INGREDIENTS
Vitamin C
BENEFITS
Brightens dark spots, boosts collagen, helps smooth wrinkles, promotes healing, and diminishes scars.
WHY WE LOVE IT
“Vitamin C is such a lauded ingredient for its brightening properties, but it’s so precious and degrades rapidly. This was one of the first serums we formulated to test out our self-activated form factor and show that we could deliver peak potency consistently in every…single…dose.” — Liz Whitman, Founder
OPTIMAL CONCENTRATION
10% L-Ascorbic Acid. 5% is clinically proven to have a moderate benefit, so we’re confident that 10% will bring out your bright side.
Hyaluronic Acid
BENEFITS
Replenishes cell moisture, reduces appearance of wrinkles, accelerates wound healing, and helps skin appear plumper, dewier, and more hydrated.
4 MOLECULAR WEIGHTS
High Molecular Sodium Hyaluronate forms a protective yet light film on the skin surface to prevent water loss, and leaves a smooth even layer on skin.
Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate has a smaller molecular weight and absorbs more deeply into the surface layers of the skin to plump and restore the skin from within. This deeper hydration helps ensure “actives” get to where they need to be and also helps with lines and wrinkles itself.
Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate is both hydrophilic and lipophilic which increases skin affinity and “anchors” to skin, which also helps ensure the “actives” work more efficiently and over time and boosts elasticity itself.
Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer is cross-linked to act like a “sponge” or “reservoir” for continuous hydration and longer-lasting overall benefits.
Usage
With
Brightening Boost is best used in the morning. Apply to clean, damp skin and layer underneath moisturizer or SPF.
How
Your serum is activated when fully dissolved, about 15 seconds of combining the Active Powder with the Hydrator.
EASY MIX & MATCHING
Active Powders can be used interchangeably in our Activator with the same Hydrator so you can mix and match your AM and PM routine easily.
How it Works
1
Dose it
Remove Rubber Cap from Dispenser. Place your Globe + Dispenser onto the Bowl with the Dispenser side down. Gently push the Globe down and twist clockwise. You will hear a few small clicks—then a “thunk” at about 90 degrees.
2
Whip it
Lift Globe to reveal 1 dose of liquid and 2 piles of powder. Whip it for about 5 seconds until it transforms into a light cream-gel serum. Scoop out all the good stuff and apply to your face and neck.
3
Clean it
Your Bowl can be quickly wiped with a tissue between uses or it can be rinsed and left to air dry.
REVIEWS
Vitamin c
What does vitamin C do?
Vitamin C is considered the holy grail to most skin concerns. While vitamin C is known to improve skin’s overall brightness, it also evens skin tone and texture, offsets photodamage, and boosts collagen.
How do I apply vitamin C serum to my face?
After activating your Superior Serum, scoop out the product and apply liberally to your face and neck.
When should I apply vitamin C serum?
Apply your vitamin C serum after cleansing the skin. Follow with a moisturizer or SPF.
Can you apply Vitamin C serum at night?
Yes, during the night your skin is in a repairing mode, and applying vitamin C helps boost its regenerative state while building up the antioxidant defense for the next day.
Can you use vitamin C serum everyday?
We encourage you to use vitamin C daily to reap all of its skin-glowing benefits. Because our vitamin C is produced to prevent irritation, you can use it twice a day, once in your AM and PM routine. If you have sensitive skin, we recommend applying it once a day every other day to start, then gradually move to 1x a day, then up to 2x a day.
Is it normal to feel tingling when using Exponent serums?
Yes, you may feel a light tingling. Do not worry, this means the actives in the serum are working.
Is there a transition period when switching to Vitamin C?
For those with sensitive skin, it’s best to start off with vitamin C once a day, every other day, and work up to 2x a day as tolerated.
How is vitamin C made?
Vitamin C is naturally found in many fruits and vegetables. When used for skincare, vitamin C is synthesized in a lab for purity and consistency.
What should I avoid using when using vitamin C?
Never mix vitamin C with AHAs and BHAs. Such a combination might be too active and cause sensitivity or irritations. Also, you shouldn't layer vitamin C with benzoyl peroxide as it may lower the efficacy of vitamin C.
Superior Serum, Active Powders, and Hydrator
What is a Superior Serum?
A Superior Serum is the result of activating a pure Active Powder with our Hyaluronic Acid Hydrator. Once the Active Powder is mixed with our Hyaluronic Acid Hydrator, it transforms into a serum with a light gel cream texture and clinically-proven results.
What does self-activated skincare mean?
Made fresh in an instant so that your skin can benefit from active ingredients at peak potency.
Why do your Active Powders stay fresh?
Powder is the most stable, least degradable format available for potent, delicate actives. Our Pure, potent Active Powders are innovatively designed to quickly and fully activate in under 8 seconds when mixed with our Quadruple Hyaluronic Acid Hydrator—transforming seamlessly into a silky, light gel cream texture.
Can I use different Active Powders with the same Hydrator?
Yes, our line of Superior Serums was designed to mix and match so you can use different Active Powders (in their Activator Globes + Dispensers) with the same Quadruple Hyaluronic Acid Hydrator and Activator Base.
Product Usage
Are Exponent products suitable for all skin types?
Yes, they can, and product selection is based on the skin concern you most want to improve and benefits you want to see and feel.
Are Exponent products safe for sensitive skin, hypoallergenic, and allergy-tested?
All Exponent products are allergy tested for safety. However, alway patch test prior to use to make sure your skin tolerates any new topical skincare product.
How many days of usage can I expect to get from Exponent products?
The Active Powders each come with 45 doses, and the Quadruple Hyaluronic Acid Hydrator comes with 90 doses.
What is the shelf life of Exponent products?
The shelf life or full expiration date is currently tested at 2 years. But our formulas from a ‘best if used by date’ never go bad– as in, they deliver the same potency every single dose.
Are your products pregnancy and nursing safe?
All formulas are considered safe to use while pregnant or breastfeeding except the Enzyme/Probiotic Powder as it has willow bark that is standardized for salicylic acid. However, as with any skincare product, we advise those who are pregnant or lactating to consult their physician prior to use.
