Most brightening serums rely on unstable forms of Vitamin C that oxidise quickly and can feel harsh. Essano Vitamin C Advanced Brightening Concentrated Serum uses a stabilised, oil-soluble Vitamin C derivative in a cushioned, nutrient-rich base for visible radiance with everyday comfort.

Ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate is a next-generation, oil-soluble Vitamin C derivative known for better stability and gradual, effective delivery. It works with antioxidant Vitamin E to support skin’s defence against free radicals. Squalane, jojoba and rosehip oils help reinforce the skin barrier, while glycerin and betaine draw in water for balanced hydration.

This concentrated serum has a silky, lightweight oil-serum texture that spreads easily without dragging. It absorbs quickly, leaving skin comfortable, softly nourished and ready for moisturiser, SPF or make-up. With consistent morning use, skin appears more luminous and refined day after day.

Use this serum as your targeted brightening step after cleansing and before moisturising. Apply regularly in the morning, and follow with SPF to support visible results and help protect against further discolouration from daily environmental exposure.

Pro Tips

• Introduce the serum on alternate mornings at first, then build to daily use if skin is comfortable.
• Layer a hydrating, fragrance-free moisturiser afterwards if your skin feels tight or weather-exposed.
• Do not mix directly with strong exfoliating acids in the same step; use them at a different time of day.
• Apply to the neck and upper chest as well for a more uniform, brightened look across frequently exposed areas.
