Axiology’s Brightening Serum is a lightweight, silky serum oil designed to help brighten the look of dull skin and promote a more even-looking complexion while delivering lightweight hydration and antioxidant support.

Formulated with a stabilized Vitamin C and antioxidant-rich reishi mushroom, this serum helps skin look radiant, refreshed, and visibly glowing without irritation or heaviness.

Why It Works

Vitamin C helps improve the look of dullness and uneven tone while supporting a bright, luminous appearance.

Reishi mushroom, rich in antioxidants, helps support skin exposed to daily environmental stressors and promotes a healthy-looking glow.

A blend of nourishing seed oils- including jojoba, cranberry, raspberry, and chia—helps maintain hydration and leave skin looking smooth and supple.

Texture & Feel

Why Reishi Mushrooms

Reishi mushrooms are rich in antioxidants and commonly used in skincare to help support skin exposed to environmental stress. In this formula, reishi helps promote a calm, balanced look and enhances skin’s natural radiance.

Scent

A subtle herbaceous blend where bright citrus meets earthy warmth.
Fresh bergamot is balanced with soft coriander for a comforting, grounded scent- clean, uplifting, and never overpowering.

Size: 1.0 fl oz

Our Commitment to Sustainability

The beauty industry creates 120 billion units of packaging waste every single year and Axiology was part of the problem. Yes our lipsticks were ethically sourced, cruelty-free, vegan, and the tubes were made from 50% post-consumer recycled plastic, but it was still waste that would eventually end up in a landfill or our oceans. So in 2022, we ditched all of the plastic for our makeup products and focused our efforts on fighting the beauty industry’s massive waste problem.
