Main Benefit
Bursting Vitamin Capsule Format
This serum contains visible orange vitamin capsules suspended in a watery base. When you apply it, the capsules burst open on contact with skin, releasing a concentrated dose of Vitamin C actives at the moment of use — fresher than a pre-mixed formula. The remaining serum absorbs quickly with no sticky residue.
Key Ingredients
Triple Vitamin C 15% — Stable, High-Dose Brightening
Three forms of Vitamin C at a combined 15% concentration: 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid (3rd ingredient — stable, converts to active Vitamin C in skin), Ascorbyl Glucoside (6th — gentle, brightening), and Ascorbic Acid (further in INCI — direct activity). Three forms cover different skin depths and stability profiles so you get consistent brightening without the oxidation or irritation that pure Vitamin C serums often cause. Niacinamide (2nd ingredient) adds a fourth brightening pathway by blocking melanin transfer — working alongside the Vitamin C from a completely different angle.
Carrot Vitality Complex — Natural Vitamin A Glow
Carrot Root Extract, Carrot Seed Oil, and Beta-Carotene form a Vitamin A precursor complex — Beta-Carotene converts to Vitamin A (retinol equivalent) in the skin, promoting cell renewal, improving texture, and giving skin a warm, healthy glow from within. This is the "carrot glow" effect — a softer, more natural-looking radiance than the sharp brightness of Vitamin C alone. Carrot also carries antioxidant properties that protect against daily UV and environmental damage.
Glutathione + Glucosylrutin + Sophorolipid Ferment
Glutathione reduces oxidised melanin in the skin — making existing dark spots lighter over time. Glucosylrutin (a stabilised form of Rutin, a plant flavonoid) adds antioxidant protection and brightens by reducing oxidative stress in skin cells. Candida Bombicola/Glucose Ferment (a sophorolipid — a fermentation-derived brightening active) adds a further brightening and antimicrobial dimension. Three antioxidant brighteners stacked alongside the Vitamin C system.
8-Layer HA + Ectoin + Ceramide NP + TECA-CLEAR™
Eight HA forms hydrate at every skin depth so brightness doesn't read as dry. Ectoin shields cells from UV, pollution, and environmental stress — protecting the glow from daily damage. Ceramide NP rebuilds the barrier. TECA-CLEAR™ (Asiaticoside + Madecassic Acid + Asiatic Acid — all three active centella compounds named individually) soothes and calms so the high-vitamin formula doesn't irritate sensitive skin. Panthenol and Allantoin further soothe and smooth.
Product Details
Full Description
The Centellian24 Madeca Vitamin 15+ Glowing Serum is a brightening serum with a distinctive format: orange vitamin capsules suspended in a watery base that burst open on application, releasing a concentrated Vitamin C payload freshly at the moment of use. The base serum absorbs quickly and leaves a luminous, non-sticky finish.
The formula is built around a 15% Triple Vitamin C system — 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid (stable, third ingredient), Ascorbyl Glucoside (gentle, sixth ingredient), and Ascorbic Acid — covering multiple Vitamin C pathways simultaneously. Niacinamide as the second ingredient adds a fourth brightening mechanism (melanin transfer blocking). Glutathione reduces existing pigmentation. Glucosylrutin and a sophorolipid ferment add antioxidant depth. The Carrot Vitality Complex (Carrot Root Extract, Carrot Seed Oil, Beta-Carotene) contributes Vitamin A precursors for natural cell renewal and the warm "carrot glow" effect alongside the Vitamin C brightness.
Eight HA forms deliver layered hydration. Ectoin and Ceramide NP protect the barrier. TECA-CLEAR™ (all three active centella compounds individually) soothes any sensitivity. Gluconolactone (PHA) gently exfoliates to help the brightening actives absorb more effectively. Pyridoxine HCl (Vitamin B6) supports skin metabolism. Panthenol and Allantoin repair and soothe.
Non-comedogenic tested, skin irritation tested, dermatologically tested. Suitable for all skin types.
⚠ Contains Alcohol Denat. (4th ingredient) — may not be suitable for very alcohol-sensitive skin. Not fragrance-free.
How to Use
- 01After cleansing and toner, apply before moisturiser as the serum step. AM and PM.
- 02Pump an appropriate amount — you'll see the orange capsules. Apply to the face and spread evenly. The capsules will burst and blend in as you spread the serum.
- 03Gently pat until fully absorbed. The formula dries to a luminous, non-sticky finish.
- 04Always follow with SPF in the morning — Vitamin C increases photosensitivity and the brightening effect is lost without sun protection.
Suitable For
- —Dull, uneven, or tired-looking skin wanting a visible glow boost
- —Dark spots, post-acne marks, and sun damage from daily exposure
- —Those who've found standard Vitamin C serums irritating — the stable forms here are significantly gentler
- —Anyone building a brightening routine who also wants hydration and barrier support in one serum
Contains Alcohol Denat. — may not suit very alcohol-sensitive skin. Use SPF daily. Non-comedogenic, dermatologically tested. 30ml.
