C Glow – Vitamin C Brightening Serum

C Glow is Beautefire’s Vitamin C serum. It uses 10% 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, a stabilised form of Vitamin C that is known for being gentler than plain ascorbic acid, together with Sodium Hyaluronate for hydration and Vitamin E (Tocopherol), an antioxidant that works alongside Vitamin C.

Vitamin C is used in the morning to brighten dull skin, even out tone and add antioxidant support under your sunscreen. C Glow is a light, fast-absorbing serum in a 30 ml bottle; 2–3 drops are enough for face and neck.

C Glow is a good fit if your skin is:

• Dull or tired-looking, for example after long days in air-conditioning, heat, dust or city smog.
• Uneven in tone, with light dark spots or marks that you want to brighten.
• Sensitive to “strong” Vitamin C serums that tingle or sting – C Glow is made as a gentle formula (patch test first) and many reviewers say it did not burn.
• New to Vitamin C and looking for a simple first serum.

Skin types: Described by Beautefire as suitable for all skin types, including oily and combination skin. If your skin is sensitive, patch test first and start every second day. As with any active, patch test first.

Who should be careful: Skip C Glow on broken or irritated skin. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a skin condition, ask your doctor or dermatologist before adding an active serum. Vitamin C works best with daily sunscreen; it does not replace it.

• Brightens dull, tired-looking skin – the main job of a morning Vitamin C serum.
• Helps even tone and soften the look of dark spots, including sun-related spots, with consistent use.
• Antioxidant support to use alongside your sunscreen.
• Hydrates – plumps rather than tightens.
• Gentle formula – made for beginners (patch test first).
• Light enough to wear under makeup.

Full ingredient list as supplied by Beautefire; the carton shows the official order. C Glow is described by Beautefire as containing 10% stabilised Vitamin C (3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid).

1. Cleanse your face and pat it dry.
2. Apply 2–3 drops to face (and neck if you like) and press in gently until absorbed.
3. Follow with moisturiser, then sunscreen.
4. Use every morning for best results.

Tip: Vitamin C in the morning and Alpha Arbutin at night is the split we recommend for dark spots. If a serum ever feels uncomfortable, use it every second day for a week before going daily.

Sunscreen goes after your serum and moisturiser, never before. Buying two or more Beautefire products? See the bundle builder for the current multi-buy offers.

• First days: skin often feels smoother and fresher in the morning; some customers describe an instant glow.
• Weeks 3–4: our guidance is that brighter, more luminous skin and a more even complexion usually show by about this time with consistent daily use.
• Longer term: dark spots and uneven tone improve slowly; keep up the routine and the sunscreen.

Several reviewers report noticing brightness within 10 days to 2 weeks. That is their experience, not a guarantee. C Glow is a cosmetic serum for brightness and tone; it does not treat medical skin conditions.

• Patch test first on the inner forearm for 24 hours.
• A very mild tingle can happen with any Vitamin C. Stop if it burns or leaves lasting redness.
• Vitamin C products can slowly darken over time with air and light; keep the cap tight and store away from sunlight and heat.
• Do not use at the same step as strong exfoliating acids or retinol unless a dermatologist has told you how.
