What is it?
Biodroga Medical Institute Skin Booster 15% Vitamin C Serum is a daily brightening serum built around 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid, a stable form of vitamin C, at a 15% concentration. Biodroga pairs it with tranexamic acid, an ingredient used in skincare to help address the look of uneven tone. This 15 ml bottle is Biodroga’s retail size.
Key benefits
- Supports a brighter-looking complexion: vitamin C is included to help the skin look more even and radiant over time.
- Helps address uneven tone: tranexamic acid works alongside vitamin C to support a more balanced-looking complexion, including areas prone to redness.
- Lightweight hydration: sodium hyaluronate adds a layer of moisture without a heavy feel.
- Daily-wear texture: a fast-absorbing serum that layers easily under moisturizer and sunscreen.
