Vitamin C, also known as Ascorbic Acid, is a powerful antioxidant for the skin. Ascorbic Acid is the true form of Vitamin C. Its derivatives haven't been proven as effective.

Ascorbic Acid is an important vitamin that's critical in the maintenance of the skin. It helps counteract free radical damage from pollution, and can help with smoothing the appearance of the skin.

While our skin does get some Ascorbic Acid via the blood, topical delivery has been shown in human clinical studies to actively increase levels of the vitamin in the skin and produce noticeable benefits.

At peak freshness, solutions of Ascorbic Acid are clear and colourless. When exposed to air and light, Ascorbic Acid begins to break down into orange and brown compounds. Formulating in a way that protects Ascorbic Acid and keeps it active is difficult: that's why the Future Focus Vitamin C Serum is so special to us.

The effects of Ascorbic Acid's breakdown compounds on the skin are not well understood. They are likely to have less benefit for the skin and diminished antioxidant effect.

We recommend using our formula in the mornings, before your choice of moisturizers and sunscreens.

Apply a few drops to the fingers or palms and smooth over the face and neck. Avoid the eyes, lips, and other sensitive areas.

Discontinue use if signs of irritation (redness, warmth, discomfort) occur.

Long-term storage

If you don't plan to use your tube right away, it's best to store it in the refrigerator.

Tube squeezer

A tube beam is complimentary with each order. The beam can be placed over the back of our dispenser to aid with squeezing.

It is best placed on the tube when it is over half empty to avoid cracking The Beam.

Water, Dimethyl Isosorbide, Ascorbic Acid, Betaine, Glycerin, Acetyl Cysteine, Sodium Lactate, Xanthan Gum, Ferulic Acid, Dimethyl Sulfone, Magnesium Chloride, Trehalose.

We are always working to improve our formulas, so the ingredients may change over time. Ingredient changes will be noted.

The dispenser, cap, and label can be recycled as HDPE type 2 plastic.

'The Beam' tube squeezer can be recycled as ABS type 7 plastic. We suggest reusing 'The Beam' with other products.

Please check your local waste and recycling guidelines for best practices.

The dispenser and cap plastics are derived from plant sugar alcohol. While the source is renewable, the dispenser and cap are plastic and are not biodegradable.

Most beauty packaging can be recycled through Terracycle and Pact Collective.

There is yellow or orange formula in the cap and nozzle

It is normal for the formula to collect in the cap over time. The formula that collects in the cap will oxidize, dry, and turn orange over time.

Both the cap and nozzle of the tube can be rinsed or soaked with water to remove a build-up of formula.

There is a lot of air in the tube

The air seal built into the nozzle can sometimes fail if the tube is overly manipulated while the cap is open. To restore function of the seal, hold the tube upside-down (with the tip facing upwards), and squeeze out any air that has come into the tube.

I can't remove my 'The Beam' tube squeezer from the tube

Removing the tube squeezer can be difficult. We recommend finishing the formula and then cutting the tube above the tube squeezer to help make removal easier.

My label is bubbling or peeling

We apologize for the cosmetic appearance; a removable label increases the chances of recycling and proper processing of our tube. Rest assured a bubbling or peeling label has no impact on the formula.
