description

This water-light formula contains 15% Vitamin C & extra antioxidants to give a healthy glow, even and firm the skin.

The disadvantage of pure Vitamin C is that it is super unstable, and hard to formulate with. This formula uses a low pH and extra antioxidants to help to stabilize Vitamin C, but even like this, C-Glow comes with a relatively short, 8 months shelf-life. 

The official shelf life of C-Glow is 8 months from production, unopened. To ensure maximum freshness, we manufacture small batches of C-Glow every week. On average, by the time a C-Glow reaches our customers it is about 2-4 weeks “old”.  To minimize oxidation & maximize freshness, we recommend storing it in the fridge, where it stays fresh even beyond its official 8 months shelf life. If going to the fridge every day for your C-Glow does not sound comfortable, we recommend to use this 10 ml mini bottle. You can easily decant a few weeks worth of C-Glow into it, and store the mini bottle in the bathroom, while having the C-Glow bottle in the fridge. Click here for the C-Glow mini bottle.  

who is it for?

Everyone looking for a light-textured, pure Vitamin C + extra antioxidants formula. However, if you have sensitive, redness-prone skin, we do not recommend C-Glow due to its low pH and high pure acid content. 
Skin type
all skin types except for sensitive 
Skin problem
dark spots, aging, dull and uneven skin
Texture
fast absorbing, water-like, weightless liquid

how to use

Apply a few drops to the face after cleansing, before using other serums and/or creams. Ideal to use in the AM, but can be applied in the PM as well. As the C-Glow formula is water-like, we recommend putting a drop directly onto your face and quickly pat it on with your other hand.

Shelf life: 8 months from production (unopened), 3 months PAO (period after opening).

A new favorite of mine. I added extra ingredients to it, and it didn’t mess up the pH! I cannot believe it didn’t oxidize in the fridge. Amazing.

La vit C par excellence !

C’est le meilleur actif de G&G et la meilleure vit C sur le marché !
15% de vit C pure (et non de dérivé) qui pique à peine ma peau sensible et pénètre très rapidement. Je l’utilise tous les matins en étape 1 de ma routine, sur une peau propre et ensuite j applique la crème solaire 50. Ma peau est sublime, radieuse et lumineuse ! J’utilise aussi le Retinal 1% et 2% un soir sur 2 ce qui aide aussi au maintien d’une peau jeune et rebondie (pour info j’ai 45 ans et on me dit souvent que j’en fais 10 de moins …). Excellent produit à essayer et à adopter au quotidien (l’assiduité est la clé si vous voulez des résultats sur le LT).

Très bon rapport qualité prix. Intégrée sans pb ds ma routine. Je la mélange au Calm Down pour plus d'efficacité. Je la conserve au frigo et j'ai acheté le petit flacon pour l'emporter en vacances. Très satisfaite aussi de la rapidité de livraison, fraîcheur garantie
