made to go together

Step 1: Cleanse

Explore Radical Refresh

Radical Refresh Cleans without drying out your skin and rinses clean, so the leave-on steps absorb properly.

Step 2: Boost

Protective Power

A leave-on serum built on the same base as your moisturiser, so they layer without pilling and absorb together. Adds antioxidant defense and sits under your SPF.

Step 3: Protect

Explore Daily Defense

Same base, same texture as the serum, so it sits cleanly on top instead of balling up. Formulated for long term UV protection.

the science

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is the working part of this serum. It mops up the free radicals that sun, city air and screens set off in your skin, before that damage adds up.

Gold

Gold carries the vitamin C into your skin and keeps it stable. It also revives vitamin C that has started to lose strength, so the serum keeps working instead of turning brown.

Ferulic Acid

Ferulic acid is an antioxidant in its own right, and it keeps the combination steady in daylight. Vitamin C fades fast in sunlight on its own; with ferulic acid it holds.

how to use

Apply 1-2 pumps to clean face and neck every morning, then follow with SPF. The antioxidants and sun protection work together—each makes the other more effective.

when it helps most

screen days

Prior to workdays when blue light threatens your radiance and barrier

morning city protection

Before facing urban pollution and environmental stressors during your commute or workday

pre-outdoor activity

Layer under Daily Defense before runs or walks for amplified sun protection and environmental defense that maintains your glow

hear from our community

"Same ingredients as the €150 serums (Vitamin C, E and Ferulic Acid). Fraction of the price. My skin looks brighter and I don't feel guilty buying it."

This vitamin C serum with ferulic acid provides effective skin protection and brightening. Customers said it has a "smooth texture" that "glides on beautifully" and absorbs quickly without stickiness. Many praised it as a great affordable alternative to expensive brands. The airless pump packaging prevents leaks. Most found it gentle on sensitive skin, though one customer preferred fragrance-free. Some noted slight greasiness initially or shine on forehead.

Great barrier

Feels like a solid barrier against the elements. I use it before heading out

Super zachte textuur en trekt snel in,fijn huidgevoel en niet meteen oranje zoals andere vitamine c serums

Perfect for outdoors

I spend a lot of time outside and this keeps my skin from getting irritated.

Topproduct

Heel blij mee. Doet precies wat het belooft en de service was weer super.

Fijne structuur

Smeert makkelijk uit

Beetje vet

Voelt in het begin wat vet aan, maar trekt na een paar minuten wel goed in.

A bit shiny

Leaves a slight glow on the forehead, but the protection is worth it.

Pleasant

I can actually feel the difference when I forget to put this on

Betrouwbaar

Doet wat je ervan verwacht, lekker zachte consistentie

Goede bescherming

Fijn om te weten dat mijn huid goed beschermd is. Textuur is prettig.

love it

Awesome product

Awesome product

Lovely serum

Such a lovely serum. The texture is beautiful, not sticky or drying. Leaves my skin with a nice healthy glow. Would definitely repurchase

Net zo goed

Voorheen gebruikte ik skinceuticals maar dit is net zo goed voor een fractie vd prijs. Blije huid, blije portemonnee

Pleasant to use

Very pleasant serum to use. Texture glides on, smells lovely, and my skin just looks healthier. No irritation whatsoever

Great alternative

Was looking for a CE ferulic serum but didnt want to pay crazy prices. This one is lovely, smooth texture and smells nice too

Eindelijk betaalbaar

Eindelijk een vitamine C serum met ferulic acid die niet 150 euro kost! En de textuur is ook nog eens heerlijk, niet plakkerig

Great packaging

Finally a vitamin c serum without those annoying dropper bottles. Took my old one on a trip once and it leaked everywhere in my toiletry bag. This airless pump is so much better and the serum itself is lovely too

Hello Charlotte! We're delighted to hear you love our new serum packaging. Stay tuned for more exciting products coming your way soon!

