Garden of Wisdom's Majik C 15% Serum moisturizes and softens skin, exfoliates skin, cleanses, and encourages the regeneration of collagen. Vitamin C is also a potent antioxidant.
Please keep refrigerated and use it within 90 days of receiving this serum. This serum is an clear liquid, if it changes color to yellow or orange do not use it because that means it has begun to oxidize.
This product is able to separate and show precipitation, which is completely normal. For optimum effectiveness, the bottle should be shaken prior to each use.
Method of Application Apply a few drops of this serum on your clean fingertips, and smooth it across your clean skin. Use during the water soluble phase of your skin routine (after you cleanse, tone, and exfoliate before you apply any oils or creams).
Shelf Life and Storage Information for Our Products and Ingredients
Finished Products - generally don't need to be refrigerated as they are preserved, but you can refrigerate them to extend their shelf life. The shelf life for most products is 9-12 months. Vitamin C Serum(s) and VitaResurface products should continually be refrigerated to extend their shelf life. Sample Sizes - do have a shorter shelf life (generally 3-6 months), and items in jars can dry up quicker than this if the lid is not tightened well enough (Vitamin C Serums - use within 90 days).
Please keep your products out of humidity, heat, direct light and in a dark cabinet when possible:
Exfoliating Acid - products have a shelf life of 9-12 months. The only things we don't suggest refrigerating are the Mandelic Acid Serums or Salicylic Acid Serums, as they can crystallize in the refrigerator. If this happens, you can set the product into a hot water bath to see if the crystals will dissolve.
Additional Items That Require Refrigeration and/or Kept in the Dark:
Hydrosols and Distillates - remove 1 ounce of hydrosol and add it into a separate,sterilized spray bottle and spritzer. Keep the larger bottle in the refrigerator. Carrier and Exotic Oils - generally, you can refrigerate all carrier oils, although some very rich oils will solidify. This is fine. All you have to do is take it out, warm it up at room temperature and it should liquefy. If not, set the bottle in a hot water bath and occasionally shake the bottle, which will hopefully turn into a liquid. There are some oils with a super long shelf life, like Coconut Cream and Jojoba Oil.
Refrigeration is not necessary, but it surely won't hurt:
Essential Oils - essential oils are best stored in a cool, dark place. Co2 Extracts - these should continually be refrigerated. Butters - we suggest refrigerating our "skincare" butters. You can remove what you need and keep the rest in the fridge. Clays - keep in a dry, dark place. Shelf life is at least 2 years. Herbs - all herbs (whole or ground) should be kept in a dark, cool and dry location. Herbal (liquid) Extracts - these are created using alcohol. The alcohol pulls the constituents (properties) from each herbs - root, trunk, leaves, and flowers. They have a shelf life of 3-5 years. They can be kept in the refrigerator or a dark place. Other Raw Ingredients - i.e., Sodium PCA, Honeyquat, Oat Beta Glucan, etc. will all have a different shelf life.
I have looked into so many vitamin C serum’s, none of them compared to Garden of Wisdom’s purity and quality of ingredients. I prefer minimal ingredients, and that’s what initially sold me. I saw results immediately; my skin is so plump, smooth and free of hyperpigmentation thanks to this serum. I have no doubt that this product out performs high-end vitamin C serum’s. I will forever have this in my routine.
So glad you are loving this serum! Thank you for your review!

Best vitamin C serum I have ever tried
I have a hard time with a lot of vitamin C serums because 1) I have hyper-sensitive skin and 2) I have acne). This serum, rather than aggravating my sensitivity and acne, has actually helped both problems, while also brightening!!! I am so grateful to have an option with ferulic acid but without vitamin E, also (the CEF is formulation is so common and most places that are not GOW don't have multiple C serum options) - vitamin E breaks me out. Will repurchase forever.
Thank you so much for this review :)

Best C serum I've found
This is the first vit c serum that's delivered visible results (immediately!) without unpleasant other side effects-- and I've tried a TON of vitamin c serums in my quest to find one that works for me. This one hasn't triggered breakouts, malassezia, or perioral deratitis, and it has brightened, healed acne spots, and helped with small wrinkles. If you have sensitive skin and are looking for a vitamin c serum, this is definitely one to try.
