Description

Somme Institute Serum is a targeted brightening treatment designed to visibly improve skin tone, texture, and clarity while supporting collagen for a firmer, more radiant complexion. Powered by Somme’s patented MDT5™ technology and 15% Vitamin C derived from citrus pulp, this lightweight formula helps address visible signs of aging, discoloration, and dullness.

Unlike many Vitamin C serums that lose potency through oxidation, Somme Institute’s stable formulation ensures consistent performance from the first drop to the last. It absorbs quickly without a greasy residue, making it ideal for daily use in any skincare routine.

  • Helps minimize the look of discoloration, dullness, and uneven skin tone

  • Promotes a firmer, smoother, more radiant complexion

  • Lightweight texture absorbs quickly without stickiness

  • Suitable for all skin types and tones

Why Somme Institute

What Makes Somme Institute Special to Us

Somme Institute stands apart because they don’t just promise results—they prove them. Born from rigorous dermatological research and clinical trials, Somme’s formulas integrate MDT5™ technology, ultraviolet diagnostics, and real data. Their approach is unapologetically bold, trusted by specialists, and built for those who expect skincare to deliver—not just feel good, but act good.

FAQ's

What makes Somme Institute products different?

Somme Institute’s formulas are powered by MDT5™ technology, a patented delivery system of vitamins A, B3, B5, C, and E designed to penetrate deeply into the skin. This technology was developed through years of clinical research and dermatological testing, setting it apart from surface-level skincare.

Are Somme Institute products suitable for all skin types?

Yes. Somme Institute is formulated for all skin types, including sensitive, oily, dry, combination, and mature skin. Their MDT5™ delivery system is designed to address multiple concerns simultaneously, from texture and tone to fine lines and blemishes.

Are the products dermatologist tested?

Absolutely. Somme Institute was created by a team of dermatologists and clinical researchers. Every product is tested under dermatological supervision, ensuring both safety and efficacy.

How should I incorporate Somme Institute into my skincare routine?

Somme Institute recommends a step-by-step system for best results:

  1. Cleanse to remove impurities
  2. Exfoliate using Transport Pads to smooth skin
  3. Treat with their vitamin serums and MDT5™ formulas
  4. Moisturize to lock in hydration
  5. Protect with SPF during the day

This system is designed to maximize absorption and results.

Can I use Somme Institute products with other skincare brands?

Yes. Their formulations are designed to be compatible with most skincare routines. However, because MDT5™ technology is potent, it’s best to introduce products gradually—especially if you use strong actives like retinoids or acids. A simple routine often delivers the best results.

Where are Somme Institute products made?

All Somme Institute products are developed and manufactured in the USA using clinically tested ingredients and strict quality standards.

A must for girls with mature skin!

This is such a great vitamin C product! I'm 54-years old and vitamin C is the skincare ingredient I can't live without. This serum is affordable and effective. I have used it for about 5 weeks, and not only have I noticed a major reduction in hyperpigmentation and dark spots, but my skin looks plumper and more youthful! Major WIN! It doesn't have that "hot-dog" smell like some other vitamin C products do - if you know, you know - and it goes on beautifully under makeup as well. My new FAVE!

Amazing product

I got this product because a friend said she had tried it and really liked it. So I got it and right away I seen instant results and I am totally hooked. It may seem a bit pricey but you only need a drip to do your whole face and this will last a long time , so don’t let the price scare you . I totally recommend this product

Clean and powerful

Yes, yes, yes!! I tried the anti aging vitamin C serum - it’s a winner. I’d been looking for a nice vitamin C serum to put on before sunscreen. This one knocks it out of the park! It goes on very clean and smells like citrus. My face looks more even and fresh. I even put some on the back of my hands to help with sun spots. Highly recommend!

Absolutely the BEST!

I will never use another Vitamin C product again! This product is amazing. I hate messy hands. Mine especially. I quit using Vit C Serums because of their stickiness. It is so awesome that I can use this and then immediately put on my face cream. Thank you for finally breaking the sticky barrier!

Perfect Skin

The entire Somme Institute line of products are the best skincare products I've used. I have been using these products for years. The only downside is the price point, however, to me it is worth it based on how my skin looks and feels.

