Meet the Vitamin C Built for Sensitive Skin
If you have sensitive skin, you’ve likely had a love-hate relationship with Vitamin C. We all want the "glow" and the antioxidant protection, but too often, traditional Vitamin C serums come with a side effect of stinging, redness, or a strange, metallic scent.
At Starling, we believed you shouldn't have to choose between radiance and comfort. That’s why we created Super Bright—a luxurious, gentle Vitamin C cream designed specifically for those of us who need a brighter complexion without the irritation. It’s like a spot of sunshine for your skincare routine, even on the grayest winter days.
Why Super Bright is Different
The "secret" to a great Vitamin C is stability. Most formulas use L-ascorbic acid in a way that degrades quickly or requires a very low pH that causes sensitive skin to panic.
We took a different approach. We utilize a natural, glycerin-soluble Vitamin C that is stabilized and slow-releasing. This ensures that the potent actives are delivered into your skin effectively throughout the day, rather than all at once, which significantly reduces the risk of a flare-up.
And perhaps the best part? It is entirely scent-free. We’ve stripped away the "hot dog water" smell common in other serums, leaving you with nothing but a clean, fast-absorbing moisturizer that plays well with the rest of your routine.
The Ingredients: Up-cycled Beauty & Barrier Support
Super Bright isn't just about brightening; it’s about skin repair. We’ve fortified this formula with a blend of omega-rich extracts and potent antioxidants:
-
Upcycled Cranberry Fruit Extract: A powerful antioxidant that boosts radiance while being mindful of our planet.
-
Rosehip Seed Oil: Rich in omegas, it soothes the skin while strengthening the barrier for lasting vitality.
-
Neem & Rosemary Leaf: These botanicals provide essential skin repair and protection against environmental stressors.
-
Willow Bark Extract: Offers a very gentle hint of exfoliation to keep the skin texture smooth and ready to glow.
How to Use Your "Daily Sunshine"
Super Bright is a fast-absorbing cream-based serum, making it incredibly easy to layer. After cleansing (and perhaps a mist of plant waters), apply a small amount to your face and neck. For sensitive skin we recommend using this product 3-4x weekly. Safe for every day use for anyone who does not have sensitive skin. Follow with our Restore Barrier Cream to lock in that Vitamin C and keep your skin shielded from the elements.
