Key Ingredients

• Niacinamide — helps visibly brighten skin tone and supports a more even-looking complexion
• 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid — a stable vitamin C derivative that helps fade dark spots and boost radiance
• Hippophae Rhamnoides (Sea Buckthorn) Fruit Extract — a vitamin-C-rich botanical that supports skin luminosity and antioxidant defense
• Adenosine — helps improve the look of firmness and supports skin's elasticity over time
• Allantoin — soothes and conditions skin, helping to calm sensitivity and support a smooth texture

How to Use

After cleansing and toning, dispense a moderate amount onto fingertips and smooth evenly across the face. Gently pat the serum into skin until fully absorbed. Follow with moisturizer.
