Description
Description
IOPE’s Vitamin C Expert 25% Antioxidant Toning Serum is a high-potency antioxidant serum designed to brighten, firm, and smooth the skin. By combining 25% pure vitamin C with Penta Active technology—glythione, ferulic acid, and three vitamin C derivatives—the formula aims to maximize stability and effectiveness while delivering a luminous complexion. A light infusion of a polyhydroxy acid (PHA) helps refine texture, and the oil-free base ensures quick absorption without leaving a greasy feel. Clinically, users may notice improved radiance and firmness after one use, with continued brightening and evenly toned skin over time. To preserve the pure Vitamin C blend and slow oxidation, refrigeration is recommended.
How to use
How to use
After cleansing and toning, smooth a couple of drops of the serum over your face and let it absorb. To maintain the efficacy of this pure Vitamin C blend and delay oxidation, store the bottle in the fridge. Follow with your regular moisturizer or sunscreen as part of your daily routine.

Sunscreen & SPF Products in Canada
Unfortunately due to regulations by Health Canada we are unable to offer any Korean sunscreen or SPF products to Canadian customers.
We are working with Health Canada to obtain Federal approval for these items, but it's a lengthy process.

Why does my product look different from the photos on your site?
Why does my product look different from the photos on your site?
Korean beauty brands update their formulas and packaging regularly - sometimes several times a year - and these changes often happen faster than we can update every listing. We do our best to keep product pages current, but what you receive may have a newer formulation or updated packaging. The core product and its function remain the same. If you'd like to verify what's currently in stock before ordering, reach out to us at info@kbeauti.ca and we'll confirm for you.
