Vitamin C Brightening Serum
£75
Over the Summer I invented a new Hyaluronic Acid serum with a special form of dermal-safe Vitamin C.
As you know, vitamin C is critical to healthy collagen, but many forms irritate the skin.
The cheaper L ascorbic acid for instance, can irritate the skin and oxidise. That’s why products made with it, change colour.
I’ve been testing a skin-safe version on my own skin, on a scar, and a scald from soap making. Both healed so much faster, ala Hogwarts-style incredible.
The special vitamin C is intended to brighten the complexion – it’s the special Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (SAP) variety, that tackles acne! And guess what maskne spots and zits, are just a new form of acne.
This SAP type Vitamin C is also a powerful antioxidant, protects skin against air pollution, cigarette smoke and UV.
This new silky serum helps to brighten, smooth, and deliver all-day hydration.
SAP type Vitamin C brightens and protects collagen
There’s elasticity-boosting hyaluronic acid, that plumps up fine lines around the mouth and eyes
and antioxidant Patchoulol calms skin due to it’s anti-inflammatory, anti-irritant, and anti-microbial properties.
It’s suitable for all skin types and feels ultra-lightweight.
This special formula effortlessly sinks into your skin—hydrating without leaving you feeling greasy.
Live up to your best skin potential with this fast-absorbing brightening serum, which can easily double as a lightweight moisturizer.
Why the skin needs Vitamin C?
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that is essential to life. It’s key to many bodily functions including immunity, healthy bones, teeth and skin. This is why after an illness, or stressful period, our skin can easily look grey, tired and drab from a lack of Vitamin C. Bruising easily or rough, bumpy skin are other indicators of deficiency.
Vitamin C also calms skin and promotes healthy collagen production.
When collagen is destroyed, skin sags and becomes lined and tired looking. A skin brightening serum brings bounce and firmness back to even the most tired skin.
This is why you need a Vitamin C skin brightening serum to combat dullness, dark spots, and discoloration.
What does it smell like?
I was instinctively drawn to an essential oil I rarely use: Patchouli. Yes, the hippy scent from the Summer of Love. Turns out, patchouli is a hero regarding collagen production, tissue regeneration and pain reduction. It speeds up wound healing, reduces scar tissue, acne and cracked skin. No wonder it worked on my skin. Emotionally, it reduces anxiety, stress and depression. Perfect for the 2020 rollercoaster!
Funny fact about Patchouli – the Caryophyllene in it, is also found in clove flowers, rosemary, hops, and hemp! The Patchoulol is an antioxidant.
What is the texture like?
This serum instantly makes your skin feel like velvet. No funny smells or consistency.
It’s designed to spread easily, and then sink in rapidly, to vanish, so that you can then layer on another product quickly.
However it works as a stand-alone moisturiser on days when you want a lightweight option, for instance if it’s hot and humid.
Obviously in Winter you should listen to your skin and apply a nourishing face cream to protect against drying winds and central heating.
So yes, adding a brightening serum to your skincare routine can give your complexion a boost and vibrancy.
How to Use It:
The Vitamin C Serum is potent. One to 3 pumps is enough for an overnight treatment. Your 10ml jar provides enough for 2 months.
It’s consistency has been designed to spread easily and then.. vanish into the skin!
Apply to freshly washed skin.
Smooth onto skin with gentle fingertips.
To enhance Qi even further, tap gently over your face using raindrop or piano fingers.
Suitable for day and night use.
Layer it underneath Heart of Eternity or Proposal in Paris during cold, windy or dry weather
Or when weather is hot and humid, use it instead of a face cream.
Use it for a divine facial massage with your fingers or a jade or rosequartz Gua Sha tool.
Use it on your lips to replenish the Hyaluronic Acid (which fills in pucker lines)

JK- Hi Wendy, as you may know I’ve been using your lovely products for a while and I absolutely love them. As does my partner, Kev, who has been using the Bespoke Serum on his face for a few weeks and, remarkably, it has cleared up his psoriasis better than any other product (steroids included) he’s tried in the past 20 years! Which is great but means, of course, I’ve run out!
S – Enjoying the Vit C Serum it has a real lifting effect. It vanishes quickly in to the skin and smells divine. xxx
R – I’ve used the vitamin C as a stand alone in the morning after I wash my face. It really holds the moisture in. I read about the gua sha tool after you told me about it. What benefits do you see from it? I’ll have to try it on my lips because they have been more chapped than usual.
Sophia- I love all Wendy’s serums as they melt effortlessly into the skin without leaving a trace of stickiness. You just “Glow”! Scented with just enough gorgeous oil to give your olfactory senses a lift, this Vitamin C serum is my daily luxury I don’t think I can live without!! Thanks Wendy. Ever the magician with your alchemy.
