This means that for every final product that touches a consumer’s skin, we can identify the manufacturing and extraction location, all the way to the specific crop of the raw material.

7. Was Artistry Skin Nutrition™ Vitamin C + HA3 Daily Serum tested on animals?
No. The Artistry™ brand opposes animal testing. Our products are not tested on animals unless they are required by government regulations to do so. Furthermore, we actively support alternatives to required animal tests — going as far as supplying alternative non-animal testing methods to government agencies for consideration.
8. Does Artistry Skin Nutrition™ Vitamin C + HA3 Daily Serum contain any animal-derived ingredients?
As with all Artistry Skin Nutrition™ skin care formulas, Vitamin C + HA3 Daily Serum is free from animal- derived ingredients and the global formulas (excluding China) are Registered with The Vegan Society.
9. What is The Vegan Society and what does it mean that Artistry Skin Nutrition™ products are registered with them?
In 1944, The Vegan Society created the word “vegan,” and their Trademark is the authentic international vegan standard. Today, products must pass specific criteria to be eligible for registration. A dedicated and experienced team checks each individual product application against the criteria, and queries any potential inclusion of animal ingredients, including those not present in the final product.
- Animals: The Vegan Society understands the word “animal” to refer to the entire animal kingdom, that is all vertebrates and all multicellular invertebrates. The word may be used either as a noun or an adjective and to refer to either a species or an individual animal, depending on context. Unless otherwise stated, it usually means non-human animals.
- Animal ingredients: The manufacture and/or development of the product, and where applicable its ingredients, must not involve, or have involved, the use of any animal product, by-product or derivative.
- Animal testing: The development and/or manufacture of the product, and where applicable its ingredients, must not involve, or have involved, testing of any sort on animals conducted at the initiative of the company or on its behalf, or by parties over whom the company has effective control.
10. Where does the Hyaluronic Acid in Artistry Skin Nutrition™ Vitamin C + HA3 Daily Serum come from?
The highly purified Hyaluronic Acid used in the formula is sourced from biotechnology. It is derived from microorganisms and is not obtained from any animal sources.
11. Where does the vitamin C in Artistry Skin Nutrition™ Vitamin C + HA3 Daily Serum come from?
As you know, there are two sources of vitamin C included in Artistry Skin Nutrition™ Vitamin C + HA3 Daily Serum. The vitamin C in the initial fluid (before fresh mixing in the powder) is from our Nutrilite™-grown Acerola Cherry extract. The 100% Pure vitamin C powder found in the Activating Cap (known chemically as L-ascorbic acid) is created synthetically, which is true for virtually all of the world’s supply of this highly biologically functional form of vitamin C.
12. Why does the vitamin C oxidize?
While topically applied vitamin C is renowned for its anti-aging prowess, it presents a challenge for skin care formulas: as soon as pure vitamin C is dissolved in a solution (like a serum or creme), it begins to degrade, rapidly losing effectiveness. This is due to the laws of chemistry and can’t easily be changed in a consumer setting. It’s important to remember that we have conducted numerous internal tests to ensure that the product delivers full efficacy for at least 30 days. At some point after that time it will no longer fully deliver on its promises.
13. Does Artistry Skin Nutrition™ Vitamin C + HA3 Daily Serum contain parabens?
No, Artistry Skin Nutrition™ Vitamin C + HA3 Daily Serum has been effectively preserved without the use of parabens. It can be classified as paraben-free.
14. Does Artistry Skin Nutrition™ Vitamin C + HA3 Daily Serum contain gluten?
No wheat- or barley-derived ingredients have been included in Artistry Skin Nutrition™ Vitamin C + HA3 Daily Serum. Note, however, that we cannot guarantee our beauty and personal care raw materials have been stored or processed in a manner free from gluten cross-contamination risk.
15. What is the shelf life of Artistry Skin Nutrition™ Vitamin C + HA3 Daily Serum, and how long can I use it after it’s been opened?
The shelf life of the unopened product is three years. Once the product is activated by pressing the button and mixing the 100% Pure vitamin C powder with the serum, we recommend that the product be used within 30 days to ensure full product efficacy.
- NOTE: As the activated Artistry Skin Nutrition™ Vitamin C + HA3 Daily Serum nears the 30-day point, you may see a yellow tint develop in the formula. This is a helpful visual indication that the product is nearing the end of its peak potency. While the product remains safe and effective to use for a full 30 days, after 30 days we recommend activating a new bottle.
16. How should Artistry Skin Nutrition™ Vitamin C + HA3 Daily Serum be stored?
Before and after activation, Artistry Skin Nutrition™ Vitamin C + HA3 Daily Serum should be stored in a cool, dry place and out of direct sunlight.
- Keep away from heat and light, including direct sunlight. These can make the product turn yellow faster and may eventually reduce product efficacy.
- Consider refrigerating it: Storing it in the fridge is not required but helps slow down the potential yellowing and maintain product efficacy.
17. Is Artistry Skin Nutrition™ Vitamin C + HA3 Daily Serum packaging recyclable?
The paper carton is recyclable in some areas; check with your local recycling programs for details. Artistry Skin Nutrition™ cartons are produced from paper, a renewable resource. The paper comes from sustainably managed forests practicing responsible forest management.

