FAQs

They do different jobs and work best together. The serum is a lightweight treatment you can use morning and night to deliver vitamin C and hydration. The repair crème is a richer nighttime moisturizer that seals in that hydration and nourishes dry skin while you sleep. Apply the serum first, then the crème as your final PM step.

Yes. We recommend alternating your retinol and the VITAL C repair crème on separate nights. Alternatively, you can use the crème in the morning and your retinol at night.​

We don't break our formulas down by vitamin C percentage. Very high concentrations of a single form of vitamin C can be harsh on the skin and cause the formula to oxidize. Instead, our chemists blend multiple forms of vitamin C with delivery technology, so the skin gets the benefits of vitamin C in a gentler, more stable formula.

No. The crème contains a proprietary essential oil blend for its fresh, natural aroma. In line with our clean clinical skincare standard, it's formulated without phthalates, mineral oils, and synthetic dyes.

It's designed as a nighttime repair step, applied after cleansing and your serum. Its rich texture nourishes skin while you sleep.

Yes. Extending the crème down to the neck and décolletage brings the same brightening, hydrating benefits to areas that often show dryness and early signs of aging first.

Q&A

Is this cream suitable for pregnant women?
Hello Taila we suggest seeking approval from your healthcare professional before using any skincare products while pregnant.
do you recommend that I use this at night instead of retinol or can I use both?
Hello Kathleen it would be best to alternate Retinol and the Vital C Repair Creme on separate days. You could also use the Vital C Repair Creme during the day and the Retinol at night.
I understand that you do not reveal your ingredients by percentage. Please, can you say whether the concentration of vitamin C in the Vital C Hydrating Repair Creme is more, less, or the same than in the Vital C Hydrating Serum? Thank you!
Both of these products are part of our Vital C Collection and provide wonderful hydration to the skin for a collection that is fit for all skin types. However, the difference is that the Vital C Repair Creme is more of a thicker moisturizer meant to be used at nighttime. While the Vital C Anti-Aging Serum is a serum that can be used in the morning & evening and under makeup.
Please, what is the percentage of THD ascorbate, or the overall percentage of vitamin C because you utilize a combination of vitamin C derivatives?
We do not break down our formulations by percentage of Vitamin C as this can be misleading to our customers. High percentages of Vitamin C can be irritating to the skin (especially forms such as L-ascorbic) and cause significant oxidation of the formula. To circumvent this, our chemists have blended various forms of Vitamin C along with delivery technology (for example, encapsulation) that ensure proper delivery without adverse side effects or formula degradation. This allows us to provide a superior product and result without having to use high concentrations of Vitamin C which can severely effect product esthetics and limits the use to consumers.
Is this oil free?
This product does have a proprietary essential oil blend. However, we have removed ingredients (if present) such as phthalates, mineral oil & synthetic dyes as part of our new Clean Clinical™ brand standard.
