Sérum Vitamine C 25

This serum contains a potent 25% vitamin C derivative, which is considered safe in pregnancy and excellent for brightening and antioxidant protection. However, it also includes salicylic acid and essential oils, which may increase sensitivity in pregnancy. For that reason, we recommend using it with caution and under your doctor’s guidance if pregnant or breastfeeding.

✅ Vitamin C (3-O Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, 25%): A stable, high-strength vitamin C derivative. Vitamin C is considered safe in pregnancy, and topical antioxidants are widely used.

✅ Hydrating & skin-supporting ingredients (sodium hyaluronate, mannitol, panthenol-like botanicals) are pregnancy-friendly.

⚠️ Salicylic Acid: Present in the formula. While low-level salicylic acid in rinse-off cleansers is usually considered safe, leave-on serums raise more caution.

⚠️ Essential oils and fragrance compounds (lavender oil, grapefruit peel oil, geranium oil, limonene, linalool, citral, geraniol) can sometimes trigger irritation during pregnancy, though they are not contraindicated.

❌ No retinoids, hydroquinone, or benzoyl peroxide.

This serum delivers 25% vitamin C, which is safe and non-comedogenic. While the formula is generally low risk for pore clogging, the combination of salicylic acid and essential oils may increase sensitivity in acne-prone or reactive skin types. For most users, it is considered acne-friendly, but patch testing is recommended.

✅ Vitamin C (3-O Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, 25%): Potent antioxidant, non-comedogenic, and often beneficial for acne-prone skin.

✅ Hydrating & soothing agents (sodium hyaluronate, panthenol-like botanicals, mannitol) support the barrier without clogging pores.

⚠️ Salicylic Acid: Helps keep pores clear, but in some individuals can cause dryness or irritation that triggers secondary breakouts.

⚠️ Essential oils (lavender oil, grapefruit peel oil, geranium oil) and fragrance compounds (limonene, linalool, citral, citronellol) don’t clog pores directly, but can irritate sensitive or acne-prone skin.

⚠️ Alcohol derivatives (citric acid, preservatives) may increase dryness in acne-prone users, though not pore clogging.

❌ No lanolin, coconut oil, isopropyl myristate, or other highly comedogenic emollients.

This serum delivers a high concentration of stabilized vitamin C for brightening, antioxidant defense, and collagen support. While gentler than pure ascorbic acid, the high strength and natural fragrance oils may cause irritation in sensitive skin.

✅ Uses 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, a stabilized vitamin C derivative that’s more gentle than pure L-ascorbic acid.

✅ Contains hydrating and soothing agents like sodium hyaluronate, mannitol, and pentylene glycol.

✅ Antioxidant boosters like ergothioneine and geranium oil support skin defense.

⚠️ 25% vitamin C derivative is still a high potency concentration — more effective but with increased irritation risk, especially for sensitive skin.

⚠️ Lavender, grapefruit, and geranium oils bring fragrance allergens (linalool, geraniol, citronellol, limonene, citral), which can trigger reactivity.

⚠️ Low-level salicylic acid adds exfoliating power but also mild irritation risk.
