Ursa Major Vitamin C Brightening Serum — 1 oz, Lightweight Vegan Formula

Ursa Major Brighten Up Vitamin C Serum is a lightweight, plant-forward corrective serum that brightens, hydrates and helps smooth uneven skin tone without harsh chemicals.

Designed as a concentrated daily treatment, this 1-ounce serum blends a stable, water-soluble form of Vitamin C (ascorbic acid polypeptide) with soothing botanicals and antioxidants to support a more luminous complexion. The formula emphasizes clean ingredients, vegan credentials and a non-irritating profile so you can layer it into morning or evening routines without synthetic fragrance, parabens, or sulfates.

How does this serum improve dull, uneven skin?

Brighten Up targets discoloration and lackluster tone by combining a long-lasting form of Vitamin C with skin-soothing extracts. It works to even out appearance while adding immediate hydration for a fresher look.

• Ascorbic acid polypeptide for more stable, longer-lasting Vitamin C activity
• Rosehip oil delivers fatty acids and subtle hydration
• Aspen bark calms and reduces visible irritation
• Antioxidant-rich edelweiss helps protect against environmental stressors

Will the texture and scent suit sensitive skin?

The serum has a featherweight, water-light texture that absorbs quickly and is formulated without synthetic fragrances or common irritants. Many users with reactive skin find the ascorbic acid polypeptide gentler than traditional ascorbic acid serums.

• Fragrance-free and free from petrochemicals and sulfates
• Non-greasy finish layers well under moisturizers or SPF
• Designed for improved absorption with reduced irritation risk

How should I use Brighten Up in my skincare routine?

Apply a few drops to clean skin once or twice daily depending on tolerance, then follow with your moisturizer and sunscreen in the morning. It functions as a corrective treatment and can be used alone or under other face products.

• Use after cleansing and toning, before heavier creams or oils
• Apply 2–4 drops to face and neck, gently pat into skin
• In the morning, always follow with broad-spectrum SPF

What makes this formula different from other Vitamin C serums?

Rather than unstable ascorbic acid, Ursa Major uses ascorbic acid polypeptide, a water-soluble derivative that maintains potency longer and is formulated for improved skin tolerance. The product also emphasizes clean, plant-derived supporting ingredients and excludes many problematic synthetics.

• Longer-lasting Vitamin C activity for sustained performance
• No parabens, silicones, glycols, PEGs, or synthetic colorants
• Vegan and cruelty-free formulation with botanical actives

Who is this for? Brighten Up is intended for anyone seeking a clean, effective brightening treatment—people with dull or uneven skin tone, early signs of firmness loss, or those who prefer cruelty-free, non-toxic skincare. It suits both men and women, and is a practical choice for sensitive skin types who want Vitamin C benefits without the harshness of traditional ascorbic acid serums.
