C Radiance Serum

1. What is C RADIANCE SERUM?

C RADIANCE SERUM is a high-potency antioxidant facial serum formulated with 15% L-ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), 1% Vitamin E, and 0.5% Ferulic Acid. It is designed to help visibly brighten skin, improve the appearance of uneven skin tone, and support skin against environmental stressors.

2. What skin concerns does it help address?

C RADIANCE SERUM is formulated to help improve the appearance of:

• Dullness
• Uneven-looking skin tone
• Loss of radiance
• Visible signs of environmental stress

This product is a cosmetic and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

3. How do I use it?

Morning use is recommended.

1. Cleanse and fully dry skin
2. Apply 3–5 drops to face (and
   optionally neck/chest)
3. Allow to absorb for about 60 seconds
4. Follow with moisturizer
5. Apply sunscreen during the day

4. How often should I use it?

Begin every other morning for the first week.

If well tolerated, increase to once daily.

5. Can I use it at night?

Yes. While antioxidant protection is commonly used in the morning routine, it may also be applied at night if preferred.

6. How many drops should I apply?

Use enough to lightly cover the skin — typically 3 drops for the face, 4–5 if including neck. More product does not improve results and may increase irritation.

7. Should I wear sunscreen with this product?

Yes. Vitamin C is often used in daytime routines alongside sunscreen. Daily sun protection is
recommended regardless of skincare routine.

8. Why is this product important? What is the science?

The real structural change in collagen after age ~30:
Factor Change

Collagen production ↓ ~1% per year

Dermal thickness gradually decreases

Elastin fibers degrade and fragment

Glycosaminoglycans
(hydration molecules) decrease

Important nuance
The biggest collagen loss actually occurs at menopause, where studies show up to 30% loss in the first 5 years due to estrogen decline.

Why Vitamin C serums matter

Our C·E Ferulic–style
formula addresses two key mechanisms:

• Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) → stimulates collagen synthesis
• Ferulic acid + Vitamin E → stabilize
  vitamin C and reduce oxidative breakdown of collagen

This is why this formulation category is widely studied in dermatology.

9. Is tingling normal?

A mild, brief tingling sensation may occur due to the acidic nature of pure L-ascorbic acid.

Discontinue use if you experience persistent irritation, burning, swelling, or
rash.

10. Should I patch test first?

Yes. Apply a small amount to a discreet area once daily for 24–48 hours before full use.
Individual skin responses vary.

11. Can I use this with retinol?

Yes. To minimize irritation:

• Use Vitamin C in the morning
• Use retinol at night

Avoid layering multiple strong actives in the same routine if you are sensitive.

12. Can I use it with exfoliating acids (AHA/BHA)?

Use caution when combining strong actives. If irritation occurs, alternate days or separate into
morning and evening routines.

13. Can I use it with benzoyl peroxide?

To reduce potential interaction, use at different times of day (for example, Vitamin C in the morning and benzoyl peroxide at night).

14. Can I use it with niacinamide?

Yes. Most users tolerate the combination well. If you are sensitive, separate usage by time of day.

15. Is it safe for sensitive skin?

Many users with sensitive skin can tolerate it when introduced gradually. Start slowly and
monitor your skin’s response.

16. Can I use it around the eyes?

Avoid direct contact with eyes and lash line. Use cautiously on the orbital bone area if tolerated.

17. What color should the serum be?

At first opening, the serum may range from clear to light yellow or pale amber.

18. My serum has darkened slightly. Is that normal?

Vitamin C formulas may gradually deepen in color over time due to normal exposure to air and light
during use.

If the serum becomes very dark brown and develops a strong odor, replacement is recommended.

19. How should I store it?

• Keep tightly closed
• Store in a cool, dry place
• Avoid direct sunlight
• Avoid high heat

20. How long does a bottle last?

With typical daily use (3–5 drops), one bottle generally lasts 4–5 months.

21. How long is it good after opening?

For best experience, we recommend using within 6 months after opening, as indicated by the Period After Opening (PAO) symbol on the packaging.

22. Does it have a scent?

Due to its active ingredients, the serum has a natural scent characteristic of Vitamin C and ferulic acid. No added fragrance is included.

23. Is it fragrance-free?

Yes. C RADIANCE SERUM does not contain added fragrance.

24. Is it cruelty-free?

ONECeuticals does not conduct animal testing on finished products. We work with suppliers who share our commitment to responsible practices.

25. Is it vegan?

Yes. C RADIANCE SERUM is formulated without any animal-derived ingredients or animal by-products. All components are plant-derived, synthetic, or produced through controlled fermentation processes.

In skincare, “vegan” means a product does not contain ingredients sourced from animals. It does not refer to ingestion.

26. Is it non-comedogenic?

The formula is lightweight and designed for broad skin compatibility. Individual responses vary.

27. What is the pH of the serum?

The formula is
maintained within an acidic range appropriate for L-ascorbic acid performance
(approximately pH 2.8–3.2).

28. Why is it packaged in amber glass?

Amber glass helps
reduce light exposure, supporting product stability.

29. Do you test each batch?

Yes. Each production
batch of C RADIANCE SERUM undergoes documented quality control verification
prior to release. This includes:

• Appearance and clarity evaluation
• pH verification within our defined
  specification range
