| Verdict | Sallve is Brazil's leading clean-actives indie brand and the Sérum Antiacne is their acne workhorse. 2% salicylic acid, niacinamide, tea tree leaf oil, willow bark extract for natural BHA support, plus buchu (Barosma Betulina) — a South American botanical that's uncommon outside Brazil. Alcohol-free, fragrance-free formula. | Vult's Vitamina C 10% Serum is the mass-market Brazilian vitamin C that democratised brightening skincare. At R$40 (~$8), it uses sodium ascorbyl phosphate (SAP) — a water-soluble, stable vitamin C derivative that won't oxidise in Brazil's tropical heat. 10% SAP provides clinically meaningful antioxidant protection and melanin inhibition. Niacinamide adds sebum regulation and additional brightening. Lactic acid provides gentle exfoliation to improve vitamin C penetration and surface texture. The formula is intentionally simple — 11 ingredients, no exotic botanicals, no marketing-driven additions. Vult is Brazil's mass-market beauty brand (owned by Grupo Boticário), and this serum represents their entry into active skincare: effective concentrations at drugstore prices. For the Brazilian consumer who wants vitamin C benefits but can't justify R$180+ for Ada Tina or Dermage, this is the entry point. |
