Kakadu Vitamin C Brightening Serum with Hyaluronic Acid

For best results, apply the serum twice per day, at morning and night after cleansing, and follow with the LuxeOrganix Vitamin C face moisturizer and Brilliant Eyes day & night eye cream.

Besides the Vitamin C in natural form of Kakadu Plum Fruit Extract at 0.50%, there are numerous plant ingredients in this serum that contain Vitamin C such as Schisandra Chinensis (Organic Schisandra) Extract. Because of this, we cannot specify an exact percentage of Vitamin C in this formula; however, we can state that it is formulated to first and foremost be safe for the skin on and around your face, as well as potent enough to improve the health and tone of your skin, and has proven to leave visibly noticeable improvements to the appearance of the skin.

Our serum contains Retinol in the natural form of Bakuchiol Extract at 0.50%. Bakuchiol deeply penetrates the skin to help lessen the appearance of dark spots or areas of hyperpigmentation, and reduces the appearance of fine lines. Like retinol, bakuchiol tells your cells to make collagen, “plumping” your skin and reducing the look of fine lines and wrinkles.

In case you’re not familiar with why Bakuchiol is such a great alternative to traditional retinols… in a 12-week study published in the International Journal of Cosmetic Science comparing retinol and bakuchiol, results showed “significant improvement in lines and wrinkles, pigmentation, elasticity, firmness and overall reduction in photo-damage,” without the undesirable retinol side effects such as dryness and irritation.

So… all of the benefits with none of the irritants!

Our serum can be used with an over-the-counter (OTC) brightening cream. If prescription treatments are being used, you should inform your doctor about your use of the LuxeOrganix serum.

Our serum can be used during the day with a sunscreen application on top.

Technically it is safe to apply the serum under your eyes; however, it is important to be aware that there is glycolic acid in this serum that may make your skin sensitive to the sun. For that reason, as you should with your daily skin care routine, you should apply an spf safe for use on your face. Some spfs are not good for use around the eyes, so unless you have an spf like that, you may want to avoid applying serum under your eyes.

You should also avoid getting the serum into your eyes. Active serums should never be applied to the eyelid. Dark circles and eye bags can be helped by preventing thinning of the under eye skin. Glycolic acid and Hyaluronic acid stimulate collagen production keeping skin plump, retaining volume. If you have sensitive skin around the eyes, or if you do not have an spf for use around the eyes, you may want to rethink using a serum around your eyes.

We encourage you to check out our LuxeOrganix Brilliant Eyes bio-advanced daily eye cream, which is known for improving dark circles under eyes, as well as diminishing the appearance of eye bags. This specially formulated eye cream is safe for use under your eyes, around your eyes and on your eye lids. You can then just focus applying the serum on other, less-prone-to-sensitivity areas on your face, neck and decollete.

Hope this helps!

Yes, our serum is 100% Vegan and Gluten-Free. It does not contain any wheat, and is not produced from an animal or an animal byproduct.

Thanks for asking! LuxeOrganix Kakadu Vitamin C Hyaluronic Acid brightening serum contains up to 10% Hyaluronic Acid from Cassia Angustifolia Seed, a botanical, plant-derived form of Hyaluronic Acid. This powerhouse skincare ingredient has been clinically proven to be FOUR TIMES more potent than synthetic Hyaluronic Acid at retaining long-lasting moisture and boosting hydration and elasticity levels in the skin.

You may also be interested in knowing that while Hyaluronic Acid is said to hold roughly 1,000 times its weight in water when combined with reishi mushrooms, another key ingredient in our serum, creates a double-boost of hydration and maximizes absorption. With the mushroom hydration particles being smaller than those of hyaluronic acid, it can penetrate the skin more easily, and help to reduce inflammation, puffiness, wrinkles & free radical damage, while also promoting cell regeneration for glowing, healthy skin. Combine that with the essential mineral, MSM (which improves cell wall permeability, allowing vital nutrients to flow through to cells), and you have an intensely hydrating serum that works both immediately and overtime to reveal fresher, more vibrant-looking skin.
