ALASTIN Skincare C-RADICAL Defense Face Serum (1 oz) — Encapsulated Vitamin C, Lightweight Hydration for Brighter, Smoother Skin

ALASTIN C-RADICAL Defense Face Serum is a clinically proven, encapsulated Vitamin C serum formulated to hydrate, defend against free radicals, and help promote a brighter, more even-looking complexion.

Powered by a proprietary encapsulated form of sodium ascorbate and a blend of 14 supportive agents, this lightweight face serum targets visible signs of aging while helping skin retain elastin and build resilience against environmental stressors. It's designed for daily use under moisturizers or sunscreen and aims to refine texture, reduce the look of fine lines and brown spots, and improve overall luminosity without heaviness.

How does ALASTIN C-RADICAL defend skin from environmental stressors?

The serum's encapsulated Vitamin C delivers antioxidant activity to neutralize free radicals on the skin’s surface, while the supporting matrix of 14 agents helps preserve elastin. Encapsulation stabilizes sodium ascorbate so it remains effective on application, offering targeted defense where it's needed.

• Encapsulated sodium ascorbate for stabilized antioxidant delivery
• 14 complementary ingredients that support elastin conservation
• Lightweight texture suitable for layering under sunscreen

Will this serum help with fine lines, uneven tone, and texture?

Regular use can help reduce the visible appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, photodamage and uneven pigmentation by supporting collagen stimulation and promoting clearer surface tone. Results depend on consistent application and your overall skincare routine but are supported by clinical testing and industry recognition.

• Targets fine lines and wrinkles through collagen support
• Helps diminish redness and brown spots for a more even appearance
• Refines skin texture for a smoother, brighter finish

How should I incorporate C-RADICAL into my daily skincare routine?

Apply a few drops of serum to clean, dry skin in the morning and evening before moisturizer. Because it layers well, you can follow with hydrating creams or broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day to maximize protection and benefits.

• Use after cleansing and toning, before moisturizer
• Morning use pairs with sunscreen for environmental protection
• Evening use supports overnight skin renewal and repair

Is this product suitable for sensitive or aging skin?

Formulated to be gentle yet effective, the encapsulated Vitamin C and supportive agents are intended to offer visible improvements without heavy irritation for many users. Patch testing is recommended for very sensitive skin, and adjustments to frequency can help minimize potential irritation.

• Gentle, lightweight formulation suitable for many skin types
• Patch test advised for very reactive or sensitive skin
• Reduce frequency if you experience temporary sensitivity
