Product Information
Full details
The Obagi Professional-C Serum 10% is an ideal solution for adults with dry or sensitive skin who want to brighten their complexion and defend against environmental stressors without the irritation often associated with higher-concentration vitamin C products. This lightweight serum utilizes L-Ascorbic Acid to improve the appearance of fine lines and uneven skin tone, delivering a revitalized glow. While effective, it is important to note that the product has a specific shelf life of 3 to 6 months after opening, requiring consistent daily use to maximize its antioxidant benefits before it oxidizes.

FAQs
Can I use this serum if I have sensitive skin?
Yes, the 10% concentration is specifically formulated to be gentler than higher-strength versions, making it a great choice for sensitive or dry skin.
When should I apply this in my routine?
Apply 5-7 drops in the morning after cleansing and toning, but before your moisturizer and SPF.
How long does a bottle last?
Once opened, the serum should be used within 3 to 6 months for maximum effectiveness.
Does this product replace my sunscreen?
No. While the serum provides antioxidant protection, it is not a sunscreen and must be followed by SPF every morning.
Is it safe for all ages?
The product is designed for adult use.
What is the key ingredient?
The primary active ingredient is L-Ascorbic Acid, a pure form of vitamin C known for its brightening and antioxidant properties.
Troubleshooting
Serum color has changed to a dark brown or orange
The product has likely oxidized and lost its potency. Discard and replace it with a fresh bottle.
Mild tingling sensation upon application
This is a normal reaction to L-Ascorbic Acid. If irritation persists, reduce frequency of use or consult a dermatologist.
Pilling under makeup or moisturizer
Ensure you are using only 5-7 drops and allowing the serum to dry completely for at least 60 seconds before applying other products.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To integrate this serum effectively, always cleanse and tone your skin first to ensure the active ingredients can penetrate properly. Apply the 10% serum before your moisturizer and sunscreen. Because L-Ascorbic Acid is sensitive to light and air, store the bottle in a cool, dark place to prevent premature oxidation, which is indicated if the serum turns a dark yellow or brown color. Always tighten the cap securely after every use. The product is intended for use within 3 to 6 months; after this period, the stability and effectiveness of the vitamin C may decline.
