General rule: apply thinnest/most active ingredients first, thicker/occlusive ingredients last.
brightener
The master antioxidant your liver makes. Topically it's a gentle brightener; orally it's a wellness-industrial complex. K-beauty glow-up in a bottle, if the bottle is stabilised.
antioxidant

The challenge is formulation stability — L-ascorbic acid oxidizes easily, and many products degrade before you finish the bottle.
