When it comes to finding the perfect vitamin C serum, texture is paramount for so many of us. There are the more liquidy ones that can feel a bit greasy, there are the silicone-based ones that can feel slippery, and then there’s RéVive Clarté Vitamin C Brightening Serum. Here’s more on the brightening formula we can’t get enough of for better skin.
The Benefits
In a league of its own when it comes to luxury and science, this serum features a dual-chamber delivery system to separate its two formulas in order to maintain the integrity of the ingredients. The first chamber contains 15-percent pure L-ascorbic acid, which is one of the most potent forms of vitamin C on the market. Vitamin C is a critical skin-care ingredient for supporting collagen production in the skin. It also helps enhance skin cell turnover, which pushes dull skin cells out to make room for brighter, healthier ones.
The second chamber contains a milky, hydration-rich serum that’s brimming with 4-D hyaluronic acid. Other key ingredients in this formula are soothing green tea and thermal water, and the brand’s signature Bio-Renewal Peptide. Born out of Nobel Prize-winning research by founder and plastic surgeon Dr. Gregory Brown, this peptide complex is a powerful skin rejuvenator that helps skin look more youthful.
When you squeeze out the serum from the tube, the two formulas combine to create the ultimate skin-perfecting cocktail. RéVive was first-to-market with this delivery system, which has since been mimicked by other brands. Together, the benefits of each formula include reduced discoloration, brighter skin, and decreased fine lines and wrinkles.
Key Ingredients
Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid), 4-D hyaluronic acid, green tea, glycerin, licorice root extract, and the brand’s signature Bio-Renewal Peptide
The Clinical Testing
In an independent clinical research study, 100 percent of participants agreed their skin looked brighter and more luminous after four weeks. All users also agreed the serum diminished skin discolorations, including age spots. They also reported their skin tone was more even, with improved brightness, clarity and skin texture as well. And if that weren’t enough, it was unanimous that fine lines and wrinkles looked diminished, and skin felt firmer and plumper.
How to Use It
Apply the serum morning and night to clean skin. You only need a pea-size amount of serum from each chamber to cover your full face and jawline area. I love that the two formulas blend together seamlessly without any unwanted residue. The brand also includes a “key” accessory with the serum (as pictured above), which is meant to help dispense the product. Place the “key” over the top of package and gently slide down to evenly dispense product from both tubes. You may have also seen these keys alongside aluminum-tube products and toothpastes.
