    10% Vitamin C + 1% Alpha Arbutin Serum

    7.4/ 10

    Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is a gentler, more stable vitamin C derivative than L-ascorbic acid — expect gentler, more gradual brightening.

      Been buying this for over a year — still my go-to, and I've tried plenty of alternatives since.

      Is this suitable for dark marks skin or would it be overkill?

      Tested this through a full Rustenburg winter and it kept my skin comfortable the whole way through.

      Clinically, Aloe Ferox at this level is reasonable for most skin types. Don't expect overnight change — that's not how this works.
