Description

20% ascorbic acid works overnight to resurface dull skin, fade dark spots, and refine pores — so you wake up to a brighter, more even complexion.

20% Ascorbic Acid Skin Peel Serum—professional-strength brightening and resurfacing in one bottle

Solves
  • Large pores
  • Dull complexion
  • Uneven skin tone
  • Fine lines and wrinkles

Professional-strength brightening becomes your nightly ritual

Dull, uneven skin used to mean expensive facials just to look awake again. Now 20% ascorbic acid does the resurfacing while you sleep.

Three actives, one resurfacing effect

20% ascorbic acid, peel-strength

A concentration high enough to resurface and brighten, delivered in light-blocking amber glass to preserve potency claim. This is the same percentage used in professional peels, fine-tuned for nightly use. The golden serum oxidizes far slower inside the dark glass, so you get full potency from first drop to last.

Ingredient benefit cards with Vitamin C, Niacinamide, Hyaluronic Acid

Niacinamide for tone and pores

Niacinamide works alongside vitamin C to visibly minimize pores and even out discoloration over time. It dials back oil production where needed and strengthens the skin barrier, so the 20% ascorbic acid hits harder without throwing skin's balance into chaos.

Hyaluronic acid locks in moisture

Prevents the dryness and irritation typically associated with high-strength vitamin C by deeply hydrating skin. It pulls water in, keeping skin plump and comfortable even as the 20% ascorbic acid goes to work. Think of it as the buffer that makes professional strength feel gentle.

A dropper built for precision

Childproof cap and black pipette dropper allow controlled, consistent dosing night after night. No guessing — one squeeze delivers roughly four drops, exactly what skin needs. The dark bottle and airtight seal protect the formula between uses.

The numbers that matter

  • 20%ascorbic acid concentration
  • 30mlglass dropper bottle size
  • ~60 daysof nightly use per bottle

How four drops become a routine

  1. 1
    Cleanse and dry

    Wash your face with a gentle cleanser and pat dry completely. Wait a minute until skin feels tight and taut — no water residue.

  2. 2
    Dispense four drops

    Squeeze the pipette bulb to draw serum into the dropper, then release exactly 3-4 drops onto your fingertips. Avoid the dropper touching skin to keep the bottle sterile.

  3. 3
    Press, don't rub

    Gently press and pat the serum across your face and neck, steering clear of the eye area. Let it absorb for 60 seconds before the next step.

  4. 4
    Seal with moisturizer

    Follow with your nighttime moisturizer to lock in the actives. This also creates a comforting buffer if your skin is still adjusting.

  5. 5
    Morning SPF is mandatory

    Vitamin C raises skin's photosensitivity awareness. Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher the next morning to protect your results.

From dull and tired to lit-from-within

  1. 1
    The mirror that stopped feeling kind

    That moment under harsh bathroom light when every enlarged pore and brown spot stares back. Dullness settles in, makeup sits patchy, and the day's first glance already carries a sigh. It's not dramatic — it's the quiet erosion of confidence that comes from skin that looks tired even when you're not.

  2. 2
    When drugstore serums weren't enough

    The 5% vitamin C in a clear bottle oxidized before halfway — turned brown and stopped working. The 10% one tingled but left texture unchanged. Box after box, bottle after bottle, the same conclusion: weak actives in unstable packaging can't deliver the resurfacing skin actually needs. The alternative was an in-office peel at $200 a session, not exactly a nightly habit.

  3. 3
    A peel-strength serum, in a bottle you control

    20% ascorbic acid, the same concentration dermatologists trust for in-office resurfacing — now in a light-blocking amber glass dropper bottle on your bathroom shelf. Add niacinamide to calm and refine pores, hyaluronic acid to flood skin with moisture so there's no itch-and-peel panic. Four drops at night replace the clinic visit with a ritual you own.

  4. 4
    Brighter by the week, firmer by the month

    The first week, skin feels smoother — thanks to hyaluronic acid, not just hopeful thinking. By week four, the dull cast lifts, pores look less obvious, and the mirror catches a healthier tone. Month two, the fine lines around eyes that used to catch concealer seem softer, spots fading into the background. It becomes the glow that arrives without apology — and stays.

Your skin, week by week

  1. Day 1
    Immediate hydration

    Hyaluronic acid delivers a plumping effect right away. Skin looks dewy, feels soft. Any tightness from the strength is mild and temporary.

  2. Week 2
    Texture shift begins

    Pores appear less visible, and skin feels smoother to the touch. The slight flaking phase is brief; moisturizer manages it.

  3. Week 4
    Tone starts evening

    Dullness lifts noticeably. Skin looks more awake, less blotchy. Makeup applies more evenly over a consistent surface.

  4. Month 2
    Brightness sets in

    The overall complexion appears brighter and more uniform. Friends may ask if you've changed your skincare.

  5. Month 3
    Firmer, fainter spots

    With consistent nightly use, fine lines around eyes seem softened and sun spots noticeably lighter. The glow now feels like skin's own.

Questions and answers

Is 20% ascorbic acid too strong for sensitive or first-time vitamin C users?
w
Wanelo · seller

It's a high concentration — the same used in professional peels — so a break-in period is smart. Start with 2-3 drops every other night for the first two weeks, then gradually move to nightly. The hyaluronic acid helps buffer irritation. If your skin typically reacts to strong actives, patch test first.

Will this serum oxidize and turn brown or lose potency like other vitamin C products?
w
Wanelo · seller

Oxidation happens mainly from light and air exposure. The amber glass bottle blocks UV light, and the dropper cap creates an airtight seal. When stored in a cool, dark place, the serum stays golden — not brown. Most users finish the bottle well before any noticeable change.

Can I use this with retinol or other actives in my routine?
w
Wanelo · seller

Yes, but not in the same application. Use this serum at night and retinol on alternate nights, or apply retinol in the morning and this at night. Layering strong actives simultaneously can cause redness or peeling. Avoid benzoyl peroxide at the same time as it can oxidize vitamin C.

How is this different from an in-office chemical peel?
w
Wanelo · seller

In-office peels use 20-30% ascorbic acid but are applied by a professional with controlled downtime. This serum delivers the same active strength in an at-home format designed for nightly use. Over weeks, the cumulative effect rivals a single peel — with less discomfort and a much lower price per use.

Does the amber glass bottle actually prevent the vitamin C from degrading?
w
Wanelo · seller

Yes. Vitamin C degrades when exposed to light, especially UV. Dark amber glass filters out the wavelengths that cause oxidation. Combined with the airtight dropper closure, it keeps the ascorbic acid stable far longer than a clear or transparent bottle ever could.

How long will one 30ml bottle last with nightly use?
w
Wanelo · seller

With 3-4 drops per application, one bottle lasts around 60 days. That's two months of professional-strength exfoliation for roughly the cost of a single specialist facial — and without the commute.
