So why create another?

But not everyone can handle such a potent formula from the start.

The new C-Luma Hydrabright Serum is the gentler alternative.

Think of this new category as the ideal way for someone to introduce vitamin C into their routine.

“The formula includes hydration-boosting ingredients and has a unique, lightweight water-serum texture,” explains Masterson.

Masterson shares that C-Luma’s shelf life is three years unopened and 12 months after the first use.

So no need to worry, you have plenty of time to finish the whole bottle!

Start by cleansing your face, then apply one pump to dry skin.

The only Drunk Elephant formula to avoid pairing it with is C-Firma.

“Use C-Firma during the daytime and C-Luma at night,” she says.

Its a winner!"

Any product with a high percentage of actives or acids has always given me pause.

The texture is very lightweight and almost creamy.

I like to use antioxidant products as part of my morning routine.

My first few times using the product I did experience some light tingling but nothing that caused any concern.

I recommend this formula to anyone looking for a beginner-friendly vitamin C serum. "
