Most Vitamin C serums oxidize before they reach their potential. Sunnyside uses two oil-soluble, highly stable derivatives — Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate and 3-O-Ethyl-L-Ascorbic Acid — at a combined 15% concentration, formulated to stay potent from first pump to last. Visibly improves the appearance of dark spots and uneven skin tone.

AM: On clean, dry skin, gently press 1–2 pumps onto face, neck, and chest, avoiding the eye area. Allow to absorb before the next step.

AM Routine: Utopia → Galilee → Sunnyside → Owel → Grand → SPF

Note on pump residue: A small amount may dry in the nozzle between uses. Dispense gently for the first pump of each session.

Pore Confession: Sunnyside is your AM active. Moonbeam is your PM active. They work the same skin renewal pathway from opposite directions — Vitamin C protecting and brightening by day, retinaldehyde renewing overnight. Use both consistently for compounded results.

Skin appears more luminous and hydrated immediately after application.

A good skincare routine requires dedication (that's on you) – With consistent use, complexion appears visibly brighter and more even.

Build Your Skin Strategy

Sunnyside is your AM active. Moonbeam is your PM active. Together they cover the full 24-hour renewal cycle. In the AM, Sunnyside sits after Galilee to amplify antioxidant defense before Vitamin C is applied.

Understanding Vitamin C Derivatives

Despite traditional Vitamin C's (aka Ascorbic Acid) notorious instability in cosmetic formulations, derivatives like Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate and 3-O-Ethyl-L-Ascorbic Acid rise above to deliver maximum results without the shortened shelf life or oxidative risks. These oil-soluble derivatives don't just boast enhanced stability to preserve their efficacy, their superior skin penetration capabilities optimize the absorption and delivery of vitamin C's high-performance benefits like brightening, antioxidant defense, and the stimulation of collagen synthesis while remaining gentle enough for sensitive skin types.
