Tannic [CF] Serum

$196.00

Winter light, city air and the years all leave the same mark: skin that looks a little flat and reddened. Tannic [CF] combines 10% pure vitamin C with tannic and ferulic acids, so the surface reads clearer, firmer and calmer over time.

Brightens skin that has gone dull and looks tired.
Softens fine lines and supports firmness day after day.
Calms the look of redness across the cheeks and nose.
Shields against pollution, city air and daily oxidative stress.
High tolerance formula with no fragrance and no preservatives.

Often built into a Cellcosmet skincare programme at the clinic. See also HA Booster Serum. Browse the Anti-Aging & Wrinkles collection.

How to use

In the morning, on clean dry skin, apply three to four drops to the face, neck and décolleté.
Massage in gently until absorbed and avoid the eye contour.
Follow with HA Booster for hydration, or a moisturiser suited to your skin.
Finish with a broad-spectrum SPF whenever you will be outside.
Alphascience also allows a second application in the evening for consistent daily cover.

Questions

Can I use it in the morning, or is vitamin C best at night?

Morning is the point. The formula is built to sit under your sun protection and absorb the oxidative load of daylight, pollution and city air. Apply it first on clean skin, let it settle, then layer your moisturiser and SPF over the top.

My skin flushes easily. Will vitamin C be too much?

This is the version of the range built for that. Tannic acid supports the small vessels behind visible redness, and the formula carries no fragrance and no preservatives, which removes two common triggers. Start once daily and give it a fortnight before deciding.

How is it different from Phytic [TC]?

Same idea, different skin. Tannic [CF] runs at 10% vitamin C with tannic acid, for normal to dry skin that reddens. Phytic [TC] runs at 8% vitamin C with 2% phytic acid, for combination skin that gets shiny and has visible pores. Pick by skin, not by strength.

How long before I see a difference?

Alphascience suggests the first visible improvements within a month of regular use, and at least two months for a consistent result. Skin renewal runs on its own clock. The serum works with it rather than forcing it, so give the routine a full season.
