Radiance Reimagined

by Circadia 

Environmental damage, stress, and time can dull even the healthiest skin. As we age, natural levels of vitamin C decline and it becomes harder for our bodies to replenish them through diet or supplements. At the same time, external factors—ultraviolet (UV) rays, pollution, lifestyle, and oxidative stress—trigger inflammation that leads to collagen degradation, hyperpigmentation and barrier impairment. This translates to an increase in dark spots, sagging, fine lines, and an uneven skin tone. Fortunately, topical vitamin C remains one of the skin’s most powerful allies, helping to restore clarity, firmness, and glow.  

The Radiance Facial is a high-performance treatment powered by a blend of four bioavailable vitamin C derivatives—each selected for their stability, permeability, and efficacy. Enhanced with enzymatic exfoliants and phytoactives, this treatment delivers immediate luminosity without downtime while addressing long-term skin health at the cellular level.  

The Four C’s of Clinical Excellence 

To better understand the effectiveness of this treatment, let’s review four key elements: collagen, clarity, calming, and correction. 

Collagen  

Collagen, the skin’s primary structural protein, declines with age and UV exposure. The Radiance Facial stimulates fibroblastic activity within the dermis, supporting neocollagenesis through ascorbic acid’s role as a cofactor in pro-collagen synthesis. This leads to improved tensile strength, dermal thickness, and overall elasticity. The result? Smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin texture. 

Clarity  

Uneven skin tone, melasma, and photodamage stem from irregular melanogenesis. The Radiance Facial employs multiple forms of vitamin C to inhibit tyrosinase—the rate-limiting enzyme in melanin production—while simultaneously protecting against reactive oxygen species. The multitiered delivery allows for melanin modulation across both superficial and basal layers, producing a visibly brighter and more uniform complexion with each application. 

Calming 

Sensitive or compromised skin often presents with erythema, irritation, or barrier disruption. The Radiance Facial addresses this with antioxidant-rich botanicals and anti-inflammatory peptides that reduce cytokine activity, support lipid matrix recovery, and soothe reactive skin. Vitamin C derivatives within this treatment provide oxidative neutralization while strengthening the stratum corneum—enhancing skin’s resilience without compromising efficacy. 

Correction  

Beyond prevention, the Radiance Facial offers corrective intervention for photodamage, fine lines, and surface irregularities. Lemon and pineapple enzymes promote proteolytic exfoliation to accelerate desquamation and refine texture. Meanwhile, lipid-soluble vitamin C forms penetrate deeply to optimize cellular turnover and encourage healthy keratinocyte migration. This multifaceted approach promotes clarity, smoothness, and repair—all without the inflammatory cascade of traditional acid peels. 

The Multiform Matrix: Why Four Forms of Vitamin C Matter 

The Radiance Facial’s vitamin C complex includes four distinct derivatives—each with unique roles in penetration depth, metabolic activity, and antioxidant function: 

  • Stabilized L-ascorbic acid—offers rapid results with proven brightening efficacy 
  • Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate—lipid-soluble, ideal for deep dermal activity and collagen induction 
  • Magnesium ascorbyl phosphate—known for calming sensitive skin and boosting hydration while inhibiting tyrosinase activity  
  • Aminopropyl ascorbyl phosphate—penetrates deeply into the skin to stimulate collagen production at the dermal level, providing targeted, long-lasting benefits for skin firmness and elasticity 

This multiform strategy ensures layered delivery, enhanced bioavailability, and superior client tolerance, even for sensitive or compromised skin. 

Polish. Protect. Perform. 

The Radiance Facial is more than a facial—it’s a science-backed, results-driven ritual. Each step is curated to polish away dullness, protect against daily aggressors, and perform at the cellular level for cumulative, long-term benefits. 

Your clients will leave with visibly brighter skin after one session. But the true magic lies in its ability to build and preserve results over time. Whether you’re treating pigment disorders, textural concerns, or collagen depletion, the Radiance Facial empowers estheticians to deliver results-driven outcomes with luxury-level experience. Redefine radiance. Elevate your menu. Deliver results that last.

Step 1 (Optional)  

Apply half a pump of Vitamin Veil Cleanser to the face in circular motions and remove thoroughly. 

Step 2  

 

Combine a pump of Amandola Milk Cleanser with a little water to create a foam and apply to the face in circular motions. Remove thoroughly and pat the skin dry.

Apply the mixture to the face and neck with a fan brush. Massage for 2 minutes with gloved hands. Apply 3–5 sprays of Enzyme Activator Spray and massage for 2 more minutes. Apply 3–5 sprays of pH Neutralizer Spray and massage for another minute. Remove product using a cool, damp towel. Apply 3–5 sprays of Citric Spray while the client purses their lips and holds their breath. 

Step 5  

 

Apply 4–5 sprays of Licorice & Bearberry Brightening Mist to the skin, followed by a mixture of two drops Cyto-Comm Serum and two drops Vitamin C Reversal Serum. Massage gently into the skin until fully absorbed. A roller or gua sha tool can be used. 

Step 6  

Dispense 2 tsp of Alpha Gel Mask into a portion cup. Using the provided scoop, add two scoops of L-Ascorbic Acid Powder to the mask. Mix until the powder is fully dissolved. Apply to clean skin with a fan brush, avoiding contact with the eyes. Leave on for 5–10 minutes. Remove with a lukewarm, damp towel and pat skin dry.
