Why Dr. Howarth recommends it
The vitamin C on the shelf, chosen because stability is the usual failing of the category. ALASTIN uses an encapsulated sodium ascorbate formulated for stability, in a non-tacky, scent-free serum.
  • Helps defend against free radical damage
  • Helps brighten and refine the look of texture
  • Reduces the appearance of redness and brown spots
  • 15 antioxidants in a non-tacky, scent-free serum

In the morning and evening after cleansing, apply 1–2 pumps to the face, then follow with moisturizer and, in the morning, sunscreen. Avoid getting in the eyes; if contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
