Step 2 | Treat: Brighten & Tighten VITAMIN C SERUM
Triple Power Vitamin C Serum
The product that inspired it all, the second step in our signature series, our highly effective Brighten & Tighten VITAMIN C SERUM. Our serum treatment features not just one, but three forms of Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, & Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate), and combines them with the mighty brightening agent, Tranexamic Acid. By combining these two heavy hitting actives, we have maximized the potency of both ingredients, allowing our 10% Vitamin C serum to deliver the same results as a higher concentrated 20% Vitamin C serum, but without the irritation. The two additional forms of vitamin C- Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (MAP) and Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (Vitamin C Ester Oil)- are known as the most gentle forms of Vitamin C, and help to both brighten and reduce any possibility of irritation.
The proven benefits of topical Vitamin C are many. It stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, reduces the appearance of wrinkles, brightens and reduces dark spots, and fights against free radicals (toxins). L-Abscorbic Acid is the undisputed champion of all the forms of Vitamin C, which makes it worth putting up with its temperamental ways, as it doesn't like heat, light or air once it is mixed with water, and oxidizes quickly.
Glutathione, Acetyl Zingerone, Vitamin E and Ferulic Acid have also been included to our serum to help stabilize and assist the Vitamin C, and Methysulfonylmethane (MSM), a natural mineral, to help to keep skin healthy and strong and to guard against premature aging and skin damage. These potent antioxidants and minerals are then delivered to your skin in a beautiful bath of organically distilled Orange Blossom hydrosol. Our Brighten & Tighten VITAMIN C SERUM is a true powerhouse treatment that delivers results you can actually notice and see, so you can skip the filters and show off your radiant skin for real!

Active/Key Ingredients
10% L-Ascorbic Acid, 8% MSM, 5% Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, 5% Glutathione, 2% Tranexamic Acid, 1% Vitamin E, 0.50% Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, 0.50% Ferulic Acid
L-ASCORBIC ACID is the most studied and effective topical form of Vitamin C (1). It promotes collagen production, minimizes fine lines and wrinkles, helps fade hyperpigmentation and discoloration, brightens and evens skin tone, and helps fight free radicals (toxins). Most Dermatologists agree (2), it is one of the most important, if not the most important, anti-aging antioxidants that you can use on your skin. It increases collagen synthesis, stabilizes collagen fibers, and decreases collagen degradation, resulting in brighter, tighter skin with a more improved tone and texture. It also helps to treat and prevent ultraviolet (UV) induced photo-damage and works to synergistically increase the efficacy of sunscreen (3).
TRANEXAMIC ACID is a powerful brightening agent known for reducing dark spots, hyperpigmentation, acne scars and melasma (4), and is considered safe for all skin types. It works to actively improve existing skin discolorations and helps prevent the formation of new ones. Studies (5) have shown that it can be just as effective as hydroquinone at improving discolorations, but without any of the negative side effects. You will need to be patient, though! All studies have indicated that the best results are seen after 8-12 weeks of consistent use.
Directions
Directions
Directions: Apply 1-2 pumps to face, neck, and chest. Gently massage in until COMPLETELY ABSORBED, ideally immediately after your Bare & Prepare TONER has dried. Wait 2-3 minutes before moving on to next step (so it does not get diluted by the next product). Use ONCE daily. Suitable for all skin types.
*To preserve the effectiveness of your serum, minimize exposure to air, light, and heat. We have the air and light covered with our UV protected airless bottle, and our gold foil light blocking label. The heat, however, is all on you. We HIGHLY recommend keeping your serum in the REFRIGERATOR, or at the very least, in a COOL dark place (but really, the fridge is the best place to protect and prolong your investment).
*L-Ascorbic Acid will unavoidably oxidize and therefore only has a shelf life of about 3 MONTHS. Our serum is mixed fresh the day before it ships, but you should still be mindful of oxidation. Any range of clear to pale yellow is normal. If it turns dark orange or brown, it has oxidized and should be discarded. Following our recommendation to refrigerate is your best bet for extending the life of your serum.

Pro-Tips
Pro-Tips
Consider keeping ALL of your Pure Blossom Skin products in your refrigerator or in a cosmetic fridge- you will love it! You will become completely addicted to the feel of using Cool, fresh skincare every day. It's the ultimate indulgent self-care feeling, with no extra time involved.
Since the airless pump is opaque, write the date on the bottom with a permanent marker when you receive it. This will help you remember when to re-order so you are never in danger of running out.
The airless pump disperses approximately 120 pumps total, so it should last between 2-4 months depending how much you use at a time. (We think 1 1/2 pumps is the perfect amount!)

