Rejuvenating Facial Serum with Ester C

Gentle Brightening & Age-Defying Serum for All Skin Types

Karen’s Botanicals formulated our Rejuvenating Facial Serum with Vitamin C Esters as a gentle, natural age-defying treatment designed to brighten the complexion, soften fine lines, and restore a youthful, healthy radiance. Formulated in a base of weightless Aloe Vera gel, precious plant oils, and therapeutic botanicals, this restorative serum deeply hydrates without leaving a greasy residue.

Unlike standard Vitamin C, we use a C Ester (Ascorbyl Palmitate) is a lipid-soluble, highly stable form of Vitamin C that absorbs efficiently into the skin to deliver potent antioxidant protection against free radicals and environmental stress. Recommended by dermatological experts for sun-damaged and maturing skin, it helps lighten age spots, improve elasticity, and repair extended sun exposure.

While ideal for mature, dry, and dehydrated skin, its fast-absorbing, light texture makes it equally beneficial for normal and oily skin types as a daily revitalizing boost.

Why You’ll Love It

·         Advanced Antioxidant Care: Features Ester C to defend against environmental stressors and free radical damage.

·         Brightens & Evens Tone: Visibly brightens dullness and aids in fading the appearance of sunspots and discoloration.

·         Weightless Hydration: Aloe vera base absorbs rapidly, making it suitable for layering under creams or makeup.

·         Smooths Fine Lines: Helps support skin tissue elasticity and refine texture around the face and delicate eye area.

·         Clean & Cruelty-Free: Free from synthetic fragrances and harsh additives; never tested on animals.

How to Use

Apply a few drops once or twice daily to clean skin across the face, neck, and gently around the eye area. Can be used morning and night as a standalone treatment or layered under your favorite Karen's Botanicals moisturizer.

Tip: When introducing any new active product to your routine, we recommend performing a patch test first to ensure compatibility with your skin.

Eco-responsability

Our
Sustainability Commitment

Ingredients

Organic. Every cultivated ingredient we buy carries the USDA Organic seal. Remember: Organic does not mean free of risk. Certified organic ingredients can still cause irritation, allergies, or sensitivities in some people, but buying organic is a healthy beginning. We keep researching natural, organic options, and we stay close to our roots: Karen's Botanicals began with plants and will continue with that original health pledge.

Wild-crafted.
Many of our ingredients are gathered from their natural habitats, and while there is no USDA certification for wild-crafted plants, we only harvest very small amounts at each gathering.  We take great care, so the land can sustain itself, and we stay mindful of the native life around every plant we select. 

Cruelty-free.
We have never tested our products on animals, and we don't buy ingredients tested on animals or from companies that test them. We simply never started, because it was unthinkable, and our customers held us to that standard. 

Packaging

Moving beyond plastic. We're replacing plastic with glass and metal, and it hasn't been easy. For many years we only used American-made containers, because shipping them across the ocean adds to their environmental cost. Finding the right US-made glass has taken time. Glass is durable, reusable, and recyclable, and several of our products have already made a switch. We are moving one item at a time, testing each to make sure it ships safely in glass.

Shipping.

 Until a few years ago, we shipped in bubble wrap. Now we cushion orders with paper weave, or with fiber material when paper isn't available.

Small batches

We make our products in small batches and in measured amounts. That keeps waste low and our formulas fresh, and heavy on the herbal material.  

What we're still working on

We keep exploring better materials, better suppliers, and fewer disposables, all in the service of a healthy planet and healthy people. We welcome your suggestions.

Youth Rejuvenating Facial Serum

I started using this wonderful product about two weeks ago, as part of my nightly facial routine. I love that it is moisturizing without feeling heavy or sticky. I use it not just around my eyes, but over my entire face, neck, and ear lobes (they are prone to wrinkles, too!). I also have started rubbing a dab of it over a scar I have had for several years, and I think it I am beginning to see a difference. I just love Karen's Botanicals!

Wonderful product.

