This facial serum is a skincare treatment combining vitamin C (brightening/antioxidant) with AHA (alpha-hydroxy acid; exfoliating) in a lightweight formula. In Kenya it’s marketed under the QBD/Young Skin label. Jumia Kenya+2Starsam Naturals+2
Here are some of its claimed features:

Brightens and evens skin tone by fading dark spots and discoloration. Jumia Kenya+2Starsam Naturals+2

Smooths skin texture by gently exfoliating dead skin cells via AHA. Jumia Kenya

Suitable for most skin types and positioned as vegan and cruelty-free (according to the listing). Jumia Kenya+1

???? How to use it

Based on the product descriptions:

Cleanse your face and pat dry. Jumia Kenya+1

Apply a few drops of the serum to face (and neck, if desired). Gently massage or pat in. Jumia Kenya+1

Follow with a moisturizer (and in the morning, a sunscreen).

Frequency: Many listings suggest once or twice daily (morning and night) for best results. Jumia Kenya+1

Important: Because the product contains exfoliating AHA, always pair with broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day (not always explicitly stated in the listing, but a general skincare best practice).

???? Key Ingredients & Their Roles

Since full detailed ingredient list isn’t readily found from the listings I found, here are the highlighted “hero” actives and what they generally do:

Vitamin C: A potent antioxidant. Helps to brighten skin tone, fade pigmentation, protect skin against oxidative/free-radical damage, and support collagen synthesis. (General skincare science)

AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acids): These are surface exfoliants (common ones: glycolic acid, lactic acid) that help remove dead skin cells, improve texture, brighten dull skin, and allow other actives to penetrate better.

Hyaluronic Acid & Vitamin E: The listing mentions these as supplementary ingredients providing hydration and skin barrier support. Jumia Kenya

A brighter, more radiant complexion (less dullness).

Smoother skin texture (less rough patches) due to gentle exfoliation.
