Vitamin C Complex Serum – multi-talent for many skin needs
Vitamin C is one of the most effective anti-aging ingredients. The myrto Vitamin C Complex Serum protects the skin from oxidative stress, prevents photoaging, and provides an even, glowing complexion—ideal even for sensitive skin.
Vitamin C - more than just a glow ingredient
Vitamin C is one of the most effective active ingredients in the field of slow aging. With regular use, our high-quality vitamin C serum refines the skin's appearance and provides an even, awake complexion with a natural glow. It also has anti-inflammatory properties and can be used as a supportive treatment for blemishes or acne – however, not for acute inflammation or open pimples, as this can cause irritation.
In addition, the Vitamin C Complex Serum powerfully combats oxidative skin damage caused by UV radiation and environmental influences such as particulate matter or stress. It stimulates collagen production, reduces wrinkles, lightens pigmentation, and prevents the formation of new age spots.
Which form of vitamin C is ideal?
Pure ascorbic acid (L-ascorbic acid) requires an acidic environment below pH 3.5, which is too aggressive for sensitive skin and causes irritation. Therefore, we use the stabilized, potent form of vitamin C, ascorbyl glucoside , in our Vitamin C Complex Serum . This is proven to be particularly effective and also very well tolerated, even by sensitive skin.
The formula of our Vitamin C Complex Serum is complemented by oat beta-glucan , which strengthens the skin barrier and counteracts redness and irritation. This combination makes the serum ideal even for sensitive or redness-prone skin types.
The correct concentration and dosage
Start with one or two drops the first time and apply the Vitamin C Complex Serum selectively under your skincare routine. Alternatively, you can mix it directly with your day or night cream. If you tolerate it well, you can gradually increase the amount and use it morning and evening.
Application tips for best results
- Daily use: For visible effects, consistent daily use is crucial – ideally in the morning and evening.
- Combination with other serums: You can also use the serum alternately with other active ingredient serums, depending on your skin's needs.
- Note the order: If you use several serums, apply the serum with the thinner texture first, then the richer one.
- Supplement UV protection: Vitamin C enhances the effectiveness of your sunscreen. It's best applied in the morning under your daily moisturizer and Sunshine Day Oil.

❓ Frequently asked questions about the Vitamin C Complex Serum
Which skin type is the Vitamin C Serum suitable for?
The serum is suitable for all skin types – even sensitive skin. Thanks to its mild form of ascorbyl glucoside with a skin-neutral pH, it is particularly well tolerated, even by skin prone to redness or irritation.
Can I use the serum daily?
Yes, for optimal results, we recommend daily use – in the morning under your day cream and in the evening under your night cream. It's important to gradually allow your skin to get used to it.
What is the difference between ascorbyl glucoside and L-ascorbic acid?
L-ascorbic acid is synthetically produced, pure ascorbic acid, which requires a very acidic formulation (pH 3-3.5) and therefore often causes irritation on sensitive skin. The natural cosmetic, biotechnologically produced ascorbyl glucoside is a stabilized and gentler form of natural vitamin C that is released more slowly but is still proven to be highly effective.
Why should I apply the serum under sunscreen?
Studies show that vitamin C enhances the antioxidant effect of sunscreens, has been proven to improve protection against UVA and UVB radiation, and is therefore a perfect addition to your sunscreen.
What is the best way to store the serum?
Store the serum in a cool, dark place. Since our Vitamin C Serum is formulated to be stable, it doesn't need to be refrigerated—room temperature is sufficient.
