How to use

  1. Clean skin

    Apply 1–2 pumps in the morning, after cleansing.

  2. Moisturize

  3. Protect

    Finish with SPF. Vitamin C and sunscreen do different jobs — use both.

From Tami

I’ve always loved vitamin C for the glow it brings, but traditional ascorbic acid can be too much for reactive skin. With Bright Side I wanted those benefits with the barrier in mind, so I chose two complementary forms of vitamin C and paired them with a brightening peptide and carefully chosen botanicals. I wanted a serum you’d look forward to every morning.

Before you start

Why two forms of vitamin C?

Oil-soluble THD ascorbate and water-soluble 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid provide complementary brightness and antioxidant support.

Does it use L-ascorbic acid?

No. It uses two vitamin C derivatives, selected with reactive skin and barrier care in mind.

Does it replace sunscreen?

No. Finish your morning routine with a separate broad-spectrum SPF.

What can I layer with it?

Pair it with Ramblin Rose for lightweight hydration, or follow with Nature + Nurture when your skin wants extra nourishment. Finish your morning routine with SPF.
