Glow Serum

For dullness and uneven tone, worn in the morning — a stable vitamin C (the form that won’t oxidize in the bottle) for antioxidant defense, niacinamide (vitamin B3) to support the skin barrier, and vitamin E to keep skin conditioned, for brighter, more even-looking skin.

Is this for you?

This is ideal if you:

  • Want brightening that doesn't oxidize in the bottle
  • Layer antioxidants under SPF for daily support
  • Have the look of uneven tone or dark spots
  • Prefer a stable vitamin C over the kind that breaks down fast

Not ideal if you:

  • Want immediate, dramatic brightening (this is cumulative)
  • Are extremely sensitive to vitamin C in any form
  • Specifically want high-strength pure vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid), even though it's less stable
  • Maybe a better fit for some of these issues: Clarity Serum.

Why this formula works

Stable vitamin C delivery

3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid is a stable vitamin C derivative that resists the oxidation that degrades pure vitamin C in the bottle, and converts to vitamin C in the skin.

Antioxidant synergy

Vitamin E adds antioxidant support alongside the vitamin C, with niacinamide working on even tone from a separate path.

Niacinamide tone evening

Niacinamide supports the look of more even tone, working on a separate path from vitamin C.

How to use

Morning Routine

Apply 3–5 drops to clean skin in the morning before moisturizer and SPF. Store away from direct light and heat to maintain stability.

Frequently asked

Questions, answered

Will this irritate sensitive skin?
Most of our actives are formulated at concentrations chosen for tolerability, not maximum potency. If you've reacted to similar products before, patch test on your inner forearm for three nights before applying to your face. Mild tingling on first use is common with vitamin C and retinol; persistent burning is not — discontinue and contact us.
When will I see results?
Hydration looks better within days. The look of brighter, more even tone tends to show over about 4–6 weeks. The look of smoother texture and softer fine lines can take 8–12 weeks of consistent daily use.
Can I use this with retinol or other actives?
Most Sorrel formulas layer well together. The exceptions: don't use retinol with high-strength vitamin C in the same routine — alternate AM and PM. Don't pair retinol with AHA or BHA in the same application. When in doubt, message us with your current routine and we'll map it out.
Should I use this morning, night, or both?
Vitamin C and antioxidants work best in the morning before SPF. Retinol and exfoliants are nighttime only. Hydrators, moisturizers, and most peptides are flexible. The recommended timing is on each product page — when in doubt, follow that.
What if it doesn't work for my skin?
Use it daily for up to 60 days. If your skin isn't visibly improved, return the empty bottle for a full refund — no questions, no return shipping. We'd rather you find a product that works than keep one that doesn't.
