Go-To Skincare: Zoe Foster-Blake launches new brightening vitamin C serum after selling off stake

The skincare brand behind a best-selling face oil beloved by thousands of women has launched a new brightening serum, after the founder Zoe-Foster Blake recently sold off a controlling stake in her company for $89million. 

Go-To Skincare has built up a huge following around the world for its simple, effective and reasonably-priced skincare products, the latest of which is a $59 Brightening Vitamin C Serum that promises a radiant complexion in just weeks.

According to founder Zoe, ‘Much Brighter Skin’ was inspired by her best-selling ‘Transformazing’ sheet masks, and it promises luminous skin and antioxidant protection with ‘no tackiness or weird smell’.

What the new serum can do for your skin 

* Boost facial radiance for ‘bright, luminous skin’.

* Target hyperpigmentation caused by dark spots, UV damage, hormonal changes or uneven skin tone.

* Fights free radicals and environmental damage.

* Plump and hydrate the skin to leave it bouncy thanks to the addition of hyaluronic acid and glycerin.

* Promotes collagen production. 

‘As a long-time user of vitamin C, I know just how confounding the category is,’ Zoe posted on Instagram.

‘We have made an easy and delightful way to get involved. And not to toot our own horn, but our formulation is gorgeous.

‘It has a silky gel texture, soft springtime scent and is perfect under your other morning skincare and makeup, with no pilling.’ 

Zoe said the new serum aims to give you ‘powerful antioxidant defence’, target discolouration, dark spots and hyperpigmentation, and address any UV damage or post-inflammation scarring. 

‘Much Brighter Skin is more than just vitamin C,’ Zoe added.

‘As well as 10 per cent sodium ascorbyl phophate, we added niacinimide and kakadu plum to strengthen the skin’s barrier, calm the skin and regulate oil production.

‘We also added hyaluronic acid and glycerin, for their incredible skin plumping and moisture-trapping benefits.’

The $59 beauty buy is cruelty-free and suitable for all skin types.

To use Much Brighter Skin, Zoe recommends that you first of all cleanse or rinse your face and then add some toner or mist.

‘Add one pump of Much Brighter Skin to your clean skin and press in the face oil gently,’ she said.

Once this is done, moisturise and apply your SPF and makeup as per normal.

The product can be used in the morning and at night for best results.

‘Much Brighter Skin has already become as vital to my skin as that first cup of coffee is to my being,’ one commenter said.

‘The serum smells delicious and pairs well with Face Hero with no pilling,’ another added. ‘It’s a real gem, and I can’t wait to tell all my friends about the experience.’

A third wrote: ‘It’s helping to clear up some of my pigmentation. All in all, I’d give it 11/10.’

At the end of last month, Zoe Foster-Blake sold a controlling stake in her Go-To skincare company for a staggering $89million.

The 41-year-old beauty mogul sold a 50.1 per cent share to BWX. 

The ASX-listed company is also behind Aussie skincare brand Sukin, and has a lucrative five-year supplier deal with Chemist Warehouse.

BWX praised Go-To for providing consumers with ‘simple, trusted and effective skincare products for the masstige market’.

The skincare company was established by the former magazine journalist in 2014, and generated $36.8million in revenue last year alone. 

Despite the new deal, BWX said Go-To ‘will remain an independently operated, stand-alone, founder-led brand’.

Zoe will also continue to act as the company’s strategic investor, chief creative officer and board director.

What is in Much Brighter Skin by Zoe Foster-Blake and what does it do? 

* WATER: Mostly used as a solvent in which it dissolves many of the ingredients used to impart skin benefits.

* SODIUM ASCORBYL PHOSPHATE: A derivative of vitamin C, this supercharged antioxidant helps protect the skin against photo damage of the skin including premature ageing; keeping it looking fresh and healthy. 

* COCO-CAPRYLATE: A light, coconut based emollient that helps soften and smooth the skin.

* GLYCERIN: An excellent humectant which reduces moisture loss by holding water within the surface layers of the skin; preventing skin from drying out.

* NIACINIMIDE: Also known as Vitamin B3, niacinamide is a skin brightening agent as well as a very effective skin-restoring ingredient that helps keep your skin hydrated and firm.

* VITAMIN E: A powerful antioxidant that preserves the product as well as preventing free radical damage on the skin.

* JOJOBA ESTERS: A waxy emollient derived from jojoba oil. Jojoba esters help to create the creamy consistency of the serum and forms a protective layer on the skin.

* GINGER ROOT EXTRACT: A soothing skin-conditioning agent.

* SUNFLOWER SEED OIL: A light oil with high levels of vitamins A, D and E as well as essential fatty acids helping to soothe and replenish dry skin. 

* KAKADU PLUM EXTRACT: Derived from the native Australian Kakadu Plum tree, this extract is one of the richest sources of Vitamin C in the world. This makes it a powerful antioxidant protecting the skin against premature ageing. 

* ROSEMARY LEAF EXTRACT: An antioxidant that helps protect against free radical damage and the effects of environmental stresses on the skin.
