Active PotencyNot specified (likely derivative)

Supporting ActivesHyaluronic acid, retinol, amino acids

A 20% vitamin C serum packaged as a 3-pack (1 fl oz × 3) with supporting actives: hyaluronic acid, retinol, and amino acids. The formula targets brightening, hydration, collagen boost, and anti-aging. Currently priced at $18.39 (20% off typical $22.99), or $6.13/oz, making it competitive in the mid-market vitamin-C space. The product leans on a multi-active approach rather than the gold-standard C+E+ferulic synergy. Limited public track record and derm endorsement; community sentiment is mixed—some users report results, others note fast oxidation and occasional irritation. Best suited for budget-conscious shoppers seeking a multi-benefit serum rather than purists focused on stabilized L-ascorbic acid.
