by goop beauty · skin_care
Editor's Take
Built around a massive 20% hit of Ascorbic Acid, this serum smartly relies on advanced penetration enhancers rather than just dumping the active into a bottle and hoping for the best.

The Verdict
This formula earns its Immaculate clean and Highly Effective ratings by pairing a heavy 20% dose of Ascorbic Acid with Ferulic Acid for critical stability. What sets the blend apart is the prominent use of Dimethyl Isosorbide, a solvent that drives the antioxidant payload deeper into the skin rather than letting it oxidize on the surface. It is a sharp, technical approach to clinical brightening. Worth the premium if your skin can tolerate high-octane antioxidants.