I like the quality of Karen's products and this one is no different. I put a light coating on my face after nighttime washing and using rose toner, while face slightly damp. Then I use Calendula moisturizer on face and neck to sleep with. Feels great. not greasy. After reading the other reviews, going to use in morning too before using my Lavender moisturizer.

My day does not start without this product

I have been using this for a few years and it is all I use. If does not feel greasy and my face just absorbs it and my skin feels beautiful. I get lots of compliments on my skin and I am nearing 50! Love it

Ester C

I love this product. Something about it has changed though. The color for one and the consistency but it still does the job. I have been using it for years and love the way my skin feels

My skin feels fabulous

I love this product for both how it makes my skin feel and the way my skin looks when I am using it. I use it day and night and am thrilled with the results.

Exceptional!

This serum made a noticeable difference within the first day of use, and, the results are only getting better. I also apply this serum to my neck in the evening and wake up to skin that looks years younger. No commercial serum has ever produced results like this. Finally, an effective, 'clean,' cruelty-free and affordable facial serum. KB's has definitely gained a repeat customer in me.

"Thank you!"

I see a difference immediately! Love this product, I apply it in the morning after I wash my face, and it acts as a bronzer (provides an overall tan glow), it reduces the appearance of my pores (it's like vitamins for my face, leaves me with a clear one-tone complexion), and it makes my skin feel so soft!
I really love this product, I lent it to a friend who uses it instead of concealer/blush/powder/etc).

Absorbs beautifully!

Love it -- use day and night!

I love this product.

I use this twice a day! It's gentle but works. Nothing dramatic, but I am 53 and my skin looks very good for my age. Years of sun protection have helped, but this product makes a difference!

Facial Serum

My skin really soaks up this serum and does feel better and more moist.

Only problem is the dispenser which is too long and doesn't pump out the lotion. I cut it too shorten and may have to do it again, as it still doesn't work properly. I end up wasting much of it when I try pouring it out.
Other than that, it is very effective.

Youth Rejuvenating Facial Serum with Ester C

I love this product. I had initially wanted to try this serum for the wrinkle fighting claims. I am going through perimenopause and my skin has been getting fine wrinkles and has become very dull. Youth Rejuvenating Facial Serum with Ester C has been wonderful for my wrinkles and has brightened my skin. As an added benefit, it has completely cleared my hormonal acne on my jawline, cheeks and chin.

Anti-aging!

This serum absorbs so well into my skin and I use it as a base layer underneath sunblock ( Karen's lavender cream is a staple of mine as a sunblock!). I am 53 years old and am always mistaken for 15 years younger due to my lack of wrinkles and I have been using this serum for over 7 years!

Best natural product for my face

Love this face serum. It's natural and it works. I get accosted by facial sales people trying to sell me their product and once they look at my skin and ask me what I use, they have nothing bad to say. My combination skin never feels too dry or too greasy. I absolutely love it.

Excellent product

This serum soothes my face during the harsh winter and feels so good on my skin. It's now a go-to daily part of my life. Not oily; just leaves your face feeling like silk.

best serum ever for regular skin

It's winter in Boston & I absolutely am glowing from the neck up due to this serum. Not dry. Not itchy. Not anything I don't want for healthy skin in 20 degree weather. Thank you!

Excellent Serum

I have been using this serum, along with a couple of Karen's face creams, for a few weeks now. My face feels softer and more supple than ever. I especially love that my sensitive and allergy-prone skin is doing so well with this product. This is an excellent serum that I definitely plan to keep using!

Wonderful serum

I tried the sample and ordered the regular size as my skin felt wonderful with the serum. I wear it under the Sensual Amber Sage Cream and even in the Santa Anna winds my skin still feels moist. And the ingredients are nontoxic.

Hydrating

I like the way my skin feel after I put this serum on. It feels soft and hydrated. I use this after my Melissa toner and be for calendula and rose cream. The combination is just heavenly.

Thanks,

Younger skin!

This serum blends well into my skin without leaving it greasy and every since I started to use it along with the green tea serum, my friends have remarked that my face looks healthier and younger, with wrinkles diminishing and skin looking more pliable!
