The vitamin C in this serum comes from Amazonian Camu Camu berry, which boasts 30 times more vitamin C compared to an orange. In this formula, the highly concentrated vitamin C is better absorbed into skin as it is formulated to have a lower molecular weight. This makes it more efficient in kickstarting natural collagen production, brightening, smoothing and firming the skin.
