FAQ
Vita C Corrector is a waterless vitamin C booster serum from African Botanics, powered by 20% THD Ascorbate — the most stable, bio-available form of vitamin C. It's designed to brighten, even skin tone, support collagen, and protect against free radicals, with Marine Blue Micro-Algae, Marula Oil, olive squalane, and vitamin E for added antioxidant defense and smoothing.
THD Ascorbate (Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate) is the gold-standard form of vitamin C — stable, non-irritating, and oil-soluble, so it absorbs up to 50x more effectively than traditional ascorbic acid. Unlike standard vitamin C, it doesn't sting, oxidize quickly, or destabilize in light, making it ideal for sensitive skin and daily use.
Both deliver 20% vitamin C, but they're built for different roles. Vita C Corrector is a waterless booster powered by a single gold-standard form — 20% THD Ascorbate — for pure, flexible brightening you can layer into any routine. The Advanced Vitamin C + Multi-Peptides Serum is a complete all-in-one treatment that pairs two stabilized forms of vitamin C (THD Ascorbate + Ethylated L-Ascorbic Acid) with stem cell exosomes, a multi-peptide complex, bakuchiol, and niacinamide for brightening plus firming and renewal in a single step.
Choose Vita C Corrector if you want a concentrated, waterless vitamin C boost to mix into your routine or use as an intensive course. Choose the Advanced Vitamin C + Multi-Peptides Serum if you want one comprehensive serum that combines vitamin C with peptides, exosomes, and bakuchiol for added firming, renewal, and barrier support. You can also use both — the booster for a targeted antioxidant boost, the Advanced serum as your daily treatment.
Yes. THD Ascorbate is non-irritating and far gentler than traditional ascorbic acid, making it suitable for all skin types — including sensitive, dull, and uneven complexions. The formula is also free from water, fragrance, essential oils, and fillers, reducing the risk of irritation.
Apply 1–2 drops to clean, slightly damp skin after cleansing and misting — applying to moist skin helps it absorb. Use uplifting strokes over the face, neck, and décolleté, or target areas of uneven tone. Let it soak in for a few minutes, then follow with your moisturizer and/or face oil. Finish with SPF in the morning.
Because the formula is waterless and highly concentrated, applying it to slightly damp skin helps it spread evenly and absorb better. Mist or lightly dampen your face first, then press in the serum before layering your moisturizer.
Yes. Vita C Corrector can be used AM and/or PM. In the morning it adds antioxidant protection under SPF; at night it supports brightening and collagen. For an intensive boost, use it twice daily as a focused course.
A waterless formula means it's 100% active with no fillers diluting the ingredients. This keeps the vitamin C more stable and potent, and delivers a higher concentration of actives to the skin in every drop.
Yes. Vita C Corrector layers easily under your moisturizer or face oil, and can be mixed into your moisturizer to fold vitamin C into products you already use. It also pairs well with the Advanced Vitamin C + Multi-Peptides Serum — use the booster for a targeted antioxidant boost and the Advanced serum as your daily treatment. Apply it before heavier creams and oils.
Yes. Daily broad-spectrum SPF is essential with any vitamin C serum — it protects the skin from the free-radical damage vitamin C helps defend against, and preserves your brightening and even-tone results.
Many notice brighter, more radiant skin within the first couple of weeks. More even tone, improved texture, and firmness typically become visible with consistent daily use over 4 to 8 weeks.
The texture is a lightweight, fast-absorbing serum. It's completely unscented and free from added fragrance and essential oils, making it well-suited to sensitive skin.
