THE FORMULA

Your skin’s daily defense against dullness, dehydration, and signs of aging. Vitamin C delivers brightening, firming, and antioxidant power, targeting dark spots and uneven tone, while superoxide dismutase and glutathione neutralize free radicals to fight premature aging. Hyaluronic acid and saccharide isomerate drench skin in lasting hydration, leaving it plump, smooth, and resilient.

Powerful yet gentle, this serum is designed for all skin types — even sensitive. Its stabilized vitamin C works effectively without irritation, while skin-identical antioxidants and hydrating actives restore balance and resilience. Daily use helps fortify your skin’s defenses, keeping it radiant, healthy, and strong against environmental stressors.

  • Light, silky, fast-absorbing texture.
  • Gentle and safe for all skin types.
  • Free of fragrance and essential oils.
  • Skin-friendly pH 5.0-5.5.

Activist Skincare refillable vitamin C sustainable face serum

Active Hydration is a bestseller because it helps skin go from dull to healthy-looking and radiant while being supremely gentle.

This light, fast-absorbing liquid leads with a powerful dose of antioxidant vitamin C and other antioxidants to brighten and prevent hyperpigmentation caused by sun damage or breakouts, as well as ward off DNA-damaging free radicals that cause visible signs of premature aging. It also provides serious hydration to help skin feel more plump, firm and supple.

Because we use a gentle, stabilized form of Vitamin C, you won’t experience the sensitivity or redness that other C serums may cause. It’s also packed with Vitamin B5 (Panthenol) and Amino Acids to truly nourish skin. Get ready to show off a more luminous complexion and notice your inner glow shining through.

How to use: We recommend first misting clean skin with Healing Water Toning Mist. Then, use fingertips to smooth a small amount of serum onto the skin. Follow with Precious Oils Active Infusion.
