Why This Ingredient Blend Matters

Mature skin often needs more than one type of support. It may need brightness, hydration, barrier care, and antioxidant protection at the same time.

  • L-Ascorbic Acid / Pure Vitamin C
    The hero ingredient in Glowic. L-Ascorbic Acid is the pure form of Vitamin C and one of the most studied forms used in topical skincare. It helps support a brighter-looking complexion, improves the appearance of uneven tone, and helps defend the skin against free radical damage.
  • Tocopherol / Vitamin E
    Vitamin E is an antioxidant that works well alongside Vitamin C. It helps nourish the skin’s lipid barrier, supports hydration, and helps protect skin from everyday environmental stress.
  • Ferulic Acid
    It helps support formula stability and strengthens the antioxidant blend.
  • Niacinamide / Vitamin B3
    Niacinamide is a versatile ingredient that helps refine the look of pores, even the appearance of skin tone, and support the skin’s moisture barrier.
  • Sodium Hyaluronate
    A form of hyaluronic acid that helps attract and hold moisture. Supports a smoother, plumper-looking finish and helps skin feel hydrated without heaviness.
  • Panthenol / Pro-Vitamin B5
    Helps calm and comfort the skin while supporting hydration. It is especially helpful for skin that feels dry, stressed, or easily unsettled.
  • Sodium PCA
    Naturally occurring humectant that helps the skin hold onto moisture. It supports softness and hydration without leaving a heavy or sticky residue.

Glowic serum brings those benefits together in one streamlined serum. Instead of using separate Vitamin C, niacinamide, and hydration serums, Glowic combines niacinamide and vitamin C together to support skin that looks brighter, smoother, and more confident.
