How To Use

STEP 4: BOOST GLOW

Dispense 2-3 drops into the palm of your hand and then apply to your face. Add a couple more drops if you will also be applying to your neck and chest. During the day, finish with a moisturiser with SPF 15 or greater. Can be applied under the eye area, avoiding the eye itself.

FAQs

Why did Paula’s Choice reformulate the C15 Super Booster?

Despite the C15 Super Booster being one of our top-selling products globally, there were some improvements requested by consumers like increased gentleness and formula stability, improved texture and packaging improvements. We listened to their feedback and reformulated the C15 Super Booster to address these concerns and make it even better. We believe the new and improved formula will be something both existing and new clients will love!

How is the new C15 Super Booster formula different from the original?

While the original formula was effective, our best-selling vitamin C booster is now even better at revitalising your complexion and elevating your skin care routine. The new formula combines the benefits of pure vitamin C with targeted peptides and ergothioneine, which provide anti-ageing benefits. These peptides help to soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while improving the skin's underlying support for greater resiliency. Overall, the new formula is more stable, gentler and performs even better than the original. Bonus —it smells better too!

Is the effectiveness of the C15 Super Booster reduced if I mix it with other products?

No. The formula was designed to complement the ingredients in our serums and non-SPF moisturisers. We recommend you just don’t mix it into your sunscreen because mixing any non-SPF skin care product with sunscreens can reduce their effectiveness against UV rays.

Is the C15 Super Booster good for blemish-prone skin?

Yes, the skin-loving benefits of vitamin C plus key antioxidants in this booster support healthy skin which in turn may eliminate some of the triggers that drive blemishes. These ingredients can also help fade post-breakout marks.

Is the C15 Super Booster good for rosacea or sensitive skin?

Yes, most people with sensitive skin can use vitamin C safely. The amount of vitamin C (15%) in C15 Super Booster is potent, but the formula is suitable for sensitive skin because of the additional skin-soothing ingredients and extra formulary steps taken to ensure its stability and gentleness. Vitamin C isn’t known to cause skin irritation, but if you notice dryness, redness or stinging, we recommend reducing application frequency, or mixing 2-3 drops into your other serums or non-SPF moisturiser. If you've experienced sensitisation to higher amounts of vitamin C, we recommend you consider our C5 Super Boost Moisturizer which contains 5% vitamin C.

My skin tends to be sensitive to vitamin C, but I still want to use this. Will applying it a few times per week still be beneficial?

Yes. Although once or twice-daily application is recommended, you will absolutely still see benefits from C15 Super Booster if it's applied less often. However, results might take a bit longer to notice due to the less frequent application. As with any skin care product, you need to pay attention to how your skin responds and adjust usage (or products) accordingly.

Are there any products or ingredients the C15 Super Booster cannot be used with?

The only ingredients you shouldn’t use with vitamin C are copper peptides. Copper peptides can oxidise pure vitamin C, making it less effective on skin. When using vitamin C and copper peptides in your routine, we recommend using one in the morning and the other at night to ensure maximum effectiveness. Aside from this exception, you can typically use vitamin C along with other ingredients such as retinol, AHA, BHA, niacinamide and more. See our article to learn more about why vitamin C and niacinamide play well together.

How does the packaging of the C15 Super Booster keep the product stable?

To protect the potency of the formula, we've opted for a UV coated glass container (to shield from light) and an internal restrictor which drastically reduces airflow per use. In rigorous testing, these packaging safeguards proved adequate at preserving the effectiveness of the vitamin C and other key ingredients in this formula for a period of three months once opened.

Reviews Summary
Customers say this vitamin C serum brightens skin and helps with pigmentation, though experiences vary significantly. Many report glowing, radiant skin and improved skin tone after consistent use. However, the new formula has caused mixed reactions - some find it less irritating and more effective, whilst others experience increased skin irritation, redness, and burning sensations. Common concerns include rapid oxidation within weeks or months, making the product unusable before finishing the bottle. Multiple users report bottles fizzing up like soft drinks when opened, causing product loss. The thin, runny consistency makes application challenging without a dropper. Some find it leaves a greasy residue or sticky feeling, making it unsuitable under makeup. Long-term users particularly note differences between old and new formulations.

    It is hard to apply as it is very thin and slips through my fingers when applying

    I am very much a minimalist when it comes comes to skin care. I wanted a vitamin C to naturally boost my skin radiance and it just dries my skin out.

    Not bad

    Not a bad product. I did realise my skin tone brightening with it, but it does leave a greasy residue and has a bit of a smell to it. Probably won't buy again.

    Love it

    I love it. Makes my skin glow but it oxidised before I finished the bottle which is frustrating.
