Oriva Scientific Assessment

This serum leverages 15% THD Ascorbate, a highly stable and potent form of vitamin C, to effectively deliver antioxidant protection and visibly brighten the skin. Complementary ingredients like glycolic acid provide gentle exfoliation to improve skin texture, while squalane and hyaluronic acid offer hydration. This combination works synergistically to improve skin tone, reduce the appearance of dark spots, and enhance overall radiance.

Target User: Individuals looking to address concerns such as dullness, uneven skin tone, dark spots, and early signs of aging. It is suitable for most skin types, including those who may find traditional L-Ascorbic Acid irritating due to the gentle nature of THD Ascorbate.

Avoid If: Those with extreme sensitivity to glycolic acid or citrus extracts should exercise caution. Individuals who prioritize completely fragrance-free skincare might consider alternatives, as this product contains essential oil extracts that contribute to its scent.

Avoid / caution

  • Individuals with extreme sensitivity to glycolic acid or citrus ingredients.
  • Those who prefer completely fragrance-free products due to the presence of essential oil extracts.
  • Glycolic Acid (potential for mild irritation)
  • Citrus Limon (Lemon) Fruit Extract
  • Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Peel Extract
