The Science

How it works.

SKIN SURFACE · sun spots · melasma MELANOCYTE Tyrosinase Vitamin C (15% L-ascorbic) Vitamin C (15% L-ascorbic)

Vitamin C inhibits the enzyme that makes dark spots.

Sun damage and hormonal triggers activate tyrosinase, the enzyme inside melanocytes that produces melanin. Stable 15% L-Ascorbic Acid — paired with ferulic acid and vitamin E for potency — blocks tyrosinase at the source, brightens existing pigment, and neutralizes the free radicals that drive new spots. The result is more even tone, faded sun damage, and visibly luminous skin in 4 to 8 weeks.

Proven Benefits

The Vitamin C That Actually Works.

Most Vitamin C serums oxidize within weeks and stop working. Dr. Ching's clinical formulation uses 15% L-Ascorbic Acid stabilized with ferulic acid and vitamin E — the same combination used in dermatology offices — at a pH engineered for maximum penetration and potency. Brightens, protects, and evens tone in one daily morning step.

  • Clinically Potent 20% Vitamin C Complex – Targets dullness, discoloration, fine lines, and volume loss while shielding skin from oxidative stress.
  • Advanced Antioxidant Defense – Bio-compatible antioxidants and Vitamin E work synergistically to neutralize free radicals and protect against environmental damage.
  • Rapid-Release Delivery System – Patented technology ensures deep, fast absorption of Vitamin C to visibly brighten and revitalize the skin.
  • Microbiome-Friendly Formula – Supports healthy skin flora with a gentle blend of L-Ascorbic Acid, Tetrahexydecyl Ascorbate, and Green Tea Polyphenols.

Questions

Frequently asked.

When should I use Vitamin C?
Every morning, after cleansing and before SPF. Vitamin C amplifies the effectiveness of sunscreen.
Can I use this with retinol?
Yes. Vitamin C in the morning, retinol at night. They are complementary, not conflicting.
Why is my serum turning orange?
A slight amber tint is normal. Deep orange or brown means oxidation has occurred — time for a new bottle.
How soon will I see results?
Most users notice brighter skin within 2 weeks. Dark spots typically fade between weeks 4-8.
Will it sting?
A brief tingle is normal on reactive skin. If you experience strong stinging, apply a thinner layer or buffer with moisturizer.
Can I skip SPF if I am using Vitamin C?
Absolutely not. Vitamin C supports your SPF — it does not replace it. Always apply broad-spectrum SPF 30+ after.
