Olivia Bright Skin Face Wash with Vitamin C for Instant Glow

• Stabilised Vitamin C (ascorbyl glucoside) inhibits tyrosinase — reducing melanin production and gradually fading dark spots with consistent use
• Provides immediate post-wash glow and radiance through antioxidant neutralisation of surface free radicals
• Niacinamide blocks melanin transfer to skin cells — dual-pathway brightening in every wash
• Protects skin against UV and pollution-induced pigmentation with daily antioxidant cleansing
• Collagen-stimulating action from Vitamin C improves skin firmness over time alongside brightening
• Gentle enough for all skin types including sensitive skin — stabilised derivative avoids the irritation of pure ascorbic acid
• Can be used alone or as part of a Vitamin C layering routine (face wash + Vitamin C serum)
• Free from parabens, sulphates, and artificial brightening agents like hydroquinone

• Step 1 — Apply to damp face and neck.
• Step 2 — Massage in gentle circular motions for 45–60 seconds
• Step 3 — Rinse thoroughly with cool water. Cool water preserves the skin's glow by maintaining surface tautness.
• Step 4 — Pat dry.
• Step 5 — For maximum brightening: Follow with the Olivia Bright Boost 12% Vitamin C Serum and a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ or SPF 50. SPF is essential when using Vitamin C — UV exposure reverses brightening gains.
  

Morning use is strongly recommended to initiate antioxidant protection for the day.

Evening use is equally beneficial for removing the day's oxidative deposits and pollution pigmentation.

Key Ingredient Breakdown:

• Ascorbyl Glucoside (Stabilised Vitamin C Derivative): Formed by bonding ascorbic acid (pure Vitamin C) to a glucose molecule through a glucosidic bond. This structural change provides three critical advantages over pure ascorbic acid:
  1. Stability: Does not oxidise on exposure to air, light, or water — maintaining potency throughout the product's shelf life.
  2. Gentleness: The buffered form significantly reduces the irritation potential that pure ascorbic acid can cause, especially at concentrations above 10%.
  3. Bioavailability: Skin enzymes (glucosidases) cleave the glucose molecule on contact, releasing free ascorbic acid directly at the skin surface — ensuring the active form of Vitamin C is delivered where it is needed.
  Mechanism: Ascorbic acid inhibits tyrosinase (the key enzyme in melanin synthesis) through direct copper chelation, preventing the enzymatic conversion of tyrosine to DOPA and then to melanin. It also provides antioxidant protection by donating electrons to neutralise free radicals, and stimulates procollagen gene expression in fibroblasts.
  
• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): Works at a different step in the pigmentation pathway than Vitamin C. While Vitamin C prevents melanin production in melanocytes, niacinamide prevents the transfer of melanin (in melanosome packets) from melanocytes to keratinocyte skin cells — blocking the final step that makes melanin visible in the skin. Together, Vitamin C + niacinamide provide the most comprehensive anti-pigmentation combination available in cosmetic science.
