Details & care
What it is: A cloudlike daily moisturizer that brightens dry, lackluster skin in just 21 days.
What it does: Infused with moisturizing Squalane and potent brightening actives, including Niacinamide, Bio-Stable Gallic Acid and Smart Melanin Microalgae, HydraBright targets the three common causes of dull skin: dryness, rough texture and uneven skin tone. The result is light-reflecting, smooth skin and radiant, even skin tone for a brightened not lightened complexion. Deeper hydration meets luminous glow in one extraordinary moisturizer.
How to use: After cleansing, toning and applying any treatment serums, smooth onto the skin day and/or night. Follow with the appropriate broad-spectrum SPF product in the daytime.

Clogged my pores
This product made me develop multiple clogged pores and bumps all over my face. I checked the ingredients and hydrogenated vegetable oil is prominent. I would not recommend this.

This has helped my winter skin
I bought this in place of the Apres Peel Hydrating Balm bc I no longer saw it on the site. It a close second but personally I like the peel better. Is it no longer in production?

Nothing great!
I just find this moisturizer and brightening product to be Ok. Nothing great. I don’t see much brightening of the skin except for forehead. I would not buy it again!

Doesn’t feel overly moisturizing or greasy.
First time using this one. I have oily skin, which I don’t mind, that dries out at night because of the ceiling fan that is always on, 60 degree nights included. I decided to try it during the dry winter weather, day and night. It’s a very thick consistency, like warm paste. No strong smell and goes on after serums and before tinted sunscreen. Doesn’t feel overly moisturizing or greasy. Soaks up quickly. Haven’t noticed anything significant than other pca moisturizers, like the collagen hydrator. Gave 4 stars because I like the moisturizing but not 100% sold on the price for the outcome.
