๐Ÿ”ฌ How It Actually Works

A stable form of Vitamin C combined with a sugar molecule (glucose). Once absorbed, enzymes in the skin break it down into pure L-Ascorbic Acid.

๐Ÿ’– Why your skin loves it

Gently brightens, provides antioxidant defense, and boosts collagen.

๐Ÿ’ก Pro Tip

Excellent for those who find pure Vitamin C too irritating or unstable.

โš–๏ธ Myth vs. Fact

The Myth

Derivatives are useless.

The Science

They are highly effective, they just offer a slower, more sustained release of the active vitamin.

Skinmade
10% Azelaic Acid + 2% Salicylic Acid Serum
Serum

A highly effective local Malaysian formulation designed to tackle stubborn hyperpigmentation and active breakouts simultaneously. Skinmade avoids pure azelaic acid which can be gritty and irritating, opting instead for Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate. This advanced water-soluble derivative combines the brightening power of azelaic acid with the hydrating properties of glycine. Paired with 2% Salicylic Acid and a supporting dose of Niacinamide, it actively exfoliates inside the pore while shutting down melanin transfer and reduces surface oil pools safely. The physical texture is a completely transparent, lightweight fluid that absorbs flat into the skin within 15 seconds, leaving zero sticky residue.

Ceramide Bright Intense Serum

It targets dark spots and hyperpigmentation while simultaneously filling in the microscopic cracks in the lipid matrix, making it the perfect treatment fluid for clearing acne marks on sensitive or easily irritated barrier architectures.

Aiken
Vita-C Bright Moisturizer
Moisturizer

A multifaceted brightening gel-cream that targets dullness and mild breakouts simultaneously. It combines stable Vitamin C (Ascorbyl Glucoside), Mandelic Acid, and Niacinamide to gently lift hyperpigmentation without massive irritation. The inclusion of Tea Tree Oil and trace Salicylic Acid keeps the pores clear, while the silicone matrix (Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone) provides a smooth, breathable finish. It is highly versatile but does contain synthetic fragrance.
