Details

Rooted in 35 years of dermatological expertise, Vita-C Glycolic Serum helps visibly brighten and smooth skin so you can stay ahead of visible skin concerns associated with hormonal aging.

Gold-stabilized vitamin C delivers higher antioxidant defense, is highly bioavailable for increased absorption, and ensures stability and potency of vitamin C to brighten skin. It can also help prevent visible skin damage—like hyperpigmentation, dullness, and uneven tone—that’s made more noticeable by hormonal aging.

Glycolic acid removes dead, dulling surface cells to reveal more radiant skin and help vitamin C penetrate skin more effectively.

Glycolic acid in Vita-C Glycolic Serum may produce a slight tingling sensation that is temporary and normal.

Love this wash!

"Makes face feel fresh, clean and soft. Smells amazing as well. Also reduces oiliness"

— Delahney (4/5)

"I really like this vitamin C. The scent is quite bad but it absorbs quickly without feeling heavy. When used under sunscreen, my skin doesn’t look dull or oxidized by the end of the day. It also pairs well with retinal without causing irritation. I’ve noticed a clear improvement in fading dark spots and evening out my skin tone, and I’ll definitely repurchase it"

Q&A

What is the percentage % of Vitamin C in the product?
First let me start by stating that we disclose the percentage of an ingredient only when it is an “active ingredient” in other words, an OTC (over-the-counter), FDA (Food & Drug Administration) approved ingredient. Here at Murad, as part of our Corporate policy, we do not disclose percentages in our high performance formulations as this information is considered proprietary. What I can share with you is that Dr. Murad creates formulas based on a result not a percentage. Our products are designed to treat a specific concern within the skin, keeping in mind our Whole-Person Health approach.
Can i use either the vita c serum and dark spot serum or should i just pick one ?
You can use the Vita C Glycolic Serum as your morning treatment and then the Rapid Dark Spot Correcting Serum in the evening.
How do you layer this product with copper peptides and Hyaluronic acid? Can you layer these three products together? Does the glycolic acid prevent me from using any other products with it?
You do not want to layer treatments. This prevents irritation and allows you to receive the full benefit of the treatment you are using.
After applying Vita C Glycolic, do I need to wait a certain amount of time before applying other serums, hyaluronic acid, moisturizer?
After applying the Vita C Glycolic Serum, wait and moment and then you would apply your moisturizer.
What is the difference between this product and rapid dark spot correcting serum?
A brightening serum is going to help boost overall radiance and reduce uneven tone. A dark spot correcting serum is going to lighten specific discoloration.
