Pro tip: Unlike many vitamin C serums that use pure ascorbic acid (which can irritate sensitive skin), this formula uses 63% sea buckthorn water as a natural, gentle vitamin C source, so it's suitable even for reactive skin. The triple brightening approach (sea buckthorn + niacinamide + tranexamic acid) targets dark spots from multiple angles. Always use sunscreen during the day when using vitamin C products.
