FAQs
Most Vitamin C serums use synthetic ascorbic acid — a lab-derived form of Vitamin C that can cause irritation, oxidise quickly and destabilise in sunlight. SADHEV's serum uses plant-derived Vitamin C from Amla and Kakadu Plum — two of nature's most potent natural sources of this vitamin. These plant forms are gentler on the skin, more stable, and come with additional botanicals that synthetic ascorbic acid cannot offer. The formulation draws on a 200-year Ayurvedic lineage — Amla has been used in Ayurvedic skin rituals for centuries, long before synthetic Vitamin C existed.
Seven ingredients work in combination. Amla — the Indian gooseberry and one of Ayurveda's most revered botanicals — is exceptionally rich in natural Vitamin C and protects skin from environmental damage and premature ageing. Kakadu Plum — sourced from Australia — contains one of the highest concentrations of natural Vitamin C of any ingredient on earth, with powerful anti-ageing properties. Pomegranate Seed Oil is a potent antioxidant that fights free radicals and supports skin renewal. Liquorice brightens and evens skin tone, reduces pigmentation and hydrates deeply. Lemon Peel Extract conditions and refines skin texture. Grape Seed Oil delivers additional antioxidant protection. Natural Vitamin E seals moisture and balances sebum production. Each is sourced from Sadhevana, our own organic farm, or from trusted organic suppliers.
Yes. Vitamin C from Amla and Kakadu Plum inhibits melanin production — the process that causes dark spots and uneven pigmentation. Liquorice actively brightens existing discolouration. Consistent daily morning use over four to eight weeks shows visible improvement in skin tone evenness, reduction in dark spots and a natural brightening of the complexion. For deeper pigmentation concerns, pair with SADHEV's Under Eye Gel in the eye area and Aloe Vera & Saffron Gel with Kumkumadi Tailam across the face for a complete brightening ritual.
Apply in the morning, after cleansing and toning with SADHEV's Rose Water, and before your moisturiser or face gel. Take two to three drops, warm between fingertips and press gently onto face and neck. Always follow with SPF when stepping outdoors — Vitamin C increases the skin's sensitivity to UV light and sunscreen amplifies the brightening benefits by protecting against further sun-induced pigmentation.
