Sandahwa Vitamin C Whitening Essence

Gentle brightening powered by certified organic vitamin C

A COSMOS ORGANIC certified vitamin C essence. Formulated with 20,000 ppm of ascorbyl glucoside, a Ministry of Food and Drug Safety-approved brightening ingredient, it targets dull complexion and dark spots. Unlike pure vitamin C, this stabilized form is bonded with natural glucose, so there's no risk of oxidation and you can use it both morning and night. The pH 5.5 mildly acidic formula is gentle enough for sensitive skin to use daily without irritation.

Clinically proven brightening results

Human application tests confirmed visible improvement in melanin reduction and the appearance of age spots and hyperpigmentation. A user trial with 296 participants showed impressive results.

• 94% satisfied with texture, 92% found it gentle
• 86% noticed brighter skin, 89% felt firmer skin
• 96% satisfied with absorption, 95% satisfied with spreadability

Completed sensitivity testing on sensitive skin types, making it safe for even reactive complexions.

Soothing care with patented botanical complex

For those concerned about vitamin C irritation, we've added a patented botanical complex clinically shown to calm and comfort skin. Seven plant-derived ingredients, including centella asiatica extract, help keep skin soft and healthy. As a dual-functional cosmetic certified for both brightening and wrinkle improvement, it addresses dark spots and fine lines in one essence. The transparent, water-light essence texture absorbs quickly and leaves skin hydrated. Vegan certified, it's ideal for anyone dealing with dark spots, sensitive skin that's found vitamin C products too harsh, or those seeking vegan skincare.

After toner, before cream — in the essence step

After cleansing and toning to prep your skin, apply this essence before your moisturizer. For even better absorption, start with a vitamin C toner or toner pad from the same line to refine skin texture first. Follow with your cream to lock in hydration and nourishment for a complete routine.

Stabilized vitamin C you can use morning and night

Formulated with ascorbyl glucoside, a stabilized vitamin C derivative, this essence is gentle enough for daytime use — unlike pure vitamin C, which can be light-sensitive. Its mildly acidic pH 5.5 formula makes it suitable for daily use, morning and evening, with minimal irritation.

Dispense with the dropper and pat gently to absorb

Use the dropper to dispense 2 to 3 drops across your face, then gently pat with your palms to help it absorb. For areas with dark spots or hyperpigmentation, apply a second layer for targeted care. The transparent, watery essence texture sinks in quickly.

Recommended combinations by skin concern

• For a dull complexion: Use a vitamin C toner pad to gently exfoliate, follow with this essence, and finish with sunscreen.
• For dryness and dark spots: After a deeply hydrating toner, apply this essence and seal it in with a moisturizing cream.
• For firmness support: Contains adenosine, so you can support basic elasticity care without needing a separate anti-wrinkle product.

Usage notes

Due to the nature of vitamin C, always apply sunscreen after morning use. If using alongside retinol products, we recommend separating them by time of day — vitamin C in the morning, retinol in the evening. After opening, store in a cool place away from direct sunlight, and discontinue use if redness or irritation occurs.
