6% Vitamin C + 2% Alpha Arbutin Serum

6% Vitamin C + 2% Alpha Arbutin Serum

TRIPLE ANTIOXIDANT TREATMENT TO TARGET HYPERPIGMENTATION + THE SIGNS OF AGEING

"The first vitamin c product that didn't irritate my skin! Worked fast to fade sunspots (wear your SPF kids). There was a huge difference in 3 days. I now apply this religiously every night." Sandra, UK

This is THE triple antioxidant serum to brighten and even your skin's tone while stimulating collagen production and defending against free radicals to defy the signs of ageing. We've done this by taking a super stable form of vitamin c  (doesn't oxidise!) and combining it with naturally derived alpha arbutin and ferulic acid in a blend of skin loving rosemary and carrot extracts.

This serum will be your skin's superhero with just a few drops daily, beautifully complimenting and boosting our facial products.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long until I see results?

While many users see results in a week, we recommend 6 weeks as the realistic time frame to see real results with the full benefits from 3 months.

Will it oxidise?

Nope! Not if its stored correctly -away from direct sunlight and heat sources.

We use 2 super stable forms of magnesium that do not convert to vitamin C until they come into contact with your skin!

We also do not use clear bottles (light degrades your skincare!) or droppers (oxygen degrades your skincare too!) for ultimate efficacy and stability.

Can I use this with other actives?

The answer is almost always yes!

Unlike direct vitamin C (ascorbic acid), our serum will not degrade peptides or ceramides and plays well with many actives including bio retinol.

We would not recommend layering with retinols, retinals, AHAs, BHAs or PHAs.

Can I use the serum while pregnant or breast feeding?

While our serum has not been contraindicated for use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, we'd recommend referring to the ingredient list to best enable you to choose what's best for your situation.

Care should always be taken to avoid ingestion by baby while breastfeeding.

How is it made?

All products are researched, developed and hand crafted in our studio in The Cotswolds, England using naturally derived ingredients from sustainable sources.  Shopping with us supports fair trade and woman owned coops worldwide.

Super skin

I’m on my 2nd jar of renewal cream and my skin is amazing, plus I’ve just discovered refills are available so when I order my 3rd “jar” it will be less expensive too! Plus I’ve just been taken for 7 years younger than I am! Another bonus

This is easily the most effective cleansing balm I’ve used

This balm is amazing - it made my skin so smooth, clean and not dry. I find it most effective when followed up with a second cleanser. Also I noticed I had way less acne when I was using it. After when I ran out I started using an old tub of my previous oil cleanser and I started breaking out again. The only downside is the green stuff is hard to get off the edge of the sink and the packaging is not the most convenient. Can’t wait for my second tub to arrive!!

I have only recently started

I have only recently started using this cream but already I am very happy with the results, I have very sensitive skin that becomes red and itchy with regular break outs. My skin feels well moisturised without being greasy and less irritated. So far so good, I hope it carries on to improve my skin.

Great cream

I love this cream. I had dry patches beside my nose, and on my chin. I’d tried everything, including oils on their own. Nothing worked, till now .. Thank you :blush: for making a great cream, that really does, what it says it will... :raised_hands::skin-tone-2:

Amazing product

I have had psoriasis for ten years and it affects alot of my face, this cleansing balm is amazing I can use it as a mask or face wash I use it twice a day and it doesn’t leave me feeling dry like other face cleansers, my psoriasis is so much less red. I’ve been using this alongside the rescue balm, spf moisturiser and the serum and they have worked wonders! Would definately recommend this product to anyone with dry or sensitive skin!

It works when I never expected it to

Like most who try Thunderbird products, we’ve tried many others and failed many times. You believe the hype and end up disappointed. For me the Enzymatic cleansing balm broke that cycle. Within three days my skin felt different. Like it belonged to me. Like it wasn’t red and flaking a couple of hours after applying the next big thing. I would highly recommend.

Amazing for middle aged skin

I'm in my 50's and this cream has done more for hydrating and smoothing my complexion than any other. It loses a mark only for the slightly odd smell, not sure I'd use it on a date night. Brilliant effects though.

Gorgeous texture but sadly really doesn’t suit my perimenopausal skin

I really wanted to love this cream as I had read so many wonderful reviews, but sadly it just does not suit my skin at all. I have been using it for 3-4 weeks now, and it leaves my skin very dry and flaking. The rescue cream is much better for me.

This leaves my skin soft.

I wasn’t sure about the green colour at first, but it is a wonderful product and it leaves my face feeling very soft and refreshed. The redness has certainly diminished but not totally gone.

Beware of this balm

I followed the instructions to the letter, which resulted in large very sore red raised patches all over my face for over a fortnight. I did not get a response to my email querying this, so would advise to not buy, or if you do to tread with care; only using a little and always with water - and not as per the instructions.

We are sorry to hear that! I have looked through our emails and we cannot find any contact from your email. Of course, we recommend ceasing using the product and contacting your healthcare provider to investigate a potential allergy xx

Extraordinary

As a skincare buff I usually go with proven products, specialists companies etc and to be honest I gave the sample pack a try as an impulse buy… HOWEVER - not even a week later I was convinced to completely replace my full routine with thunderbird! So I have now chucked everything else and do a full AM & PM and my skin is so happy, so am I!
Will definitely stick to these!
Also the value - size - usage is really good!

Thanks!
