How Curatory Credit works

Why I chose it

What I like about Age Element Brightening Concentrate is that it combines vitamin C, niacinamide and shikimic acid in a very light serum that is easy to use and layer.

It provides antioxidant support and can help with brightness and uneven tone while also supporting the skin barrier. The risk of irritation or breakouts is low.

How to introduce it

Use 3–4 drops in the morning after cleansing and any toner or mist. Keep the pipette away from the skin, spread a thin layer over the face and allow it to absorb before other leave-on products and sunscreen.

There is usually no need to repeat a morning antioxidant in the evening, particularly if your evening routine already contains a retinoid or another active product.

Guidance continues after purchase. We can help you introduce, simplify or adjust this product.

The ingredients that make this special

A closer look at the ingredients doing the most meaningful work in this formula—and what the evidence can reasonably tell us.

3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid

A stable form of vitamin C that provides antioxidant support and can help improve brightness and uneven tone.

Read the clinical context

3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid is a stable form of vitamin C. It provides antioxidant support and over time can help improve brightness and uneven tone. It isn’t a weaker version of vitamin C, just a different form, and may be more suitable if more acidic vitamin C serums normally make your skin sensitive.

Niacinamide

A form of vitamin B3 that supports the skin barrier and can help with uneven tone and visible redness.

Read the clinical context

Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3 that supports the skin barrier. Over time, it can help improve the appearance of uneven tone and redness. How much difference it makes depends on the concentration, the rest of the formula and whether the product is left on the skin or is rinsed off.

Shikimic Acid

A mild exfoliating acid that helps improve the look of rough texture.

Read the clinical context

Shikimic acid is a mild exfoliating acid that can help smooth the look of rough texture. It is generally a gentler option than stronger AHAs, although sensitivity will depend on the concentration of the acid and how it’s formulated.
