Scurvy Dog is high potency vitamin C serum along with other supporting and stabilizing antioxidants; vitamin E, ferulic acid, caffeine crystals and bakuchiol.
Vitamin C is hands down the most effective antioxidant in skincare that provides a myriad of benefits like lightening dark spots, building collagen and offering pollution protection and photoprotection.
Scurvy Dog might take a little getting used to as the pH has to be less than 3.5 for the vitamin C to protonate into the dermis, where it sits (with a half life of 4 days) as a powerful reserve of antioxidants that neutralize free radicals from pollution, UV rays, smoke etc. You're skin will likely "use up" portions of this antioxidant reserve every day, so make sure to re-up your vitamin C regularly. (I personally use 2 pumps morning and night).
After applying Scurvy Dog, your skin will be a bit tacky for a few minutes while it's absorbing. When your skin is fairly dry and smooth, your skin has absorbed everything and you can move on to the next step.
NOTE - If you do the next step before the vitamin C has fully absorbed, you run the risk of increasing the pH over 3.5 which will block any remaining vitamin C absorption.
Morning / Night
Apply 2 pumps evenly across entire face, allow 3-5 minutes to fully absorb until proceeding to next step in routine.
