C sérum 18% — Brighten ∙ Firm ∙ Glow
A high-performance antioxidant serum powered by 18% Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (THD Ascorbate) — a deeply penetrating, oil-soluble form of Vitamin C that helps brighten skin tone, reduce the look of fine lines, and stimulate collagen production for firmer, more luminous skin.
This formula is enriched with a blend of skin-revitalizing botanicals that enhance radiance while supporting overall skin health:
🌿 Bakuchiol — a gentle, plant-based retinol alternative that smooths texture and enhances firmness.
🌸 Rosehip & Jojoba Oils — nourish and soften while maintaining a smooth, hydrated barrier.
🌾 Meadowfoam Seed Oil — seals in moisture and improves the delivery of active ingredients.
🫐 Blackcurrant Seed Oil — rich in omega fatty acids and antioxidants to protect against inflammation.
🍊 Bergamot Oil — offers antibacterial benefits and a fresh, uplifting scent.
💡 Best for: Normal, dry, sun-damaged, or mature skin.
🚫 Not recommended for: Cystic acne, rosacea, or compromised skin barriers — choose our B Serum instead for barrier repair and calming support.
How to use: Apply 3–5 drops to clean, dry skin every morning before moisturizer and SPF.
Hydrate ∙ Brighten ∙ Glow Naturally
“Quiet skincare. Powerful results.”
Your skin deserves the chance to reset — without being stripped, over-treated, or overwhelmed.
Our Sulfur Soap is designed to gently rebalance congested, reactive, and breakout-prone skin, helping it return to clarity without compromising the barrier.
Because clear skin shouldn’t come at the cost of healthy skin.
RESET
Skin renewal should support the barrier — not compromise it.
A plant based alternative to retinol our B Serum was created as a natural alternative to traditional retinol, encouraging smoother texture, improved tone, and stronger-looking skin without the irritation often associated with aggressive treatments.
Because effective skincare should work with your skin, not against it.
REBUILD
Healthy brightness is something to maintain, not chase.
Our 18% Vitamin C Serum supports skin prone to melasma and hyperpigmentation by helping defend against oxidative stress while encouraging a more even tone.
With consistent use, it helps prevent future discoloration while refining existing pigment — supporting clarity over time.
CORRECT
REVEAL
The eye area is often the first to show fatigue, fine lines, and loss of firmness.
Our Bright Eye Serum combines 100% bakuchiol with coffee extract to gently support renewal while improving the appearance of puffiness and uneven tone.
Designed for delicate skin, it smooths, refines, and brightens without irritation — encouraging a more rested, lifted look over time.
Why Our Serums Are Safe During Pregnancy — And Why Retinol Is Not
One of the first ingredients many women remove from their skincare routine during pregnancy is retinol.
Retinol and other vitamin A derivatives are not recommended during pregnancy because oral forms of vitamin A have been associated with fetal risk. While topical retinol is absorbed differently, most medical professionals advise discontinuing it out of caution. As a result, many women are left wondering how to continue supporting their skin safely.
At skinbyKDU, our serums are formulated differently from the start.
The core ingredient in our renewal-focused formulations is bakuchiol — a plant-derived compound often referred to as a natural alternative to retinol.