Sun Damage be gone!

Somme serum is like a long drink of water for your face moisturizing instantly. When used consistently, especially with the other Somme products, you'll see your dark spots fade and disappear. I am in my 70's and many people complement me on my beautiful skin thinking I am in my 50's. This product is quite unique and really works! Trust me, I have tried others and this is the best. For those of us who grew up before there was such a thing as sunscreen, this is a "must have."

5 Stars

I've been using Somme Institute for years. Every time I use it religiously, thus is when I receive compliments! Only thing missing is the A Bomb moisturizer. I haven't been able to find for months! When will it come back?

Tried & True

I have been using this product for over five years now, first introduced to it by my facialist. I have rotate other products in and out of my repertoire, the Vitamin C serum by Somme is never rotated out.The serum helps even my skin tone (reddish) and removes dullness - it’s a must have. As someone who travels a lot for work, I have one bottle always in my medicine cabinet and another always in my toiletry bag - I want to ensure I never travel without it - it’s that essential!

Lovely but really pricey!

This serum by Somme Institute is amazing and healing to my skin. It clears blemishes, moisturizes my skin, and generally leaves me feelings beautiful and polished. It also reduces my 35 year old baby wrinkles! But, the price. I'm not sure how much I love the cost for something that won't last more than a few months. It is wonderful if you have the cold hard cash to plunk down, but I don't. So, four stars.

Working good!

I love skin products with Vitamin C in it because they usually do well with brightening my skin making it look more refreshed pretty much right away. This one is intriguing in that it's supposed to have a better form of it. It does leave my skin feeling smoother and with a subtle healthy glow (not an oily one!).It absorbs really fast- maybe almost too fast in a way, because I had a little trouble applying it over even small areas of my skin (my face and neck) because it absorbs almost instantly. Also, I have to make sure to pump it into my palm because I have trouble pushing the top down gentle enough to only get a tiny amount at a time out.The first morning using it, it help clear out a couple small pimples that I had on my cheek. Just a few hours later they weren't as red and by the time of my next application, in the evening, they were significantly smaller which was a pleasant surprise.

Very Expensive, But If You've Got The Money, It's Good

So, right out of the gate, my biggest observation here is that this is not inexpensive. It's so pricey that it's really hard for me to recommend, but it does work. The good news is that a little does go a long way but, wow, still expensive.Now that I'm 40+, serums have become a regular part of my daily routine, and I regularly use them under my day and night moisturizers. I've tried a bunch, and come to the conclusion that the ones that seem to have the most effect usually contain either Vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, or both. But I'm also somewhat sensitive to the higher concentrations of C, so have to be careful.This one did not irritate my Vitamin C sensitive skin, and left it noticeably softer, smoother and brighter after several days of use, so I'm very pleased with the results, even the price makes me gasp.

Love

This has become part of my daily skincare regimen. I am 30, have sensitive / combination skin. I use two pumps of serum in the morning and night. One bottle lasts about 2 months. I have been using for over 6 months now along with the transport pads and A bomb. I no longer have red splotches on my face, my sun spots have faded, skin texture is significantly smoother, pores are smaller -- really love the Somme line. I've used similar products from Dr. Dennis Gross and Caudalie. Somme works best, at least with my skin. I noticed an improvement by the end of my first serum bottle.

Surprisingly Effective Products

The Somme product line is expensive, since there are several products that have to be used in conjunction with one another, but together they are effective. If used consistently, they will improve the appearance of the skin. Each product contains an insert describing the product line and uses. I suggest one use the products in this order: the cleanser, the defoliating pads, the serum, and then the A-bomb. Sounds like a lot, but its worth having nice-appearing facial skin and, as proof, getting compliments. There are other products in the line, but not as essential to the regimen as the foregoing.

goes on easily, leaves skin just slightly sticky feeling and shiny

I just don't know about this product yet. I've been using it as instructed with the 5 step regimen, but just not sure what it does that Transport and A Bomb aren't doing. Product is light, goes on easily, leaves skin just slightly sticky feeling and shiny. I haven't noticed that it takes the redness out of my acne or rosacea, but hoping it's maybe after long term use. Going to keep using it, but might experiment with leaving it out of the regimen once it's gone.
