Best for
All skin types. Anyone targeting uneven tone, dark spots and early lines — and every client protecting in-clinic treatment results, since daily oxidative damage is what quietly undoes them.
How to use
Apply 4 to 5 drops onto your fingers and smooth over a clean, dry face every morning, avoiding the eye area. Allow to absorb before applying additional products. Follow with moisturizer and broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher.

Results from studies of the formula's key actives. Individual results vary.
What's inside, and what it does
- L-Ascorbic Acid 15%
- Brightens skin and boosts collagen synthesis — the most-studied topical vitamin C form, at clinical strength.
- Ferulic Acid
- Stabilizes the formula and amplifies its antioxidant power — the classic pairing, done properly.
- Vitamin E (Tocopherol)
- Protects and nourishes the skin barrier while working synergistically with vitamin C.
- Octapeptide Complex
- Supports a smoother, more refined skin texture over time.
Most vitamin C serums die in the bottle. This one doesn't.
Why most vitamin C disappoints
- Pure L-ascorbic acid oxidizes fast — most formulas lose potency within 60–90 days of opening, long before the bottle is empty.
- Drugstore "vitamin C" often uses weak derivatives at low percentages that brighten the label more than your skin.
- Without daily antioxidant defense, sun and pollution quietly undo the results you paid for in-clinic.
How VITA-CE works differently
- Ferulic acid + vitamin E stabilize 15% L-ascorbic acid so the last drop works like the first.
- Clinical concentration, verified on the label: 15% L-AA, 1% tocopherol, 0.5% ferulic — no hiding behind a blend.
- Your morning shield: it defends collagen while its peptide refines texture — protecting treatments between visits.

How to use it in your ritual
Luminous Cleanser first — clean, dry skin lets vitamin C absorb properly.
4–5 drops of VITA-CE each morning. Let it fully absorb — about a minute.
Follow with moisturizer (or Youth Code) and broad-spectrum SPF 30+. Vitamin C and SPF are a team.

Before you add to cart
Will it sting or tingle?
A brief, light tingle on application can be normal with real L-ascorbic acid at 15%, especially at first. It should settle within a minute. If you're very sensitive, start every other morning — or ask us at your next visit.
Why does vitamin C need Ferulic Acid?
L-ascorbic acid is powerful but unstable on its own. Ferulic acid and vitamin E stabilize it and multiply its antioxidant effect — the combination is what separates clinical serums from ones that oxidize in the bottle.
Morning or night?
Morning. Vitamin C works as your daytime antioxidant shield against UV-generated free radicals and pollution — then SPF finishes the job. At night, Midnight Reset takes over.
Can I layer it with retinoids?
Keep them at opposite ends of the day: VITA-CE in the morning, Midnight Reset at night. That's the routine the ritual is built around.
How should I store it?
Capped tightly, away from heat and direct light. Gradual amber deepening over months is normal oxidation of real L-AA; a dramatic colour change means it's time for a fresh bottle.
When will I see brightening?
Many clients notice glow within 2–3 weeks; tone and spot improvement builds over 8–12 weeks of daily use.
