Soon, Ursa Major was born: delightfully effective, forest-infused skincare essentials—made with zero harmful ingredients—so your skin and your spirit can truly thrive!

"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)
"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)
"I like this vitamin c serum and appreciate how it feels. I don't love the smell, but it's not bad enough to keep me from buying again."
— Dani (4/5)
"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)
"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."
