If traditional Vitamin C leaves your skin red, tight, or stinging, your skin isn’t ’too sensitive’, the formula is just too acidic.
Standard Vitamin C ( L-Ascorbic Acid) is water soluble & requires a low, harsh PH to stay stable. On a thinned midlife skin barrier, that acidity causes instant irritation & moisture loss.
Lighten Up is formulated differently.
Heart & Soul use Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (THDA), a high performance, lipid soluble form of Vitamin C.
Because your skin’s outer barrier is made of natural lipids:
💕Zero sting: THDA works at a skin friendly pH, making it deeply soothing for reactive skin.
💕Deeper Absorption: it seamlessly glides through the skin barrier to target age spots & dullness.
💕Maximum Stability: it stays effective in the bottle without oxidising or turning brown.
Blended with cold pressed Pomegranate Seed Oil & Bakuchiol, it gives your skin the brightening power with zero barrier disruption.
