Brightening Boost Vitamin C Power Serum
10% pure L-Ascorbic Acid + Quadruple Hyaluronic Acid. Brightens tone, fades sun damage.
Most clinical serums lose potency the moment they're bottled in water. Exponent keeps active ingredients dry and activates them fresh at your sink — so your skin gets the full clinical dose, not the leftovers.

Huge improvement in my skin tone using this daily — and that's after ditching SkinCeuticals C serum. Completely worth the cost, even as a skincare minimalist.
I noticed a change within days… but the real miracle is that my husband noticed TOO! This is my forever Vit C.
Within a week my sunspots lightened… my skin is clearer and brighter. I won't use anything else — and trust me, I've tried everything.
Pre-mixed actives oxidize on the shelf — losing potency before they ever touch your skin. That's why so many "clinical" serums turn orange and stop working.
Exponent keeps anti-aging ingredients in their most potent dry state, sealed until the second you activate them with our hyaluronic acid serum. Every dose is a day-one dose.

Real potency and visible change, without the irritation, oxidation, and overflowing cabinet.

Percentage trumps perception. Every Exponent serum goes through full, measured clinical testing.
of subjects had a decrease in fine lines and wrinkles in 1 week
of subjects had an increase in skin firmness in 4 weeks
of subjects had increased brightness and reduced discoloration in 4 weeks
Independent clinical facility, multi-week study, 28 female subjects. Evaluated with VISIA Image Analysis Pro, lesion counting with a board-certified dermatologist and trained technician.
If you've been searching for clinical skincare that actually works, here's what sets Exponent apart.
Actives stay in dry form until you activate them — so they never oxidize in the bottle like pre-mixed serums do.
You apply the strength on the label — not a diluted version that's been sitting on a shelf for months.
Skipping artificial shelf life means skipping the harsh stabilizers that make traditional clinical serums sting and redden.
Activated with a Quadruple Hyaluronic Acid Serum — four weights of HA that deeply hydrate as the actives work.
Stamp, pump, mix. Every application delivers an exact dose for visible results — no guessing, no waste.
Free of fragrance, parabens, phthalates, dyes and alcohol. Cruelty-free, B Corp certified, refillable by design.
If dermatologist-strength actives have left your skin red, tight or breaking out before, the culprit was likely the stabilizers — not the actives. Fresh activation makes irritation unnecessary.
My face had irritated redness with breakouts. This serum eliminated the redness, the breakouts stopped, and the remaining marks are fading. None of the typical dryness.

Potency you can count on. Traditional serums pre-mix actives in liquid, where they oxidize and weaken on the shelf. Exponent keeps clinical-strength actives in dry form and activates them fresh with hyaluronic acid at every use — so every dose delivers full strength, verified by measured clinical testing.
Yes — it was formulated for it. Because the actives are activated fresh, we don't need the harsh stabilizers that commonly cause stinging and redness in pre-mixed serums. Formulas are also free of fragrance, alcohol, parabens, phthalates and dyes.
In independent clinical testing of Brightening Boost, 100% of subjects saw a decrease in fine lines and wrinkles within 1 week, and brightening of sunspots and discoloration was measured within 1–2 weeks. Firmness improvements were measured at 4 weeks.
Three steps: stamp the active powder into your palm for a precise dose, pump the hyaluronic acid hydrator on top, then mix with a fingertip and apply. Use in the morning on clean, damp skin, under moisturizer or SPF.
Yes. An independent clinical facility ran a multi-week study in which subjects were evaluated with VISIA Image Analysis Pro and lesion counting by a board-certified dermatologist and trained technician.
