Why This Formula Matters
I.
20% VITAMIN C. DUAL-FORM. STABILIZED.
THD Ascorbate and Ethylated L-Ascorbic Acid provide two complementary forms of Vitamin C for sustained antioxidant and brightening activity. Micro-encapsulation helps preserve potency and optimize delivery for visibly clearer, more luminous skin.
II.
FIVE SIGNAL PEPTIDES. ONE NEUROPEPTIDE.
A precision peptide complex supports the proteins associated with firmness and elasticity while helping soften the visible appearance of expression lines. Skin appears denser, smoother and more structurally refined over time.
III.
PLANT-DERIVED EXOSOMES. CELLULAR COMMUNICATION.
Plant-derived Stem Cell Exosomes and Citrus Stem Cells support the skin's natural renewal processes, while Superoxide Dismutase, Ferulic Acid, Resveratrol and CoQ10 reinforce antioxidant defense against environmental stress.
IV.
BIO-ADAPTIVE BOTANICALS. SOUTH AFRICAN ORIGIN.
Marula, Rooibos and Resurrection Plant bring antioxidant, replenishing and protective phytonutrients to the architecture of the formula—connecting advanced biotechnology with African Botanics' distinctive botanical intelligence.

FAQ
Advanced Vitamin C + Multi-Peptides Serum is a regenerative brightening and antioxidant treatment designed to visibly improve skin tone, enhance radiance, and protect the skin from environmental aging.
