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

It works!

"I have gotten so so many compliments on my skin- that it is glowy and bright! I truly love this, and will repurchase again! Half way through my bottle, and using it as directed <3"

— Kelsey H. (5/5)

Gentle easy vit C

"I love this so much. My skin usually rebels against vit C, but this is gentle enough for me to handle daily. I think it makes a difference overall. Definitely think it’s worth it for the price."

— Echo (5/5)

Neck and chest usage only

"I enjoy the consistency and smell of the serum. It's not greasy or oily. I've had great experiences with the brand before, especially with their sunscreen and body cream. However! This gave me a huge and painful cystic breakout. Even though I have oily skin I don't suffer from acne since my early 20's (I'm in my mid 40's now). The only other time I've experienced a cystic breakout like this was when I tried Drunk Elephant's C-Firma. I immediately stopped using it on my face and I've relegated it to neck and chest usage only-so far no issues there thank god, but I've also never had body acne. I'm doing this so I don't throw money away, but I definitely won't repurchase once I finish it. It's too bad because price is right and I liked that it wasn't an L-Ascorbic Acid formula."

— Carolina L. (3/5)

Good consistency

"Good ingredients"
