ingredients include L-Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), a potent antioxidant that helps brighten the appearance of dark marks and hyperpigmentation. Gluconolactone (PHA) gently exfoliates the skin to aid the absorption of actives. Feverfew Extract enhances antioxidants naturally found in the skin, supporting protection against damaging environmental aggressors. Green Tea Extract is an antioxidant that helps fight free radical damage, while boosting Vitamin C antioxidant capacity. Fragrance-free.

Dr Webster’s Recommendation: NeoStrata® 15% Vitamin C + PHA Serum, with its high concentration of L-Ascorbic Acid, helps brighten the appearance of hyperpigmentation and dark marks while protecting against free radicals and ozone pollution. This serum also gently exfoliates, improving skin texture for brighter-looking skin.

    Best Vit C serum out there. Doesn’t feel watery and full of alcohol. Has perfect texture, not too oily either. Glides on skin beautifully. Only need like 3 drops a day every morning under your sunscreen. I buy this one on repeat.

    Used this for the first time as a cheaper alternative to the most expensive vitamin c on the market and felt that it worked well for the most part but when you stop with it your skin gets super dull….. will be repurchasing and giving it another try…. I used it in conjunction with the skin brightener with spf 35 but not totally happy with it…. felt that it made my skin super oily….. will try another spf on top and see from there. Will give another review after my second bottle of the vitamin c.

    Works well for my skin. My skin looks brighter. I’ve used other brands of Vitamin C but I don’t get the same results with this one. This stands out for me

    If you have patience and don’t want a quick fix, this product is for you; it takes time to work, but when it does, you can see the difference in my second bottle, and it will not stop.

    Incredible product! Works really well for my skin. I’ve noticed clearer and brighter skin just after a few weeks of use. I’ve recently purchased my second bottle and will continue using this product.
