Charlotte Tilbury Magic Serum Crystal Elixir 30ml

The Charlotte Tilbury Magic Serum Crystal Elixir is a multi-tasking face serum designed to address hydration, firmness and radiance in a single step. It combines three key active ingredients — REPLEXIUM™, Golden Vitamin C and Polyglutamic Acid — with Charlotte Tilbury’s proprietary Crystal Complex, which incorporates Moonstone, Ruby, Rose Quartz, Crystal Quartz and Amethyst. The 30ml size is the standard daily-use format, suitable as a lightweight serum layer under moisturiser or as a standalone treatment for plumper, more luminous skin over time.

Key Actives

REPLEXIUM™ is Charlotte Tilbury’s proprietary peptide complex, formulated to support a firmer-looking complexion by targeting the appearance of fine lines and loss of elasticity. Golden Vitamin C is a stabilised form of Vitamin C — one of the most researched brightening and antioxidant actives in skincare, used to even skin tone, reduce the appearance of dullness, and protect against environmental stressors. Polyglutamic Acid is a humectant derived from fermented soybeans; Charlotte Tilbury positions it as delivering over four times the moisture-binding capacity of Hyaluronic Acid, helping to draw and retain water in the upper layers of the skin for a plumper, more hydrated appearance.

The Crystal Complex

The Crystal Complex — Moonstone, Ruby, Rose Quartz, Crystal Quartz and Amethyst — is a signature element of the Magic Serum formulation. Charlotte Tilbury incorporates crystal-derived ingredients as part of the product’s holistic, skin-glow philosophy, contributing to the serum’s distinctive light-refracting, luminosity-enhancing effect on skin.

How to Use

Apply a few drops to clean skin morning and evening, pressing gently into the face and neck. Follow with moisturiser. Can be used as a primer base before makeup for an immediate glow effect, or as part of a dedicated skincare routine for cumulative results with continued use.

Questions Customers Ask

What is Polyglutamic Acid and how does it differ from Hyaluronic Acid?
Polyglutamic Acid (PGA) is a naturally derived humectant produced by fermenting Bacillus subtilis with soybeans. Like Hyaluronic Acid, it works by attracting and retaining moisture in the skin. Charlotte Tilbury claims PGA delivers over four times the moisture-binding capacity of Hyaluronic Acid, and it also forms a light film on the skin surface that helps reduce trans-epidermal water loss — meaning it not only draws moisture in but helps keep it there. The two ingredients are complementary and some formulas combine both.

Can it be used under makeup?
Yes — the Magic Serum Crystal Elixir is designed to work as both a treatment serum and a makeup prep step. Applied before foundation or other base products it gives skin a luminous, primed appearance and can improve the way makeup sits and wears across the day.

Is it suitable for all skin types?
Charlotte Tilbury formulates the Magic Serum Crystal Elixir for all skin types. Those with very sensitive or reactive skin may wish to introduce it gradually and patch test first, particularly given the Vitamin C content.
