Proactiv Vitamin C Serum 10% — 1 fl oz Brightening Serum for Post-Acne Dark Marks, Lightweight & Non-Comedogenic

Proactiv 10% Vitamin C Serum is a lightweight, non-comedogenic daily serum formulated to brighten skin and help diminish post-acne dark marks for acne-prone complexions.

This serum combines a 10% vitamin C complex with complementary antioxidants, soothing botanicals and hydrating hyaluronic acid to promote a more even-looking tone and refreshed radiance. Created with acne-prone skin in mind, the formula absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy film and layers well under moisturizers and sunscreen. Use it in your morning routine to target discoloration left behind by breakouts while supporting skin’s overall luminosity.

How does this serum address dark spots from past breakouts?

The formula targets visible post-blemish marks by delivering a concentrated vitamin C blend to skin, which supports a brighter, more uniform appearance. Antioxidants help neutralize environmental factors that can exaggerate pigmentation while botanical extracts soothe the skin after blemishes fade.

• 10% vitamin C blend aimed at evening tone
• Licorice root extract to help reduce the look of discoloration
• Supporting antioxidants for environmental defense
• Lightweight texture to avoid pore congestion

Will this serum suit acne-prone or oily skin types?

Yes—it's crafted to be non-comedogenic and fast-absorbing, so it won’t leave a heavy or oily residue that could worsen breakouts. The lightweight base and careful selection of complementary ingredients make it appropriate for those managing acne-prone or combination skin, provided you introduce it gradually.

• Non-comedogenic formulation reduces pore-clogging risk
• Fast absorption fits under moisturizers and sunscreen
• Suggested morning use after cleansing for minimal layering
• Start every other day if you have sensitive skin

How should I add this vitamin C serum into my daily skincare routine?

Apply 4–5 drops of the serum each morning after cleansing and before moisturizer and SPF. Allow the serum to absorb briefly, then follow with a hydrating cream and broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect results and shield skin from sun-induced pigmentation.

• Use mornings for best brightening support
• Pat 4–5 drops onto face, avoiding the eye area
• Layer moisturizer and daily sunscreen afterward
• If sensitivity occurs, reduce frequency to every other day

What sensory experience and texture can I expect?

The serum feels lightweight and nongreasy, absorbing quickly without tackiness. It’s designed to leave a smooth base for subsequent products and to be comfortable under makeup or sunscreen, making it easy to keep in a morning regimen.

• Thin, fast-absorbing liquid consistency
• No heavy residue—suitable under cosmetics
• Formulated to minimize pore-blocking sensations
• Pairs well with hydrating creams and SPF

Who is this for: Proactiv 10% Vitamin C Serum is intended for people with acne-prone or combination skin who want to reduce the visible appearance of dark marks left after breakouts and improve overall radiance. It's suitable for daytime use in routines that include moisturizer and sunscreen, and for those who prefer a lightweight, fast-absorbing product that won’t sit heavily on the skin. If your skin is highly sensitive, introduce the serum gradually and monitor tolerance.