Simpel en goed

Lekker serum voor elke dag. Textuur is smooth, geur is fijn, en mijn huid ziet er gewoon beter uit. Simpel maar effectief

So smooth

The smoothest vitamin C serum Ive ever used. Doesnt sting or dry out my skin. Just leaves it looking healthy and bright

Eindelijk geen glas

Zo blij met de verpakking! Mijn vorige vit C serum had een glazen pipetflesje en die is uit mn handen gegleden op de badkamertegels. Stuk. Deze pomp is veel handiger en neem m ook mee op reis zonder stress

Fijne glow

Fijne glow na gebruik. Absorbeert snel en laat geen plakkerig laagje achter. Werkt goed onder mijn SPF

Hallo Lars! Bedankt voor het delen van je ervaring met ons product. We zijn blij te horen dat je genoten hebt van de glans die het geeft en hoe snel het intrekt. We kijken ernaar uit om je in de toekomst weer van dienst te zijn!

Love it

Really nice texture, so smooth. My skin looks healthy and glowy. Love the subtle scent too, very fresh

Niet irriterend

Niet irriterend voor mijn gevoelige huid, dat vind ik al knap voor een vit C serum. Textuur is zijdezacht en ruikt aangenaam

Liever zonder parfum

Product werkt goed en textuur is fijn, maar ik had liever gehad dat het parfumvrij was. Ben daar een beetje gevoelig voor. Verder prima serum

Hallo Ilse! We zijn blij te horen dat je ons serum effectief vindt en dat je de textuur prettig vindt. We gebruiken enkel hypoallergene parfums die getest zijn op gevoeligheid om de geur van sommige natuurlijke ingredienten te compenseren. Bedankt voor je feedback!

Luxe gevoel

Wat een fijne textuur! Glijdt zo over je huid, heel smooth. En de geur is subtiel maar echt lekker. Voelt luxe aan

first vitamin c that doesn't make me red

i have super sensitive skin and most vitamin c serums burn or make me irritated. this one is SO gentle but i still see results.

Solid

Solid vitamin c and ferulic acid serum , great for layering under the daily defense spf

Smells great!

Smells as fresh as it feels

Takes time but works

Good serum, takes a few weeks to see results but worth it. The texture is really lovely, almost like silk. Not drying at all

Zacht voor de huid

Fijne serum die niet uitdroogt. Sommige vitamine C serums voelen zo scherp aan maar deze is heel zacht. Ruikt ook lekker

Helpt tegen schermtijd

Ik zit veel achter mn laptop en merkte dat mijn huid dof werd. Dit helpt echt, huid ziet er weer stralend uit. Plus de textuur is zo fijn

Smooth and nice

Such a smooth serum. Glides on beautifully and sinks in without any sticky feeling. My skin looks more radiant after using it for a while

Ruikt heerlijk

De geur is echt fijn, niet te sterk maar wel luxueus. Textuur glijdt mooi over de huid en droogt totaal niet uit

frequently asked questions

How long does it take to see protective effects from Protective Power?

The antioxidant protection begins working immediately upon application. For visible improvements in skin radiance and protection against environmental damage, you should notice a healthier glow within 2-3 weeks of daily morning use.

Can I use Protective Power with other treatments?

Yes, Protective Power works well with other skincare. Apply after cleansing and before moisturizer and SPF. Avoid using with other vitamin C products in the same routine to prevent potential irritation from over-concentration.

What makes Protective Power's formula unique?

Protective Power features our golden trio—Vitamin C, Ferulic Acid, and Gold—working synergistically for enhanced stability and effectiveness. Gold isn't just luxury; it's a functional ingredient that enhances the bioavailability and stability of the entire antioxidant complex throughout your day.

Will this brighten my skin?

Yes. Vitamin C is proven to brighten skin tone and reduce dullness over time. You should notice a healthier glow within 2-3 weeks.

Is it vegan and cruelty-free?

Yes. Also free from parabens, sulfates, silicones, microplastics, and essential oils.

Does Protective Power contain as much Vitamin C as other serums?

No—and that's intentional. Most serums use high concentrations because Vitamin C degrades quickly. Ours is stabilized by gold particles, so it stays potent longer and absorbs deeper. Less waste, more results.

Why does this serum have a particular smell?

Our Vitamin C serum contains L-ascorbic acid and ferulic acid — two highly effective antioxidants that naturally have a subtle scent. We've added a light fragrance to soften this, but some people are more sensitive to these notes than others. The scent fades quickly after application and isn't a sign of anything wrong with the product — it's simply the nature of these active ingredients at work.
