20% L-Ascorbic Acid / Pure Vitamin C
The hero ingredient in Recharge CE.
L-Ascorbic Acid is the biologically active form of Vitamin C and provides:
Antioxidant defence + brightening support + visible firmness support + more even-looking tone.
It helps neutralise excess free radicals generated by:
UV exposure + pollution + environmental stress.
Vitamin C is also involved in normal collagen synthesis, which supports its use in routines targeting:
Fine lines + photoageing + loss of firmness.
For Chris & Alley, I would keep the outcome measured:
Supports firmer, smoother and more radiant-looking skin.
Avoid extreme claims such as:
“Restores collagen production to that of a newborn.”
The current manufacturer confirms the finished-product concentration as:
20%.
1% Vitamin E / Tocopherol
Lamelle has updated Recharge CE with 1% Tocopherol, providing complementary antioxidant activity alongside Vitamin C.
Vitamin E supports:
Antioxidant defence + skin-conditioning + lipid protection.
Vitamin C and Vitamin E are commonly paired because they provide complementary antioxidant activity within different environments of the skin.
The 1% concentration is currently confirmed by Lamelle.
Bisabolol
A soothing skin-conditioning ingredient helping support comfort in a formula containing a high concentration of pure Ascorbic Acid.
It is especially useful because some customers may experience temporary:
Tingling + warmth + mild sensitivity
when first introducing high-strength L-Ascorbic Acid.
Zingiber Officinale / Ginger Root Extract
Provides complementary:
Antioxidant + skin-conditioning support.
Ginger is a supporting ingredient rather than the primary reason to choose the product

Best used in the morning.
After cleansing, allow the skin to dry fully.
Apply a small drop of Recharge CE to the fingertips.
Gently distribute over the:
Face + Neck + Décolleté
and massage lightly until the suspension has spread evenly.
Allow to absorb before applying:
Moisturiser → Broad-spectrum SPF 50+.
Frequency
Introduce according to skin tolerance.
For skin already accustomed to Ascorbic Acid:
Once daily in the morning
is the most practical routine.
If additional use is appropriate, Recharge CE may also be applied in the evening, but do not combine it in the same application with a retinoid-containing product.
What You May Feel
A brief:
Tingle + mild warmth
can occur when pure L-Ascorbic Acid is applied.
This should settle quickly.
Persistent:
Burning + significant redness + swelling + prolonged irritation
is not something to push through.
Reduce frequency or discontinue and reassess the routine.
