What is an undertone?

An undertone is the color beneath the surface of your skin, which never changes (even with a tan). There are three types of undertones:

Pink/Cool

I see red or pink undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin burns easily, but barely tans.
My skin looks better in silver jewelry than gold.

Neutral

I see both pink and yellow undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin sometimes burns and sometimes tans.
My skin looks good in both gold and silver jewelry.

Yellow/Warm

I see yellow or golden undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin rarely burns, but tans easily.
My skin looks better in gold jewelry than silver.

Reviews

Good price but dries my skin a little

"Not sure how effective this has been in terms of lightening spots. It dries my skin a little. I used Marie Vernonique before and wanted to try something cheaper. Really nice formula and feels good going on, and wears well under makeup. Not sure I’ll repurchase bc of the drying."

Bridget B. (4/5)

Lightweight serum

"I can’t tell if this is working or not, it’s only been a few weeks but my skin does appear brighter when I put this on. It’s lightweight and not sticky at all, absorbs easily and easily layers under moisturizer. Will continue to use for sure"

Pam D. (4/5)

Love this serum!

"I have sensitive skin and with this serum I don't have any problems. My skin can often feel dry. I use 1 pump under my moisturizer in the morning and my skin glows. In the evening I layer this under the Alpine Rich cream and wake up feeling very hydrated."

Beth C. (5/5)

Good for Dark Spots

"I am on my second bottle of this serum and the hype is real! I had a bunch of dark spots that popped up while I was pregnant, and this has been helping to eliminate them. It goes on well and soaks in quickly without a greasy or oily feel."

Katharine V. (5/5)

love this serum

"I noticed immediately my skin looked brighter and it feels lovely. Will definitely repurchase."

Amy B. (5/5)

One of my faves!

"Has been a go-to of mine for years now. I love the texture and scent and can tell my skin is brighter with use!"

Cassie P. (5/5)

It works!

Elizabeth F. (5/5)

Hi Andrea! This is a great option. Also, you can instantly start chatting with an expert live at Credo. We could go thru your current routine and find what best works for your skin type.
Can i use as morning serum
Hi there! Yes you can use this serum morning and night if you'd like!
What is the percentage of vitamin C in this serum?
Hi there! Due to the vitamin C coming from botanical and plant sources, there is not a definitive percentage.
