Highlights

Suitable for

All skin types, especially mature and blemish-prone skin.

Why we stand behind it

This powerful serum combines retinol (a derivative of vitamin A) with the powerful effects of vitamins C and E for superior results. Delivering the same results as retin-A products but without the irritation, it boosts collagen production, helps speed cell turnover with retinol and vitamin C to smooth fine lines and wrinkles, and clears pores to help control breakouts.

Key ingredients

Retinol: Uses microencapsulated retinol that does not degrade even in a lower pH environment.
L-ascorbic acid: The most potent vitamin C.
Photoaging repair complex: Proprietary microencapsulated resveratrol and superoxide dismutase (SOD) for a powerful antioxidant boost.
Sodium salicylate: Protects skin, allowing use of an effective amount of retinol without causing undue irritation, making it safe for sensitive skin.
Ceramide complex: Key component of top layer of skin, prevents moisture loss, keeps skin soft and supple.
Coenzyme Q: A powerful antioxidant.

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.

New to me

"I am unable to share my feedback on the product as I have just started using it a few days ago. But overall, having used a variety of other products from the brand, I have truly enjoyed them. I do look forward to a promotion before I purchase for some savings. The products are expensive."