I LOVE the vitamin C serum. I am so happy to have found a legit and natural vitamin C serum. It's been about 4 months of me using the products, and so many people have commented on the fact that my skin is glowy! I am so happy to have found a line that I trust and am seeing results
We are delighted to have earned your trust, and most important, that you are seeing results. At the end of the day, that is everything. Getting compliments on your glowing skin never gets old either! Thanks so much for the A+ review!!
This serum is everything! I’ve struggled with dark circles, sun damage, and melasma but have noticed a considerable difference in my skin tone after using this C serum for just 3 months. I took this recent pic after cleaning my face and using the whole line. You can feel this stuff working its magic. I’m hooked!
Your pictures are everything! We can see your melasma fading and an overall brightening of your beautiful skin. Our Brighten & Tighten VITAMIN C SERUM is definitely working its magic, and we are so glad you are hooked. Thanks for sharing your fabulous results!
This stuff is the ULTIMATE vitamin C serum for brightening and evening skin tone!! Absolutely obsessed with this whole line, and this is the most effective Vitamin C product I’ve ever used in general. I keep it in my mini fridge on my counter and use it daily!
We are all about changing the game, and we agree, that our Brighten & Tighten VITAMIN C SERUM is the ULTIMATE vitamin C serum for brightening and evening skin tone! We love that you are keeping it your mini fridge, and that you are obsessed with it- both are music to our ears. Thanks so much for beautiful photo-your skin looks AMAZING!!
Really enjoying a trial of this entire line of products. I am 80 yrs old, so my expectations are different. Loving the way my skin feels. Lots of skin shedding. Must be good, yes?
We are thrilled you are loving the way your skin feels, and yes shedding is a good thing - as long as your skin continues to feel moisturized during the process- that's the delicate balance you want to achieve when initiating new cell turnover . Shedding is normal when introducing new actives, such as our amazing Brighten & Tighten VITAMIN C SERUM, and it means it is working to speed up your skins cell turnover. Bear in mind that more experienced skin can take up to 80 days or so to cycle, so be patient. We believe that everyone can have healthy, vibrant glowing skin, no matter how many years they have been blessed enough to experience, and here's to celebrating many more of yours!
I recently tried several Pure Blossom Skin products including the Brighten & Tighten Vitamin C Serum, and I was completely shocked by the wonderful results. My under eye area is what I consider my problem zone and am amazed to see and feel a positive change in my skin almost immediately. I am now obsessed with Pure Blossom Skin and grateful to find a healthy, pure-ingredients and effective skin care line, thank you from your new devoted customer.
Hello devoted new customer, we are so happy you are here! This is one obsession we can get behind, and we are grateful you are seeing and feeling such amazing changes to your skin so quickly, and we are so very grateful you took the time to share! xx
Let customers speak for us
from 56 reviewsI am officially OBSESSED with this oil!!! I want to bathe in it. :) The oil feels like such a treat at the end of the day, I look forward to my nightly routine just because I know I get to slather this on! It smells incredible and is the only oil I can use that doesn’t break me out. My skin looks amazing. I do use other PB products which I love, but this is my fav! It helps with the texture of my skin and helps keep me moisturized. I’ve noticed a huge difference on the back of my hands, they were so dry and starting to look so old. I looked down tonight and they look amazing, I have 20 year old hands again!! (I’m 42) I’m so thankful to have found Pure Blossom!! No hesitation, you need this oil, now!!
I feel like my skin looks 100% times better since using this skin care line. I can see a difference & I can feel the difference. I am blown away!

I love how my skin feels after using this product. So far everything I have tried is just wonderful. My skin feels hydrated and looks so much better after consistently using Pure Blossom Products.

I always equated to toner to something for
teenagers! Remember the days of Oxy pads and witch hazel!? This is NOTHING like your teenage days. This toner leaves your skin feeling clean and refreshed, not tight or dry. It’s a step I didn’t know I needed, now I don’t go without!
I recently gave these out at all of the white elephant parties I went to this holiday season- they were an absolute HIT! Doesn’t hurt that my skin GLOWS after using this whole line religiously. Best skincare line I have ever used!!

I have sensitive skin, so have had problems in the past with expensive products that just do more harm than good. Enter Pure Blossom and their sample pack! Knowing Deb, the creator of Pure Blossom for many years, I know how beautiful her skin has always looked, as well as a lifelong dedication to overall health and wellness of her mind, body and spirit.
I was very eager to try her new line, but still a bit apprehensive about how my skin would react. So very glad they have the sample pack available, and so very glad I purchased it! My skin looks and feels amazing, and I am super thrilled with the vitamin C serum especially! The routine is easy to follow, and results are very impressive. I will be upping to the full sizes and looking into other products in the line as well. Phew, what a relief. Finally, a skin care routine my 61-year-old delicate skin can handle. Thank you!
I have dry skin and I can never get enough hydration, especially in the winter. I've tried several different brands, and I have to say, I love this product. It has a great mist that is light and dewy. I hold it a few inches from my face and it covers perfectly. I keep it in my purse and spritz before my meetings. It smells good too.
I've always had sensitive skin - to products, to weather, to hormones, to change. Pure Blossom is the first complete product line that makes my 51-year old skin breathe and glow. I now have strangers complimenting my skin! And the best compliment? When my teenager and her friends tell me my skin is glowing and I look so young. I'm obsessed with this now!

I have loved how my skin has transformed over the course of a month. I’m also out of my sample kit and plan to order a complete kit soon. I love how everyone comments how good my skin looks but above all I love feeling how good my skin looks. I’ve really been so happy with the product. Hoping a facial cleaner comes out soon to use along with the steps. Make up is so much easier to put on too. Great job creating this product. Haven’t loved any line more.
Talk about moisturizing! Wow, this is one of my favorite steps. As an Arizona girl, I need all the moisture I can get!! A little hack that I have been LOVING recently is putting a little bit of this product under my eyes in the morning. It helps brighten my under eye area and adds a bit of moisture!
I love this oil! The scent is incredible. I really like how it is lightweight and not too oily it really absorbs nicely. I wear heal and seal oil daily on my face in the morning and before bed. My skin is soft and hydrated. I highly recommend this product!
