Description
Vitamin C serum for brighter skin and fewer fine lines
The skin is exposed daily to free radicals—from UV radiation to air pollution. This oxidative stress accumulates and is one of the main causes of dull complexion, uneven pigmentation, and the first signs of skin aging. A targeted approach with a stable vitamin C requires more than just the right ingredient—it requires a formula that actually delivers that ingredient deep into the skin.
The Dermalogica BioLumin-C Serum 30ml is the standard size for anyone serious about integrating vitamin C into both morning and evening routines. The formula works with the skin’s natural defense mechanism: an optimized delivery system ensures the ultra-stable vitamin C complex penetrates deeply enough to neutralize free radicals, while a combination of a peptide and lactic acid simultaneously renews and refines the skin.
Benefits
- Visibly reduces signs of skin aging, including fine lines and wrinkles
- Brightens uneven pigmentation and evens out the complexion for a more radiant appearance
- Neutralizes free radicals thanks to an ultra-stable vitamin C complex with enhanced bioavailability
- Stimulates cell renewal through lactic acid (AHA) for refined skin texture
- Supports skin firmness with Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5
Active ingredients
Ascorbyl Methylsilanol Pectinate & Aminopropyl Ascorbyl Phosphate: These are two ultra-stable vitamin C derivatives that together form the ultra-stable vitamin C complex. Unlike regular ascorbic acid, they do not oxidize quickly and remain active in the formula. They visibly reduce hyperpigmentation, protect the skin from oxidative damage, and support a brighter and more even skin tone.
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5: A biomimetic peptide that stimulates collagen production in the skin. It communicates with the skin at a cellular level, supporting firmness and elasticity—especially relevant for mature skin showing signs of sagging.
Lactic Acid (milk acid, AHA): An alpha hydroxy acid that gently dissolves the outer layer of dead skin cells. Through this regular chemical exfoliation, skin texture and tone are evened out, absorption of other active ingredients is improved, and the skin appears fresher and smoother.
Chia Seed Oil (Salvia Hispanica): Chia seed oil is rich in omega-3 fatty acids and supports the skin barrier. It strengthens the skin’s protective function and helps reduce moisture loss without leaving a heavy or greasy feeling.
Sodium Hyaluronate: The sodium salt form of hyaluronic acid that can penetrate deeper into the skin than regular hyaluronic acid. It binds moisture in the skin layers and provides hydrated, plumped skin that makes fine lines less visible.
Sophora Japonica Flower Extract: A plant extract with antioxidant properties that protects the skin from environmental influences and contributes to a more even and brighter skin tone.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use the BioLumin-C Serum both in the morning and evening?
Yes. The formula is developed for use in both morning and evening routines. Use the serum after toner and before moisturizer. Always add sun protection as the last step in the morning.
Is this serum suitable if I also use retinol?
Vitamin C and retinol are best not combined in the same step, as they can interfere with each other's effectiveness. Use vitamin C serum in the morning and retinol in the evening for the most optimal results.
Is this serum also suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, it is recommended for all skin types. Keep in mind that lactic acid (AHA) is an active exfoliant — if you have sensitive skin, start by gradually building up daily use to avoid irritation.