SERUM USE
1. Is Artistry Skin Nutrition™ Vitamin C + HA3 Daily Serum compatible with other Artistry™ skin care products?
Yes, Artistry Skin Nutrition™ Vitamin C + HA3 Daily Serum was created to be aesthetically compatible with other Artistry Skin Nutrition™ and Artistry™ products. However, when adding a product to your skin care routine, it is always a good practice to only introduce one new product at a time, and to wait at least one week before introducing any other new products. Since our formulas are powerful, we recommend that you personalize your skin care routine based upon your own perceived skin sensitivity.
2. Can I use Artistry Skin Nutrition™ Vitamin C + HA3 Daily Serum with my current Artistry Skin Nutrition™ regimen?
Yes! Artistry Skin Nutrition™ Vitamin C + HA3 Daily Serum is an essential part of your morning-and-night Artistry Skin Nutrition™ regimen. It should be applied after your toner and before your moisturizer.
3. Can I use Artistry Skin Nutrition™ Vitamin C + HA3 Daily Serum with Artistry Signature Select™ Personalized Serum?
Yes! Artistry Skin Nutrition™ Vitamin C + HA3 Daily Serum and Personalized Serum are ideal together. After using your Artistry Skin Nutrition™ toner, first apply Artistry Skin Nutrition™ Vitamin C + HA3 Daily Serum, then Personalized Serum, finishing with your moisturizer.
4. Why do I use Artistry Skin Nutrition™ Vitamin C + HA3 Daily Serum before other serums?
Artistry Skin Nutrition™ Vitamin C + HA3 Daily Serum water-fresh formula absorbs quickly into skin, so we recommend applying it before other serums and moisturizers that have more body to their texture. Don’t worry, our scientists are confident that the HA3 Triple Hyaluronic Infusion does not inhibit the penetration or action of any formulas that follow.
5. Why is my Artistry Skin Nutrition™ Vitamin C + HA3 Daily Serum running out before 30 days?
Be sure to use just 4–5 drops of this concentrated formula per application, morning and night. If you use more, it will not last the full 30 days.

2. Is Artistry Skin Nutrition™ Vitamin C + HA3 Daily Serum appropriate for sensitive skin?
Artistry Skin Nutrition™ Vitamin C + HA3 Daily Serum has been thoroughly tested on groups of individuals with sensitive skin. In this testing, there was no evidence of allergic response or extreme irritation. However, we recognize that no testing program can guarantee that all individuals who wish to use this product will not react. We recommend adjusting your skin care regimen based on your own perceived skin sensitivity.
3. Can Artistry Skin Nutrition™ Vitamin C + HA3 Daily Serum be used around the eyes?
Artistry Skin Nutrition™ Vitamin C + HA3 Daily Serum is not recommended for use directly on the eye or eyelids. Application around the eye area should be kept to crow’s feet (outside corner of the eye), along the expression lines. Avoid getting product into eyes.
4. Can I use more than the recommended amount of Artistry Skin Nutrition™ Vitamin C + HA3 Daily Serum?
You should use just 4–5 drops of this concentrated formula per application, morning and night.
5. If I (or a customer) experience any skin sensation after applying Artistry Skin Nutrition™ Vitamin C + HA3 Daily Serum, what should I do?
Artistry Skin Nutrition™ Vitamin C + HA3 Daily Serum has been fully safety tested. However, every individual’s skin is different. A tingling sensation and tightness is expected for some users, typically with more sensitive skin. This sensation is transient (meaning it won’t last long) and normal to experience when using Artistry Skin Nutrition™ Vitamin C + HA3 Daily Serum. However, if tingling causes skin irritation, wash off the product and discontinue use.
6. Can Artistry Skin Nutrition™ Vitamin C + HA3 Daily Serum be used after a sunburn? How about after a strong cosmetic treatment?
Generally, we do not recommend that any cosmetic product be used after a sunburn or after any cosmetic treatment that causes extreme inflammation. Artistry Skin Nutrition™ Vitamin C + HA3 Daily Serum and any other products should only be used after inflammation has subsided. For use after chemical peel or laser treatment, a customer should consult their physician.
7. Can Artistry Skin Nutrition™ Vitamin C + HA3 Daily Serum be used during pregnancy?
Safety studies of cosmetics are not conducted on pregnant women. Since skin condition changes during pregnancy, whether to use or not use this product should be discussed by the woman and her physician.
