Product details
2% natural vitamin C · 1% ferulic acid · 1% sea buckthorn oil · Hyaluronic acid · Vegan · 30 ml
Brightness, without the sting
Elin is a lightweight vitamin C serum that brightens and evens the look of your skin tone with a stabilised form of vitamin C. Ferulic acid and sea buckthorn add antioxidant support, hyaluronic acid keeps skin hydrated, and a blend of organic oils leaves it soft rather than greasy.
Key benefits
- Brighter, more even-looking tone: 2% vitamin C (ascorbyl glucoside) softens the look of dullness and dark spots over time.
- Antioxidant support: 1% ferulic acid and sea buckthorn oil help protect against everyday stress.
- Hydrated skin: two forms of hyaluronic acid plus sodium PCA.
- Soft finish: jojoba, sweet almond, avocado and rosehip oils.
How to use
Morning and/or evening, press 2 to 3 drops into cleansed skin before your moisturiser. In the morning, always finish with SPF.

Common questions
Will it sting like other vitamin C serums?
Unlikely. It uses ascorbyl glucoside, a stabilised form of vitamin C, instead of high-strength pure L-ascorbic acid. As with anything new, patch test first.
Can I use it with the retinol alternative serum?
Yes. The easiest split: vitamin C in the morning, the retinol alternative in the evening.
Does it contain nuts?
Yes: sweet almond oil. Skip it if you have a nut allergy.
Does it smell?
Lightly, of sweet mandarin and citrus from natural essential oils. It is not fragrance-free.

Honest timeline
What to expect
Hydrated and comfortable
Hyaluronic acid and sodium PCA hydrate from the first use. A light serum that sits well under your moisturiser and SPF.
A brighter-looking glow
Skin tone starts to look a touch brighter and more even, especially where dullness was the main concern.
Dark spots look softer
Judge it here, not before. With daily use and daily SPF, dark spots look gradually softer. Gentle by design, so results build slowly.
Our honest claims
We’d rather prove it than claim it
COSMOS Natural certified
Independently certified natural by Ecocert, reviewed from raw-material sourcing through to packaging, not just the label.
Made & safety-assessed in the EU
Formulated and produced in Latvia under the EU Cosmetics Regulation, which requires an independent safety assessment before a single bottle is sold.
Vegan & cruelty-free
No animal-derived ingredients and no animal testing, banned in the EU since 2013, and independently certified on top.
Stabilised vitamin C
2% ascorbyl glucoside: a bound form of vitamin C the skin converts gradually, so it stays stable in the bottle and gentle on the skin.
99% natural origin
99% of the formula is of natural origin and 13% is organic, as declared by the manufacturer under the COSMOS standard.

The full routine, in one step
These are formulated to work together. Layer them in order and each one does less work on its own.
Good to know
Questions, answered honestly
Is this suitable for sensitive skin?
It is dermatologically tested and uses a gentle, stabilised vitamin C. Two things to know: it contains sweet almond oil and fragrance from natural essential oils. Skin is personal, so patch test on the inside of your arm for 24 hours first.
How soon will I see a difference?
Skin renews itself in roughly a 28-day cycle, so give a new routine a full month before you judge it. Hydration tends to show first. Tone, texture and fine lines take longer, and how much changes differs from person to person.
In what order do I apply these?
Cleanse first, then serum on slightly damp skin, then eye cream, then moisturiser last to seal everything in. In the morning, finish with SPF.
Is this vegan and cruelty-free?
Yes. No animal-derived ingredients and no animal testing. Testing cosmetics on animals has been banned across the EU since 2013, and this formula is certified vegan on top of that.
Where are the products made?
Formulated and produced in Latvia, within the EU, under the EU Cosmetics Regulation. That regulation requires an independent safety assessment of every formula before a single bottle may be sold.
What does shipping cost and how long does it take?
Shipping within the Netherlands is free on orders over €50. Order today and your parcel is dispatched within 24 hours on working days.
