PRODUCT OVERVIEW Obagi Professional-C Serum 10% is a high-performance antioxidant facial serum formulated with 10% L-Ascorbic Acid, the pure form of vitamin C. It is designed for dry or sensitive skin that wants visible brightening and antioxidant protection without unnecessary irritation. The lightweight texture absorbs rapidly so it layers cleanly under moisturizer and sunscreen. Regular morning use helps support a brighter, more even-looking complexion while improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This serum fits a simple morning routine: cleanse, tone if desired, apply the serum, follow with moisturizer, and finish with broad-spectrum SPF. At 10% it offers a milder entry point into the Professional-C line, making it a practical choice for those new to vitamin C or with more reactive skin. KEY FEATURES 10% L-Ascorbic Acid, a gentler concentration suited to dry or sensitive skin. Lightweight, fast-absorbing serum texture. Minimalist formula focused on pure vitamin C delivery. Oil-free and designed to avoid heavy residue. Glass bottle with precision dropper for controlled application. Available in 1 fl oz and 0.42 fl oz sizes. Formulated for dry to sensitive and normal-to-dry skin types. Designed for consistent morning application as part of an antioxidant routine. HOW IT WORKS L-Ascorbic Acid is the pure, active form of vitamin C. At 10%, it helps neutralize free radicals that contribute to a dull, uneven skin tone. The formula supports a brighter, more even complexion and can improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles with regular use, while remaining milder than higher concentrations. The serum absorbs quickly into the skin so the active ingredients remain available. Antioxidant support works best when paired with daily broad-spectrum sunscreen. Always apply SPF after the serum and moisturizer in the morning. WHO IT'S FOR This serum is intended for adults with dry or sensitive skin who want a gentle daily vitamin C treatment. It suits people concerned with the appearance of uneven tone, dullness, or early fine lines and who prefer a lower-strength option. It is often a good starting point for those new to vitamin C or who find higher concentrations too intense. Normal to combination skin can also use it if a milder formula is preferred. Patch testing is recommended. This product is for external cosmetic use only and is not a treatment for medical skin conditions. WHY CHOOSE THIS PRODUCT Obagi Professional-C Serum 10% offers a lower concentration of pure L-Ascorbic Acid that prioritizes comfort for dry or sensitive skin. The formula is lightweight and absorbs quickly, making it easy to layer under daytime products. It provides the same core brightening and antioxidant benefits as higher strengths in the Professional-C line, but with reduced intensity. Clear usage instructions and consistent packaging with a precision dropper keep daily application simple. Customers looking for a professional-grade vitamin C serum that is gentle enough for reactive skin will find this option practical and focused.

Frequently Asked Questions +
What is Obagi Professional-C Serum 10%? +

It is a gentle antioxidant facial serum containing 10% L-Ascorbic Acid, designed to help brighten skin, even tone, and support antioxidant defenses with lower irritation potential than higher concentrations.

Who should use the 10% concentration? +

It is ideal for dry or sensitive skin, or for anyone new to pure vitamin C products. It also works well for normal-to-dry skin seeking daily antioxidant support without higher strength intensity.

Is the 10% formula really gentler than 15% and 20%? +

Yes. The 10% concentration delivers vitamin C benefits with lower risk of tingling and irritation. It is specifically positioned by Obagi as the most gentle option in the Professional-C range.

Can the 10% serum be a good entry-level vitamin C product? +

Yes. The 10% formula is an excellent starting point for those new to vitamin C serums or who have reactive skin. Many users then move to higher concentrations over time as their skin adapts.

How often should I apply the 10% serum? +

Once daily in the morning after cleansing and before moisturiser and sunscreen.

Can I use it at night? +

The manufacturer recommends morning use. Follow the product instructions for best results.

Will the 10% serum cause tingling? +

Mild tingling may occur, especially initially, but it is typically less intense than higher concentrations. It usually lessens within a week or two of consistent use. Stop if tingling becomes severe.

Does the serum change color? +

Vitamin C serums can range from clear to light amber. This is normal. Discard if it turns dark brown or develops an unusual odor, as potency may be reduced.

Is the 10% definitely suitable for sensitive skin? +

Yes. Obagi specifically positions the 10% concentration for dry or sensitive skin types. However, individual responses vary. Patch test first, and discontinue if severe irritation occurs.

How does the 10% differ from the 15% and 20% options? +

The 10% is the gentlest option, designed specifically for sensitive or dry skin and new users. The 15% is a balanced middle strength. The 20% is the highest concentration for experienced users with tolerant skin. Choose based on your skin type and vitamin C experience.
