GeneXC Serum

Vitamin C, twice sourced

Ascorbic acid sits second in the formula, a serious dose by any C-serum standard, and Kakadu plum backs it with the same vitamin in its native fruit matrix, escorted by gallic and ellagic acid polyphenols. An Australian native holding the world record for natural vitamin C, in a serum sold in Australia: the provenance writes itself.

The self-renewing catalyst

The last ingredient is one of the most interesting: a manganese complex of the EUK-134 family, built to mimic the body’s own antioxidant enzymes. Unlike ordinary antioxidants, which are spent when they take their hit, a catalytic antioxidant resets itself and works again, a small amount keeps working all day.

The survival kit

Trehalose, the sugar desert organisms use to endure total drought, with plankton extract and hydrolysed proteins form the formula’s protective core, joined by ATP, amino acids (proline, acetyl tyrosine) and green tea. In cosmetic terms, the whole bench points one way: defending skin’s surface machinery from daily oxidative stress.

The glow current

The house sugarcane-and-fruit botanicals bring their gentle turnover assist, enough for radiance, well short of a peel.

Skin serious about ageing prevention and radiance that wants the most complete antioxidant serum on the shelf, particularly good under Australian sun exposure levels, and a natural upgrade for devoted vitamin C users.

Worth knowing

Contains lemon and orange fruit extracts, patch test with a known citrus allergy. Strong vitamin C can tingle briefly on first uses; this settles. Fragrance-free. The name refers to the formula’s cellular-defence focus, in regulatory terms this is a cosmetic, and we describe it as one.

Mornings on clean, dry skin: 3–4 drops over face and neck, allowed to absorb before moisturiser and SPF. Evening use is fine too for the committed.

Store cool and tightly capped; high-dose vitamin C deepens in colour as it ages.

Use alongside

The morning-antioxidant chair, occupied at its highest spec, it replaces, never joins, Aox Ferulic, Extreme C 20 or Intensive C. Daily Dynamic Hydrator or Eclipse over it completes an all-iS morning under SPF; an evening retinoid opposite it completes the classic day-night pairing. Keep it apart from leave-on acid treatments in the same routine.
