HOW TO USE

If you’re new to Vitamin C, start by using the serum every other day or a few times a week. As your skin builds tolerance, gradually increase to daily use.

WHAT'S HPP?

HPP (High Pressure Processing) is the cold-pressure biotech we use to preserve powerful nutrients without heat or harsh chemicals. Using pressure that’s over 6x stronger than the deepest part of the ocean (yes, really!), it eliminates harmful microbes while protecting the integrity of active ingredients — so your skin gets everything it needs, in its most potent, effective form.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the Brighten + Glow Vitamin C Serum color golden, not berry colored?

The golden hue comes from our 15% L-ascorbic acid (a highly potent and pure form of Vitamin C) combined with the natural tone of other antioxidant-rich ingredients like our BioBerry Infusion™. Although the formula is berry-powered, it’s not berry-colored, because:

  • L-ascorbic acid itself is light in color
  • We use no artificial colorants
  • The serum’s golden tint signals freshness and purity

So don’t expect a red or purple product - this golden glow means serious brightening is on the way.

What is a purge (why is my skin having a reaction to Vitamin C)?

A "purge" happens when your skin starts to accelerate cell turnover in response to active ingredients like Vitamin C, retinoids, or exfoliating acids. This can temporarily bring under-the-surface congestion (like microcomedones or clogged pores) to the surface faster, which may look like:

  • Small breakouts
  • Redness or mild irritation
  • Uneven texture

Can you use the Brighten + Glow Vitamin C Serum around your eyes?

Yes - with care. The Brighten + Glow Serum is formulated to be gentle and non-sensitizing, but the skin around the eyes is thin and more reactive, so we recommend:

  • Using a tiny amount, gently patted around the orbital bone (not directly on lids or under-eyes)
  • Avoiding if skin is currently irritated or undergoing other active treatments
  • Following with a moisturizer, cream, or eye cream if needed for added cushioning

If you’re new to Vitamin C, patch-test near the eye area before regular use.

What are the main benefits of the Brighten + Glow Vitamin C Serum?

This serum is a multitasking brightener + protector + plumper that delivers:

  • Brighter, more even skin tone by reducing the look of dark spots and hyperpigmentation
  • Broad-spectrum antioxidant protection from our BioBerry Infusion™, defending against pollution, UV, and stress
  • Deep hydration and visible plumping
  • Smooth, radiant texture from boosted collagen support and cell renewal

It’s your daily glow-up in a bottle, powered by science-backed skin nutrition.

How and when should I use the Brighten + Glow Vitamin C Serum?

Use once daily in the morning, after cleansing and before moisturizing:

  1. Apply to clean, slightly damp skin
  2. Dispense 1–2 pumps and gently press into face and neck
  3. Follow with moisturizer and SPF (a must when using Vitamin C!)
  4. For reactive skin, start every other day and build up

It can also be used in the evening if you're not layering other actives like retinol.

How should I store my Brighten + Glow Vitamin C Serum for peak potency?

Vitamin C is sensitive to light and air, so for maximum shelf life:

  • Keep it in a cool, dark place (like a drawer or cabinet - no steamy bathrooms)
  • For even better results, store in the refrigerator. 

Our formula is packaged in UV-protected, airless packaging to help maintain its potency over time.

What makes HPPY’s Brighten + Glow Vitamin C Serum different from other Vitamin C?

What sets us apart is our whole-formula approach to brightness, radiance, and skin protection:

  • 15% L-ascorbic acid for clinically backed brightening and collagen support
  • Our patented BioBerry Infusion™ for full-spectrum antioxidant support—preserved via High Pressure Processing (HPP) for maximum bioactivity
  • Formulated with skin-compatible ingredients—no parabens, silicones, synthetic fragrance, or harsh alcohols
  • A lightweight, non-sticky texture that layers seamlessly under other skincare and makeup

It’s not just about lightening spots - it’s about supporting your skin’s full glow potential, from cell to surface.
