If breakouts or aging have left your skin dull, marked, and uneven, this is the step that brings the glow back. The 20% Vitamin C Serum pairs two forms of vitamin C: an oil-soluble form that absorbs deep into skin and converts to vitamin C, and a water-soluble form that stays stable and delivers the same activity as pure L-ascorbic acid. All of the brightening and firming, none of the sting. Ferulic acid and a ginger-derived antioxidant keep the whole formula potent in the bottle. Bakuchiol, a plant compound that works like retinol without the peeling, smooths the look of fine lines and texture. Skin looks brighter, more even, and firmer, day after day. Made for acne-prone & aging skin. If you've been scared a vitamin C would break you out or were sensitive to other versions, this is the vitamin C to try. Brightens dullness and softens the look of dark marks and uneven tone Smooths the look of fine lines and texture for firmer-looking skin Defends against the daily stress that dulls skin and deepens marks
