Magic City Radiant C Serum

Brightening, Lightweight Oil-Based Serum for Glowing Skin

Ideal for all skin types—especially dry, delicate skin.

Formulated to hydrate, brighten, and calm, Magic City is an ultra-lightweight, oil-based serum that delivers the glow of a face oil—without the heaviness. Blending fast-absorbing botanical oils with tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, a gentle, oil-soluble form of vitamin C, this serum helps even skin tone and supports the skin barrier without irritation.

Unlike traditional face oils, Magic City melts in instantly, leaving skin silky—not greasy—making it ideal for both morning and night, even under makeup.

Why We Love It

Magic City is absolutely amazing! This lightweight oil-based serum absorbs effortlessly, leaving your skin silky smooth and glowing with a natural radiance. Plus, the scent? Simply heavenly. I know you'll fall in love with it!

I chose Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (TA) as the Vitamin C in Magic City. This oil-soluble form of Vitamin C is not only more stable but also much gentler on the skin compared to the common water-soluble form, L-Ascorbic Acid, found in many other serums.

Magic City (n.)

A byname for Birmingham, Alabama
A Vitamin C oil-based serum by Made

Named after our home, Birmingham—"The Magic City"—this serum draws inspiration from transformation. Just as the city rose from its mineral-rich soil into a Southern icon, Magic City is designed to help skin rebuild: from dullness and dryness to clarity and glow.

With a featherlight texture and barrier-supportive botanicals, it nourishes, calms, and brightens while delivering a radiant glow.

HOW TO USE:

Apply a few pumps to damp skin 2x daily. Use as the final step before makeup in the morning. If used with Florence, apply Magic City first, followed by Florence.

30 mL product includes 1 fl oz serum in a luxe violet glass pump bottle. 15 mL product includes 0.5 fl oz in an amber dropper bottle.
