The medical-grade Vitamin C serum we built for our own clients.
DaVida Skin Vitamin C Serum is a 20% Vitamin C active complex with a triple-duty antioxidant system — built to brighten the complexion, support healthy collagen, and protect against UV, free radicals, and HEV (blue light). The matrix polymer delivery system keeps the L-ascorbic acid stable for up to two years and supports the absorption of other actives layered on top, including retinol.
Why people reach for it
Multi-form Vitamin C system: tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, ascorbic acid, ascorbyl glucoside, L-ascorbic acid, ascorbyl palmitate, plus naturally complexed polypeptides — broader benefit than single-form Vitamin C serums.
Co-Q10, Vitamin E, emblica, and superoxide dismutase guard against UV, blue light from screens, and pollution-driven aging.
Proprietary matrix polymer stabilizes the ascorbate system AND boosts the penetration of other actives layered on top — including your retinol.
Penetrating ascorbate blend with arbutin, emblica, bearberry extract, and citrus terpenes addresses dark spots, melasma, and uneven tone over time.
Who it's for
All skin types — designed to address:
Why it works
Multi-form blend of tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, L-ascorbic acid, ascorbyl glucoside, ascorbyl palmitate, and polypeptide-complexed Vitamin C — supports healthy collagen production and brightens at every layer of the skin.
Stabilizes the Vitamin C and helps subsequent skincare layers (especially retinol) penetrate more effectively. Time-released action means you get sustained brightening through the day.
Emblica, Co-Q10, superoxide dismutase, and Vitamin E shield skin from blemishes, spots, and other age-accelerating environmental damage.
Arbutin, bearberry extract, emblica, citrus terpenes — the same brightening botanicals used in dedicated dark-spot serums, layered into your daily Vitamin C step.

Common questions
Is this the best Vitamin C serum for face?
It's the medical-grade Vitamin C we trust enough to put our own brand on. The 20% concentration, multi-form L-ascorbic acid blend, and stabilizing delivery system put it in the same tier as $150+ pharmacy and dermatology-office serums — but at our private-label price.
How does it compare to drugstore Vitamin C?
Most drugstore serums use a single, less stable form of Vitamin C that oxidizes within weeks of opening (turning yellow or orange). Our 20% complex uses multiple stabilized forms with a delivery system designed to keep the actives effective for up to two years.
Will it sting?
Most clients tolerate it well. If you're sensitive to L-ascorbic acid, start by applying every other morning and build up. Pairing with HA Hydrating Serum first can buffer any tingle.
Can I use it with retinol?
Yes — and the matrix polymer system actually helps your retinol penetrate better. Vitamin C in the morning, retinol at night is the classic pairing; or layer Vitamin C first at night, then retinol on top.
Will I see brightening results?
Subtle brightness within 2–3 weeks. Real changes in tone, dark spots, and texture typically build over 8–12 weeks of daily use. Daily SPF is non-negotiable for results to hold.
Is it safe during pregnancy?
Topical Vitamin C is generally considered safe during pregnancy. Always confirm with your provider before adding any new active product during pregnancy or nursing.
Do you ship, or can I pick up locally?
Both. Free shipping over $100 within the US, or pick up at our San Antonio location (20327 Interstate 10 Ste 140) — usually ready within 24 hours of ordering.
"Our Vitamin C is the daily-use serum we built when we couldn't find a Vitamin C product at our price point that met our standard. 20%, stabilized, antioxidant-stacked — the brightening serum half our team uses themselves."
