Nécessaire The Body Vitamin C | 2.5% Vitamin C
Treat Your Body Like Your Face® — Nécessaire's The Body Vitamin C is a high-performance brightening gel-serum designed for body care. The formula delivers the same level of advanced care expected from premium facial serums, in a lightweight, fast-absorbing texture that effectively transforms skin tone, clarity, and luminosity.
Key Ingredients
At the heart of the product is 2.5% Pure Stabilized Vitamin C (THD Ascorbate) — widely recognized as the gold standard of Vitamin C in cosmetics. THD Ascorbate is an oil-soluble, highly stable form of Vitamin C that penetrates both the outer and deeper layers of the skin, ensuring maximum efficacy. Its neutral pH makes it suitable even for sensitive skin — it brightens and corrects discoloration without irritation.
The formula is further enriched with:
• Glycerin — a powerful humectant that draws moisture to the skin and provides continuous hydration
• Tranexamic Acid — targets dark spots, post-blemish marks, and uneven pigmentation
• Enzymes — help to smooth and renew skin texture, giving it a more radiant appearance
