Serums - Vitamin C, Antioxidants & Targeted Treatment

A serum's job is different from everything else in a routine: to deliver a concentrated dose of actives straight to the skin, in a formula light enough to absorb quickly and get out of the way of whatever comes next. Whish keeps this collection tight and purposeful - three formulas, each built around a different combination of actives, rather than a dozen near-identical options that make it hard to know which one you actually need.

Comparing the Three Serums

Each of these does a slightly different job, and picking the right one comes down to what you're trying to fix.

  • The Bakuchiol Vitamin C+E Serum is a face serum built for brightening and evening out skin tone. Vitamin C is one of the most well-studied ingredients for fading dullness and supporting a more even complexion, and pairing it with vitamin E adds antioxidant support against everyday environmental stress.
  • Founder's Vault Bakuchiol Boosting Drops is a more concentrated, treatment-style formula made for both face and body - the one to reach for when you want a stronger dose of actives layered under your regular serum or moisturizer, rather than used as a replacement for it.
  • The A+B+C Magic Serum is a full body serum, combining multiple vitamins in one formula for a more all-around approach - a category few other skin care brands offer. It's the pick if you want the same level of concentrated care for your body that you're already giving your face.

Each of these targets a different part of your routine. The Vitamin C+E Serum is formulated specifically for the face, so start there if brightness and tone on your face are the main concern. The Boosting Drops are the most versatile of the three - they mix into any other product, face or body, to add a concentrated boost wherever you need it. The A+B+C Magic Serum stands apart as a full body serum, a category most other skin care brands don't offer at all, so it's the pick if you want the same concentrated care for your body that you're already giving your face.

Getting the Timing Right

A serum works best when applied to clean, slightly damp skin, right after cleansing and before anything heavier goes on. That order isn't arbitrary - serums are formulated with smaller molecules than creams, so they absorb more effectively when there's nothing sitting on the skin ahead of them. Give the serum a minute to sink in before layering a moisturizer on top; skipping that pause means the moisturizer ends up doing the absorbing instead of the serum.

If you're using more than one serum, apply the thinner, more watery formula first and the richer one second, giving each serum about 30 seconds to absorb before adding the next layer. Most people see improved hydration and glow within a week or two, though changes in tone and texture tend to take four to six weeks of consistent use before they're clearly visible - something worth keeping in mind before deciding a serum "isn't working."

For the rest of your routine, this collection pairs with the moisturizer, mask, and eye treatment ranges, or start with the full Skincare Collection to shop by category.

Frequently Asked Questions

Look for bakuchiol, vitamin C, and vitamin E, commonly used together for their brightening, smoothing, and antioxidant properties. They work well together to support a firm, even tone over time, without the irritation that traditional retinol can cause.

Apply serum after cleansing and toning but before moisturizer, when your skin is clean and slightly damp for better absorption. Serums have smaller molecules than creams, so they penetrate deeper when applied first. Use them morning and night for best results, allowing 30-60 seconds for absorption before adding moisturizer.

Yes, you can layer serums if they target different concerns, but apply from thinnest to thickest consistency. For example, use a concentrated treatment first, followed by a vitamin C serum for brightness. Allow each serum to absorb for 30 seconds before applying the next, and always finish with moisturizer to seal everything in.

Serums are lightweight, concentrated treatments with active ingredients that target specific concerns like dark spots, wrinkles, or dullness. Moisturizers are thicker and designed to hydrate and protect your skin barrier. You need both. Serum delivers targeted treatment while moisturizer locks it in and provides surface hydration throughout the day.

Many people notice improved hydration and a glow within 1-2 weeks, while anti-aging results, such as reduced fine lines and improved texture, typically emerge after 4-6 weeks of consistent use. Serums deliver concentrated actives into the skin, so daily application and a little patience go a long way toward visible, lasting improvements in skin quality.
