Super Glow Vitamin C Brightening Face Serum

Glossier Super Glow is a vitamin C serum for people who gave up on vitamin C because it stung, oxidised or did nothing. It uses a 5% stabilised derivative (MAP) that brightens and fades the look of dark spots gradually — cushioned by oils and butters so even drier skin tolerates it comfortably.

What it actually does

• Brightens with a gentler vitamin C. Magnesium ascorbyl phosphate is a stable form of vitamin C that works on dullness and dark spots without the irritation pure L-ascorbic acid can cause.
• Recharges dull, tired-looking skin. Magnesium PCA boosts hydration and visible radiance, so skin looks awake rather than just shinier.
• Nourishes while it treats. Jojoba oil, shea butter, sunflower seed oil and evodia fruit extract condition skin — unusual comfort for a brightening serum.
• Brand-tested over 8 weeks. In Glossier's independent clinical study of 30 people (ages 18–55), 9 out of 10 reported a healthy glow and energised-looking skin after 2 weeks, and all 30 said skin looked brighter after 8 weeks.
• Vegan, gluten-free and cruelty-free, and suitable across normal, dry, combination and oily skin types.

How to use

1. Start with cleansed (and toned, if you tone) skin.
2. Dispense three to four drops into your hands and press gently over the face.
3. Wait for it to absorb completely, then follow with moisturiser — and SPF in the morning.

Questions

How is this different from a typical vitamin C serum?

Most use pure L-ascorbic acid, which is potent but unstable and often irritating. Super Glow uses MAP, a stable derivative, wrapped in nourishing oils — slower-burn brightening that's much easier on reactive or dry skin.

When will I see a difference?

In Glossier's own study, most participants noticed glow within two weeks, with brightness improving through week eight. Consistency matters more than quantity.
