Dr. esthé Vita-C Radiance Solution Ampoule is a concentrated, ultra-lightweight brightening ampoule built around a vitamin-rich formula that targets uneven tone, dark spots, and dullness at the source. The base is 71% lemon fruit water, naturally rich in vitamin C and citric acid, giving the formula an active brightening foundation before a single additional ingredient is added. It is fragrance-free and formulated to be gentle enough for sensitive skin.

Key Benefits

Visibly fades dark spots and discoloration Magnesium ascorbyl phosphate and ascorbic acid work together to interrupt melanin production at the cellular level, reducing the appearance of hyperpigmentation, acne scars, and sunspots over time.

Defends skin against environmental damage Tocopherol and tocopheryl acetate deliver a meaningful dose of vitamin E antioxidant protection, helping to neutralize free radicals before they can trigger oxidative stress and uneven tone.

Supports a stronger, more resilient skin barrier Panthenol, allantoin, and goat milk extract work in concert to soothe, condition, and replenish the skin, reducing sensitivity and keeping the barrier intact while active ingredients do their work.

Delivers lasting hydration without heaviness Sodium hyaluronate draws moisture into the skin and holds it there, so the ampoule absorbs quickly and leaves skin feeling comfortable and balanced, never sticky or weighted down.

Calms irritation while brightening Bisabolol, a gentle botanical anti-inflammatory, helps reduce redness and sensitivity, making this formula well-suited for skin that reacts easily to vitamin C products.

If uneven skin tone, post-acne marks, sunspots, or persistent dullness are your primary concerns, this ampoule was built with your skin in mind. The combination of two forms of vitamin C alongside niacinamide creates a layered brightening approach that works on both existing discoloration and the processes that create new spots over time.

This formula is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and reactive skin. The inclusion of bisabolol, allantoin, panthenol, and goat milk extract balances the actives with calming, barrier-supportive ingredients, so skin stays comfortable throughout use.

If you have been hesitant to use vitamin C because of past irritation or sensitivity, the magnesium ascorbyl phosphate in this formula is a stabilized, gentler form of vitamin C that delivers brightening results with a lower likelihood of causing redness or stinging.

Because the formula absorbs so quickly, this is an ideal candidate for the first active layer in your routine. Apply it to skin that is still slightly damp after toning to help drive the vitamin C and niacinamide deeper into the skin before your moisturizer creates a seal over the top.

Prepare: Cleanse and tone your skin as usual before applying.

Apply: Dispense two to three drops into your palm and apply to the face, neck, and chest.

Technique: Gently massage and pat the ampoule into skin until fully absorbed before layering with moisturizer.

Frequency: Use morning and evening. Always follow with a broad-spectrum SPF in the morning.
