Dr. Colombo's Clinical Promise

"Best feel of any vitamin C I've ever tried. Because it's lipid-soluble and time-released, it delivers brightening and antioxidant protection without the sting, the pilling, or the greasy finish that put so many people off vitamin C."

An essential and powerful antioxidant comprised of lipid-soluble tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate Vitamin CE Ferulic that time releases into the skin for longer-lasting protecting and correcting benefits.

Vitamin C without the sting. Lipid-soluble tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate skips the irritation, tingling, and oxidation problems of traditional L-ascorbic acid — for skin that's always found vitamin C too harsh.
Time-release protection. It releases into the skin gradually for longer-lasting antioxidant defense and brightening — and stays stable far longer than water-based vitamin C.
"Best feel of any vitamin C." Dr. Colombo's words — silky, never greasy, and gentle enough that even oily and sensitive skin can wear it.

Vitamin C works. If you can stand it.

Traditional vitamin C — pure L-ascorbic acid — is famously effective and famously difficult. It stings, it can pill or tingle, it oxidizes into a useless brown liquid within weeks, and for sensitive or oily skin it's often more trouble than it's worth. So a lot of people give up on the single best-studied brightening antioxidant there is.

The Booster uses a smarter form. Lipid-soluble tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate — a stable Vitamin CE Ferulic complex — penetrates deeply and time-releases into the skin for longer-lasting protection and correction. It defends against free-radical and environmental damage, brightens uneven tone, and supports collagen, all in a silky, non-greasy finish gentle enough for every skin type. As Dr. Colombo puts it: the best feel of any vitamin C she's tried.

Lipid-soluble Vitamin CE Ferulic · Time-release delivery · Suitable for all skin types

What It Does

Antioxidant defense, brightening included.

  • 01

    Defends Against Damage

    A powerful antioxidant complex neutralizes the free radicals from sun and pollution that drive premature aging — your daily layer of protection.

  • 02

    Brightens & Evens

    Vitamin C is the gold-standard brightener, fading the look of dullness and uneven tone for a more radiant, luminous complexion.

  • 03

    Time-Release Delivery

    The lipid-soluble form releases gradually into the skin, extending its protecting and correcting benefits well beyond application.

  • 04

    Gentle Enough for All

    Esterified and fat-soluble, it skips the sting and irritation of L-ascorbic acid — tolerable even for oily and sensitive skin.

  • 05

    Stays Stable

    Unlike water-based vitamin C that oxidizes and browns within weeks, this stable ester stays potent and effective far longer.

  • 06

    Silky, Never Greasy

    A lightweight finish that absorbs cleanly and layers beautifully under moisturizer and sunscreen — the feel reviewers love.

The antioxidant trio, stabilized.

Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate

A lipid-soluble, highly stable vitamin C ester that penetrates deeply and time-releases into the skin — brightening tone, supporting collagen, and defending against free radicals without the sting or oxidation of L-ascorbic acid.

Vitamin E (Tocopherol)

A nourishing antioxidant that works synergistically with vitamin C — together they neutralize a broader range of free radicals than either does alone.

Ferulic Acid

A plant antioxidant that stabilizes the vitamin C and E complex and boosts its photoprotective power — the classic "CE Ferulic" pairing dermatologists rely on.

Time-Release System

The lipid-soluble delivery means the antioxidants release gradually rather than all at once — extending protection and correction throughout the day.

The same brightening, protective power as classic vitamin C — in a stable, lipid-soluble form Dr. Colombo calls the best-feeling she's ever used.

HOW TO USE

A morning shield of glow.


01 CLEANSE FIRST

Start with clean skin in the morning. Vitamin C antioxidants work best applied early, before the day's sun and pollution exposure.


02 APPLY A FEW DROPS

Smooth a thin layer over the face. Because it's lipid-soluble and time-released, a little goes a long way and lasts longer on skin.


03 MOISTURIZE, THEN SPF

Follow with your moisturizer, then sunscreen. Vitamin C and SPF are a powerful daytime antioxidant-plus-protection pairing.


04 ALTERNATE WITH YOUR RETINOID

Use The Booster in the morning and your retinoid, like The Reverser, at night — the classic vitamin-C-by-day, retinoid-by-night routine.

Sensitive skin? Because it's esterified and fat-soluble, The Booster is gentler and longer-lasting than typical vitamin C — but if your skin is sensitive, start every other day and build up. Very sensitive skin may prefer the lower vitamin C concentration in The Age Eraser instead.

Full Ingredients

Ethyl trisiloxane, Cyclopentasiloxane, Polysilicone-11, Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, C12-13 Alkyl lactate, Tocopherol, Feruloyl soy glycerides and Bisabolol

CUSTOMER REVIEWS

Real Reviews. Real Results.

Everything you need to know before buying.

What kind of vitamin C is in The Booster?

It uses lipid-soluble tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate in a Vitamin CE Ferulic complex — an esterified, fat-soluble form of vitamin C. It's more stable and longer-lasting than traditional L-ascorbic acid, and it time-releases into the skin for sustained protecting and correcting benefits.

I usually get burning from vitamin C serums — can I use this?

Most likely, yes. Because it's esterified and fat-soluble, The Booster is less irritating than typical water-based vitamin C and lasts longer on the skin, allowing for less frequent use. If you have sensitive skin, use it every other day. Very sensitive skin may prefer the lower vitamin C concentration in The Age Eraser moisturizer.

Is it good for oily or acne-prone skin?

Yes. The Booster is non-comedogenic and suitable for all skin types, including oily and blemish-prone skin. Its silky, non-greasy finish is one of the things customers love most about it.

When should I apply it?

In the morning, after cleansing and before moisturizer and sunscreen. Antioxidants like vitamin C are most valuable during the day, when they help defend skin against sun and environmental free radicals.

Can I use it with my retinoid?

Yes — they're a classic pairing. Use The Booster in the morning for antioxidant protection and brightening, and your retinoid like The Reverser at night for renewal. This vitamin-C-by-day, retinoid-by-night routine is one Dr. Colombo recommends.

Will it oxidize and turn brown like other vitamin C?

Far less so. Pure L-ascorbic acid is notoriously unstable and oxidizes quickly. The lipid-soluble ester in The Booster is much more stable, so it stays effective for longer rather than degrading into an ineffective brown liquid.
