What is Vital C5?
(stabilized vitamin C + five-ingredient complex)
Vital C5 combines stabilized vitamin C (ascorbic acid) with four supporting antioxidants (resveratrol, green tea, ferulic acid, vitamin E) for broad-spectrum free-radical protection and brightening. It is gentler than active treatments like tretinoin or salicylic acid, making it suitable for sensitive skin and daily use. Results are cumulative over 8-12 weeks.

Frequently asked questions
How do I use Vital C5 Cream?
Applied to the skin, once a day, in the morning. The starting prescription is 1 pump each time. Your physician sets your own dose and it is printed on your label.
What exactly is in it?
Vitamin C 5%, Niacinamide 5%, Resveratrol 1%, Vitamin E 1%, Hyaluronic Acid 0.3%.
How much arrives in each shipment?
1 tube at the starting strength, shipped to your door from a licensed US pharmacy.
Should I use Vital C5 or vitamin C serums?
Both work similarly. Serums are lighter and absorb faster; creams provide more hydration. Choose based on your skin type. Vital C5 is convenient as an all-in-one; serums are minimalist.
Can I use all four together?
Yes. Apply in order: GHK-Cu cream + Vital C5 in morning, HydroTone as hydrating layer, LuminEye under eyes. At night, use GHK-Cu again. They layer well.
Can I use these with active treatments like tretinoin?
Yes. Use actives at night; these in morning or as base layers. They support and protect your skin while tretinoin accelerates renewal.
How long before I see results?
Immediate: improved hydration and texture. At 4-8 weeks: brightening and firmness. At 12 weeks: noticeable anti-aging benefit. Results compound.
Are these sufficient anti-aging alone?
These are maintenance and support. For significant wrinkle reduction or dark spot removal, combine with active treatments (tretinoin, hydroquinone, etc.). Alone, these prevent aging and support radiance.
