Serum of Plenty 30 ml

The Serum of Plenty by Eco By Sonya is an intensive vitamin C serum for skin that could use more radiance, evenness, and firmness.

The centerpiece of the formula is 15% pure ascorbic acid – an effective concentration for dull complexions, hyperpigmentation, and early to more pronounced lines. The serum is particularly well suited to normal, dry, mature, and combination skin; oilier skin can also use it when the focus is on radiance and a more even skin tone. Sensitive or highly reactive skin, on the other hand, should gradually acclimate to the high vitamin C concentration.

• Product type: high-performance vitamin C serum with activation system
• Skin type: normal, dry, mature, and combination skin; introduce gradually on sensitive skin
• Main benefits: supports increased radiance, a more even skin tone, and smoother-looking skin
• Vitamin C: 15% pure ascorbic acid for antioxidant protection and targeted care for hyperpigmentation and lines
• Activation: two components are mixed only before the first application to keep the sensitive vitamin C as fresh as possible
• Key ingredients: vitamin C, daisy, hyaluronic acid, kakadu plum, aloe vera, and apricot kernel oil
• Texture: lightweight serum with hydrating and nourishing components
• Quality: exclusively natural or certified organic ingredients, vegan and cruelty-free

What really makes Serum of Plenty special is the activation system. The formula initially consists of two separate components that are fully mixed together only before the first application. This protects the sensitive vitamin C until that moment, when it becomes part of the finished serum. Once activated, the lightweight texture can be used in the morning and/or evening and should be used within six months.

We also really like the accompanying combination of active ingredients. Instead of water, organic aloe vera juice forms the basis of the serum – a welcome difference from many classic vitamin C serums, in which Aqua is listed first. Daisy extract and kakadu plum support a fresher, more balanced-looking complexion, while glycerin and hyaluronic acid provide additional hydration. Apricot kernel and jojoba oils give the skin softness. Despite its high vitamin C concentration, the serum therefore does not feel like a purely functional active treatment, but pleasantly nourished and balanced.

Key Ingredients

• 15% pure ascorbic acid: Ascorbic acid is the pure, biologically active form of vitamin C and acts as a powerful antioxidant against oxidative stress. With regular use, it supports the skin's natural collagen production, can make fine lines appear smoother, and helps visibly even out hyperpigmentation and an uneven skin tone. The 15% concentration makes Serum of Plenty a targeted active treatment rather than just a light antioxidant serum.
• Organic daisy extract: Daisy is particularly popular in formulations for uneven or dull-looking complexions. The extract complements vitamin C with antioxidant and skin-nourishing plant compounds, making the combination especially interesting when hyperpigmentation or older blemish marks appear more visible.
• Aloe vera, glycerin & hyaluronic acid: These three humectants provide an important counterbalance to the active vitamin C base. Aloe vera is the first ingredient in the formula, while glycerin and hyaluronic acid bind water and help the skin feel smoother, plumper, and pleasantly nourished after application.
• Gluconolactone: Gluconolactone belongs to the polyhydroxy acids and combines very gentle exfoliating action with moisture-binding properties. It supports a smoother, fresher-looking skin surface without turning the formula into a classic acid peel.
• Kakadu plum, apricot kernel & jojoba oils: Kakadu plum adds antioxidant plant compounds to the formula, while apricot kernel and jojoba oils supply the skin with lipids and support its suppleness. Together, they give the highly concentrated vitamin C serum a distinctly more nourishing character and make it particularly suitable for dry or more mature skin.

How to Use

• Before the first application, add the entire contents of the Activator to the glass bottle of Serum of Plenty.
• Screw the dropper back on tightly and shake the bottle vigorously for at least 30 seconds until the components are fully combined.
• The serum is now activated and should be used within six months.
• In the morning and/or evening, apply a few drops to clean, dry skin on the face, neck, and décolleté.
• If you have sensitive skin, begin every second or third evening and gradually increase the frequency according to your skin's tolerance.
• A slight, short-lived tingling sensation may occur with 15% ascorbic acid. If the skin feels distinctly burning or remains irritated, discontinue use temporarily.
• Follow with a suitable moisturizer. For dry skin, a few drops of Organic Glory Oil can be applied in the evening as the final step in your routine.
• When using the serum in the morning, always apply sunscreen afterward.

Serum of Plenty or Serum of Clear?

Serum of Plenty is the better choice when radiance, hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone, and lines are the main concerns. The 15% pure ascorbic acid makes it the antioxidant brightening and pro-ageing serum in the Eco-by-Sonya range.

Serum of Clear, on the other hand, focuses more strongly on clogged pores, blackheads, oily skin, and uneven skin texture with 10% lactic acid and salicylic acid. The two serums therefore have clearly different focuses – Plenty for radiance and evenness, Clear for pores and texture.

About Eco By Sonya

Eco By Sonya was founded by Sonya Driver on Australia's Gold Coast and combines natural and organic ingredients with formulas designed to deliver effective active ingredient concentrations. In addition to its renowned self-tanners, the brand has therefore developed a skincare range that combines modern ingredients such as pure ascorbic acid, hyaluronic acid, and bakuchiol with plant extracts and oils in a very natural way.

Serum of Plenty demonstrates this approach particularly well: 15% pure vitamin C is not simply added to a long ingredient list, but deliberately kept fresh through the activation system and balanced with hydration, plant extracts, and lipids.

FAQ

Which skin type is Serum of Plenty suitable for?
The serum is particularly well suited to normal, dry, mature, and combination skin. It is also a very suitable active treatment for dull skin, hyperpigmentation, or an uneven complexion. Because it contains 15% pure ascorbic acid, sensitive or highly reactive skin should begin slowly with just a few applications per week.

What makes Serum of Plenty special?
The combination of 15% pure ascorbic acid and the activation system. The two components are mixed together only before the first application, keeping the sensitive vitamin C separate until then. Hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, daisy, and plant oils also complement the intensive active base with nourishing benefits.

Why does the serum have to be activated before the first application?
Pure ascorbic acid is sensitive to water, oxygen, and light and becomes less stable over time. Keeping the components separate until first use means the finished formula is only created when you actually begin using it.

How long can Serum of Plenty be used after activation?
Eco By Sonya recommends using the activated serum within six months. The bottle should be kept tightly closed and protected from excessive heat and direct sunlight.

Can Serum of Plenty be used in the morning?
Yes. Vitamin C is very well suited to a morning routine because its antioxidant properties are a useful complement to daily sun protection. A suitable broad-spectrum sunscreen should always be applied afterward.

Can the serum lighten hyperpigmentation?
With regular use, vitamin C can help hyperpigmentation and an uneven skin tone appear less pronounced. Daisy extract and kakadu plum complement this focus on a clearer and more even-looking complexion.

Why does the serum sometimes tingle?
15% pure ascorbic acid is an active concentration and may cause slight, short-lived tingling, especially at first. Intense burning, persistent redness, or significant irritation are not desired effects; in that case, discontinue use temporarily.

Can I use Serum of Plenty and Serum of Clear together?
In principle, both products can be part of the same skincare routine, but they are both highly active. We recommend introducing each serum separately at first and observing how your skin responds. Particularly sensitive skin should use the products on different days or at different times of day.
