The Read
A soft cream that absorbs fast, for uneven tone and dark spots. Kojic acid with vitamin C, vitamin E, sea buckthorn oil and rosemary.
Kojic acid is known for its brightening properties and helps the look of dark spots fade with steady use. Vitamin C and rosemary add antioxidant support for a brighter surface. Results depend on daily sunscreen, since unprotected sun undoes the gain.
Smooth over clean skin at night, focusing on dark spots. Wear sunscreen every morning.
The proof
Every claim pinned to its source.
