FAQ:

Why should I include Vitamin C in my skincare routine?
Vitamin C is a powerhouse antioxidant that supports radiant, healthier-looking skin by helping to neutralise free radicals and protect against environmental stress. As our bodies cannot naturally produce it, we rely on both dietary intake and topical application to experience its full benefits.

What sets Vita-C Glycolic Serum apart?
This serum blends Murad’s proprietary Vita-C Complex—engineered for maximum stability and effectiveness—with glycolic acid. The glycolic acid gently exfoliates to remove surface dullness, allowing the Vitamin C complex to absorb more efficiently and deliver visible skin-brightening results.

How is Murad’s Vita-C Complex different to standard Vitamin C?
Murad’s formula uses a trio of powerful Vitamin C technologies:

• Gold-stabilised L-ascorbic acid offers long-lasting antioxidant power—up to 55% more than traditional Vitamin C.

• Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate (THD) is a lipid-soluble Vitamin C derivative with excellent absorption and skin compatibility.

• Glutathione works to recycle Vitamin C in the skin, helping to sustain its protective benefits.

What does “bioavailable” mean in skincare?
Bioavailability refers to how effectively an ingredient can be absorbed and utilised by the skin. Many forms of Vitamin C degrade quickly or struggle to penetrate the skin’s barrier. Murad’s gold-stabilised complex enhances bioavailability for superior performance and results.

What is the concentration of Vitamin C in Vita-C Glycolic Serum?
Rather than focusing on percentages, Murad develops each formula with performance in mind. This serum uses proven ingredients enhanced by delivery technologies to offer visible results across multiple signs of skin ageing.

Does this serum help reduce fine lines and wrinkles?
While not designed specifically for wrinkles, Vitamin C is known to improve multiple signs of ageing, including the appearance of fine lines, due to its antioxidant protection against environmental damage.

Is a tingling sensation normal?
Yes. The glycolic acid may cause a mild tingling feeling upon application, which is completely normal and usually subsides quickly.

Can I use this serum alongside retinol products?
Yes. If you’re using retinol-based treatments like the Retinol Youth Renewal Serum or Night Cream, apply Vita-C Glycolic Serum in the morning and retinol in the evening. Always apply SPF during the day. If you experience sensitivity, reduce use or alternate days.

Can I use it with the Replenishing Multi-Acid Peel?
Yes, but it’s best to use Vita-C Glycolic Serum in the morning and the peel in the evening to avoid potential irritation. As always, apply SPF daily and adjust frequency based on your skin’s tolerance.

Is it safe to combine with Rapid Age Spot Correcting Serum?
Yes. Use Vita-C Glycolic Serum in your morning routine and apply the Rapid Age Spot Correcting Serum in the evening. This alternating method supports brightening while minimising the risk of sensitivity.

Will the serum degrade if exposed to light or air?
No. The packaging has been specifically designed to keep the formula airtight and shielded from light to prevent oxidation and maintain potency.

Can I combine it with other Murad Step 2 treatments?
We recommend using only one Step 2 treatment at a time for best results, as each formula is packed with powerful actives. Layering may not enhance benefits and could cause irritation for some skin types.

What results can I expect, and when?
Formulated with Murad’s next-generation Vita-C Complex, this serum delivers a powerful blend of three Vitamin C technologies to brighten, boost glow and protect skin. Visible improvements in skin radiance and tone can be seen in as little as one week.
