How it works
The Vitamin C Glow Serum is a 30ml serum, used after toner and before moisturizer, morning and evening. The antioxidant it is built around is Ascorbic Acid, named fourth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Niacinamide, Cyanocobalamin and Tocopherol, so the antioxidant is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Ascorbic Acid stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the serum format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the serum Hanskin sells in Korea, Ascorbic Acid and all.
Key benefits
- Ascorbic Acid, the antioxidant this serum is built around
- Niacinamide on the same list, an active
- Cyanocobalamin on the same list, a vitamin
- Tocopherol on the same list, an antioxidant
- Ascorbic Acid named fourth on the manufacturer list printed on this page
- Original Korean Formula, the serum sold on Korean shelves
Key actives
Ascorbic Acidantioxidant
Ascorbic Acid is pure vitamin C, the most researched form and also the least stable: it needs a low pH and airtight packaging to stay active. It is an antioxidant used for the look of dullness and uneven tone. The name on the box points at it, and it is named fourth on this serum's own ingredient list.
Niacinamideactive
Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. The panel names it sixteenth on this serum's list, beside Ascorbic Acid.
Cyanocobalaminvitamin
Cyanocobalamin is vitamin B12, and it is a deep pink-red, which is why a formula carrying it often has a colour nobody added on purpose. It is used as a conditioning vitamin. The panel names it eighteenth on this serum's list, beside Ascorbic Acid.
Tocopherolantioxidant
Tocopherol is vitamin E. It is an oil-soluble antioxidant that protects the oils in a formula from going rancid and works on skin as an emollient, and it is regularly paired with vitamin C because each keeps the other going for longer. The panel names it eleventh on this serum's list, beside Ascorbic Acid.
Where does this serum go in my routine?
After toner and before moisturizer, morning and evening. Anything thinner than a serum goes on before it, and anything richer goes on after. If you are adding it to a routine you already like, give it a week on its own first, so what you see is the Ascorbic Acid and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market serum or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Ascorbic Acid and all. We match this serum to its Korean barcode before it reaches the shelf, which is the check that tells you which market release you are holding.
What else is on the list besides Ascorbic Acid?
Niacinamide, Cyanocobalamin and Tocopherol. The order they are printed in on this serum's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Ascorbic Acid sits relative to them. Ascorbic Acid itself is named fourth on it.

How to use
- Apply after cleansing and toning, patting or smoothing a small amount evenly over the face and neck. Follow with the next step in your routine, layering thinnest to thickest. Use morning and night unless your skin runs sensitive, in which case start with once daily.
Worth knowing

- Patch test on the inner arm first if you have known sensitivities

Niacinamide helps reduce the appearance of pores in a few ways. By strengthening the skin barrier and improving elasticity, pores appear less noticeable and more even.
