Vitamin C Season
Vitamin C Season at Aiya ✨
Vitamin C is essential skincare food — it supports glow, firmness, and skin resilience exactly when your skin needs it most, especially when things feel a little dull or tired. It's also one of the few ingredients with real evidence behind it for supporting collagen production, which is why it shows up in routines meant for the long term, not just a quick glow before an event.
Here's the Vitamin C lineup at Aiya this season — Melumé, Dr. Medion, Mediplorer, and Instytutum each bring something a little different. Not sure which one's right for you? Visit Aiya or send us a DM and we'll help you find the right fit 💛
Melumé Super C-Shot 25%
A water-free, oil-in-serum that brightens without feeling greasy. It's concentrated, fast-absorbing, and layers easily under the rest of your routine.
It's formulated with 25% Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (THD) — a stabilized, oil-soluble form of Vitamin C that resists oxidation better than water-based versions, alongside glutathione and Vitamin E for extra antioxidant support.
- Anti-Age
- Brightening
- Antioxidant Protection
Melumé Super C-Cream 20% (THD + 7HA)
A rich follow-up to your serum — it smooths, plumps, and helps lock the glow in so it lasts through the day.
It pairs 20% THD Vitamin C with seven molecular weights of hyaluronic acid, so hydration is delivered at both the surface and deeper layers of skin rather than sitting on top.
- Smoothing
- Plumping
- Brightening
Dr. Medion Vitamin C Edit
Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. Three ways to bring Vitamin C into your routine, from a lightweight essence to a rich cream.
The line is built around APPS, a dual water- and oil-soluble Vitamin C derivative that penetrates deeper than conventional forms to support collagen production and elasticity, delivered through a three-phase emulsification technology designed to be gentle enough for long-term, everyday use.

Mediplorer CO2 Masks
Two carbonating treatments with different intensities — the CO2 Gel Mask is an intensive, high-strength treatment (not suitable for sensitive skin), while the CO2 Sheet Mask is the gentler everyday option.
The Gel Mask combines a high concentration of CO₂ with peptides and Vitamin C to stimulate microcirculation and visibly brighten and refine texture. The Sheet Mask instead relies on rose placenta extract, acetylated hyaluronate, and marine algae extracts for firmness and moisture — no Vitamin C, just deep hydration.

3 Rules for Vitamin C That Actually Works
- Start low, go slow: 2–3x a week is plenty if you're new to it.
- Pair it with SPF: Vitamin C works best alongside daily sun protection.
- Keep it out of direct light: this helps protect potency over time.
Vitamin C: Quick Questions
Can you use Vitamin C every day?
For most formulas, yes — once daily is standard, usually in the morning under SPF. Stronger treatments like carbonated masks are typically used weekly instead of daily.
Does Vitamin C work with retinol?
They can be used in the same routine, but many people find it simpler to use Vitamin C in the morning and retinol at night rather than layering both at once.
What does Vitamin C actually do for skin?
It's an antioxidant that helps defend against everyday environmental stress, supports an even skin tone, and plays a role in the skin's natural collagen production.
