Gentle Radiance Vitamin C Layering Trio

Three complementary treatments. Two forms of Vitamin C. One beautifully balanced routine.

Not all Vitamin C skincare works the same way.

Traditional L-ascorbic acid serums are often formulated at a low pH, which can be uncomfortable for sensitive skin. Vitamin C can also be vulnerable to oxidation, depending on its form and formulation.

At Flourish, we take a different approach: combining pure Vitamin C in a water-activated powder, an oil-soluble Vitamin C derivative in a nourishing balm, and antioxidant-rich botanical oils.

The result is a thoughtful, three-step ritual designed to support radiance, softness, and healthy-looking skin.

Did you take our Vitamin C matching challenge?

Here are your answers!

1. Pure Ascorbic Acid → B. The direct form of Vitamin C, delivered in a dry powder.

Found in our Illuminating Powder, pure ascorbic acid stays dry until you activate the cleanser with water. This avoids some of the stability challenges associated with water-based Vitamin C formulations.

Combined with oat, rice, strawberry, papaya, and marshmallow root, this creamy powder gently cleanses and helps refresh dull-looking skin.

2. Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate → A. An oil-soluble Vitamin C derivative.

Found in our award-winning Double C Brightening Balm, this Vitamin C derivative is incorporated into an oil-based treatment alongside squalane, jojoba, pomegranate seed oil, and botanical extracts.

It provides an alternative to the low-pH approach commonly used in pure ascorbic acid serums.

3. Botanical Seed Oils → C. Antioxidant-rich nourishment without an added Vitamin C active.

Our Luminous Liquid combines pomegranate, blueberry, strawberry, raspberry, rosehip, and sea buckthorn oils with jojoba and other botanical ingredients.

These oils help soften and condition skin while contributing naturally occurring plant antioxidants.

The secret isn't simply using more Vitamin C. It's choosing complementary formulas that work beautifully together.
