  • Visibly reduces appearance of dark spots, post-acne marks, and uneven tone
  • Boosts luminosity for a fresher, more energized complexion
  • Antioxidant support helps defend against environmental stressors
  • Lightweight, water-free serum layers easily under moisturizer
  • Helps refine dullness without a heavy or greasy feel
How to use
  • AM or PM, apply a few drops to clean, dry skin after water-based serums.
  • Smooth over face, focusing on areas with dark spots.
  • Follow with a gentle moisturizer.
  • In the morning, finish with broad-spectrum SPF 30+.
  • Avoid using with strong acids, peptides, or niacinamide in the same routine; patch test first.
