The Bio Whenua Vitamin C Serum - Brighten & Revive is a concentrated, oil-free and fragrance-free facial serum made to brighten dull skin, hold in moisture, and keep your face feeling firm and smooth. At the heart of this active blend is 20% Vitamin C, paired with Ferulic Acid, Hyaluronic Acid, and Provitamin B5. Made with a hydrating, plant-derived base of Propanediol and Vegetable Glycerine, this clear, fast-absorbing serum refreshes tired skin without feeling oily or heavy, leaving your face looking bright, plump, and awake.
Unlike oil-based serums, this water-free and oil-free formula uses plant-derived Propanediol (a gentle skin conditioner made from corn sugar) and Glycerine to dissolve and protect pure Vitamin C so it stays fresh and active on your skin. Because pure Vitamin C can quickly lose its strength when exposed to air and light, it is paired with Ferulic Acid (a natural antioxidant found in the cell walls of plants like oats and rice) which helps keep the Vitamin C stable while doubling its daily antioxidant support helping to protect skin cells from everyday wear and tear caused by sun and pollution. Meanwhile, Hyaluronic Acid and Provitamin B5 act as natural moisture magnets that draw water into the outer layer of your skin to keep it looking plump, smooth, and hydrated.
Skincare Ritual & Well-being Applications: The active vitamins, plant acids, and moisture-binding ingredients in this serum work together to brighten your complexion and look after your skin's natural protective barrier. In skincare and herbal guides, pure Vitamin C and plant-based Ferulic Acid are well known for supporting healthy skin structure, softening the look of fine lines, and helping to even out patchy or dull skin tone [1, 2].
To balance the active strength of 20% Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid and Provitamin B5 help calm redness, comfort dry spots, and keep the outer layer of your skin soft and bouncy [2]. Because this concentrated serum contains no oils or added scents, pressing a couple of drops onto damp, freshly misted skin (or mixing two drops directly in your palm with a few sprays of your favourite Bio Whenua floral toner) helps it glide smoothly and evenly across your face and neck.
Technical Specifications & Botanical Identity:
Brand: Bio Whenua (by Zurma)
Product Type: Oil-Free & Fragrance-Free Active Vitamin C Facial Serum
Volume: 30ml
Key Botanical & Nutritional Actives: 20% Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid), Ferulic Acid, Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate), Provitamin B5 (Panthenol), Plant-Derived Propanediol, and Vegetable Glycerine
Aroma Profile: Fragrance-free; has only a faint, clean, natural scent from Ferulic Acid and Vitamin C (no essential oils or artificial scents added)
Absorption Rate: Fast; a concentrated, oil-free liquid that spreads best over damp or freshly toned skin and soaks in cleanly
Formulation & Safety Guidelines:
Application: Made for daily facial care. After washing your face and misting generously with your favourite floral water spray (toner), gently press the pump halfway to dispense 1 to 2 small drops into clean palms. Apply directly onto damp skin, or mix in your palm with 3 to 5 drops of floral toner for an easy, even glide across your face, neck, and upper chest. Allow to soak in for 1 to 2 minutes before applying your favourite face oil or moisturiser. If using in the morning, always follow with sunscreen.
Dermal Limits & Clinical Safety: Oil-free and fragrance-free. Because 20% Vitamin C is a high-strength active ingredient, you may feel a mild, brief tingling sensation when first applying it to your skin. If you have sensitive skin, start by mixing 1 drop into your toner or moisturiser every second day until your skin gets used to it. Kept fresh and safe from bacteria and mould using Geogard 221 (a gentle preservative approved for natural and organic skincare).
Storage & Degradation: Pure Vitamin C breaks down quickly if it gets warm or is left in bright light. Always keep the cap on tightly after each use and store the bottle in a cool, dark cupboard away from direct sunlight and bathroom heaters.
Critical Warnings: For use on the outside of the skin only. Keep out of your eyes. Do not apply to broken, freshly shaved, or sunburnt skin. We always recommend testing a small drop diluted with water or toner on the inside of your arm for 24 hours before using it on your face for the first time. If strong redness or stinging occurs, stop using it and wash the area with cool water.

20% Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid), Propanediol, Glycerine, Panthenol (Provitamin B5), Ferulic Acid, Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate), Geogard 221 (Dehydroacetic Acid & Benzyl Alcohol).

Ivan Lemajic I accidentally came across this vitamin c serum (i used really expensive version with similar ingredients) and OMG I'm so in love with it!! My skin feels amazing,it faded my pigmentation and post pimple marks and my skin is sooo smooth and more my complexion is more even. I cant be more happy!! I'm actually really surprise how simple ingredient list is and they use an actual potent form of vitamin c( l ascorbic acid)and not cheap derivatives!! I highly recommend it!!
P.S. It can be tricky to use as its so liquid, so keep that in mind and just press VERY lightly on the dispenser pump.
I highly recommend it!!

Claire Purchased this product as it contains both ferulic and hyaluronic acids and Vit C, which is a combo quite hard to come by in one ‘natural’ New Zealand made skincare product. Extremely pleased with how it heals any small skin impurities, such as blemishes, very quickly! Honestly it’s phenomenal. Also my forehead lines have softened.
I mix it in with a toner (5 drops), otherwise I find it is really tricky to apply. Take care when pressing pump down as it can dispense far too much product. Apart from that I will definitely be purchasing this magical potion again!
