Details & care

What it is: A lightweight moisturizer formulated with 10% vitamin C to revitalize dull, lackluster skin by helping brighten skin and improve elasticity.

Who it's for: Ideal for all skin types.

What it does: Skin brightening and anti-aging niacinamide and vitamin C provide multifunctional benefits to help boost collagen and visibly improve skin's texture. The formula is enriched with vitamins A, C, D and E plus rosehip-seed oil to help fight signs of aging and promote dewy, glowing skin. A retinol alternative, bakuchiol, helps to reduce hyper-pigmentation and wrinkles.

Research results:

In a consumer study on 25 participants between the ages of 31 and 62 over 4 weeks:

- 84% of people noticed more even skin tone.

- 88% of people noticed a brighter complexion.

How to use: Use daily as a morning counterpart to the nightly Vitamin C Serum (sold separately). Apply the Vitamin C Cream to your face after cleansing and toning skin.
