Mad Hippie Vitamin C Serum
Award-Winning, Stable Antioxidant Formula for Brightening & Smoothing
$39.99$31.99
Mad Hippie Vitamin C Serum is an uplifting antioxidant blend formulated to brighten, tighten, and smooth the skin while reducing the visible effects of photoaging and environmental damage.1 Unlike many vitamin C serums that use unstable L-ascorbic acid, this serum features Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (SAP), a highly stable, oxidation-resistant form of vitamin C that is less prone to causing irritation.2
Core Benefits & Research Focus
The serum utilizes "8 actives" to target aging and sun-damaged skin:3
Brightening & Evening Tone: Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is clinically proven to reduce the appearance of discoloration and even out skin tone.4
Wrinkle Reduction: The combination of Vitamin C and Vitamin E helps to smooth the skin and minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.5
Environmental Protection: Ferulic Acid boosts the antioxidant effects of Vitamins C and E, neutralizing free radicals and shielding skin from environmental pollutants.6
Hydration & Plumping: Hyaluronic Acid and Glycerin attract moisture to the skin surface, increasing a "plumped up" look.7
Skin Balancing: Clary Sage helps balance sebum production, making the serum suitable for both overly dry and overly oily/acne-prone skin.8
