Obagi Professional C Serum 10% – Medical Grade Vitamin C for Sensitive & Combination Skin

Obagi Professional C Serum 10%: The Ideal Entry-Level Medical Grade Vitamin C

Obagi Professional C Serum 10% is the perfect starting point for anyone new to medical-grade vitamin C, or for those with sensitive and combination skin seeking powerful antioxidant benefits without the risk of irritation. Formulated with 10% pure L-Ascorbic Acid — the most bioavailable and clinically researched form of vitamin C — this obagi professional c serum delivers visible brightening, dark spot reduction, and fine line improvement through consistent daily morning use.

At a dermatologist-approved pH level, the formula ensures optimal absorption and efficacy while remaining gentle enough for daily use on sensitive skin. The lightweight, fast-absorbing texture layers seamlessly under moisturizer and SPF — making it the ideal foundation for a complete anti-aging morning routine. Backed by Obagi's decades of clinical expertise and part of the award-winning Professional-C line recognized by Allure and Oprah Daily.

Key Ingredients

• 10% L-Ascorbic Acid (Pure Vitamin C): The gold standard form of vitamin C — brightens skin tone, reduces hyperpigmentation, stimulates collagen production, and provides powerful antioxidant protection against environmental stressors
• Ascorbyl Glucoside (Vitamin C Derivative): A stable, gentle vitamin C derivative that delivers complementary brightening and antioxidant benefits alongside L-Ascorbic Acid
• Propylene Glycol: A humectant that draws moisture into the skin and supports even distribution of active ingredients
• Ethoxydiglycol: A penetration enhancer that improves the absorption of L-Ascorbic Acid into the deeper layers of skin for maximum efficacy
• Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Peel Extract: A natural brightening botanical rich in antioxidants that supports an even, radiant complexion
• Citrus Paradisi (Grapefruit) Fruit Extract: Provides additional antioxidant support and a light, refreshing natural fragrance

• Use every morning after cleansing and toning on clean, dry skin
• Dispense 4–6 drops into clean fingertips or palm
• Apply evenly to face and neck using upward, outward motions
• Allow 1–2 minutes to fully absorb before applying moisturizer and SPF
• Always follow with broad-spectrum sunscreen in the morning
• New to vitamin C: start every other day for the first 1–2 weeks, then increase to daily use
• Mild tingling upon first application is normal and typically subsides with continued use
• Store in a cool, dark place — refrigeration helps extend product stability
• Serum may naturally darken slightly over time — light amber color is normal and does not affect efficacy
• Discard if serum turns dark orange or brown — a sign of significant oxidation
