The Colour Explorer
A brighter-looking finish
Cleanse, serum, moisturizer, and one thing that catches the light. Most of what reads as glow is hydration and an even surface rather than product count — skin holding water reflects light more evenly than skin that is not.
The routine, in order
Step 1 · Cleanse
Enriched Foaming Cleanser
Lukewarm water, morning and night. A clean, even surface is most of the finish.
Step 2 · Serum
Vitamin C Serum
On clean skin, before moisturizer. Keep the bottle closed and out of direct light — vitamin C formulas degrade if left open on a sunny shelf.
Step 3 · Moisturize
Face Moisturizing Cream
Over the serum, on slightly damp skin. Hydration is doing more for the finish than anything else here.
Step 4 · Colour (optional)
Glow Highlighter — Champagne
A small amount high on the cheekbone, blended with a fingertip. Two light passes beat one heavy one.
Each product page carries its own complete ingredient list and directions. Read them there before purchasing.
Which vitamin C is actually in the bottle
Vitamin C is a family of ingredients rather than one. Our formulas use derivatives — magnesium ascorbyl phosphate, ascorbyl glucoside and sodium ascorbyl phosphate — which are more stable in a bottle than pure L-ascorbic acid. The vitamin C reference explains what that trade buys you.
Glow is mostly light, not product
A dewy finish comes from an even surface and a little reflectance. Hydration does most of that; a highlighter does the rest. Adding more steps rarely adds more glow.
Quick answers
Morning or evening for the serum?
Many people use vitamin C in the morning. Follow the directions on the product page for the formula you have.
Why has my serum turned yellow?
Oxidation, from air, light or heat. A pronounced colour change means it has degraded — replace it rather than using it faster.
Do I need the highlighter?
No. It is the optional colour step, and the routine works without it.
Where do I read the complete formula?
On each product page. Every complete ingredient list is published there — read it before purchasing.
