It was specifically formulated with reactive skin in mind, so clients can finally get antioxidant and brightening support without constantly irritating their skin by looking for one that works for them."

“Antioxidants and sunscreen belong together. Rare C neutralizes the damage that gets through and this SPF blocks what it can, and both were formulated with reactive skin in mind.”
Vitamin C intercepts the daily damage from sun and pollution, fades dark patches and is required for your skin to build collagen. Here is how it works and which form suits your skin.
Sodium hyaluronate is the salt form of hyaluronic acid, and usually the better choice. Here is why it is on the back of the bottle when the front says something else.
Beta glucan holds water in your skin, calms irritation and supports healing after red, inflamed breakouts. Here is how it works, what the research found and where it fits in your routine.
Standard ascorbic acid serums require a very low pH to be effective, which is what causes the stinging, redness, and irritation they are known for. Hale and Hush Rare C Serum uses 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid, a stable ether derivative that does not require a harsh pH environment to work. It penetrates more deeply than ascorbic acid and is significantly less likely to cause irritation, making it appropriate for sensitive and reactive skin.
The form of vitamin C in Hale and Hush Rare C Serum is specifically chosen for its stability and gentleness. Most clients who have had bad experiences with vitamin C serums have been using L-ascorbic acid formulas. Starting with once daily use and building to twice daily gives even reactive skin time to adjust without disruption.

Yes. Hale & Hush Rare C Serum helps brighten the skin and improve uneven tone, leading to a more balanced and radiant complexion.
