What it is
This powdered vitamin C refines skin texture, brightening and maintaining a healthy appearance even in harsh environments, while addressing signs of aging*1. Ascorbic acid, also known as vitamin C, can lose its effectiveness when exposed to water and air. For this reason, we developed this product water-free to minimize degradation. This direct vitamin C powder not only preserves its effectiveness, but also allows you to create your own personalized skincare routine. Mix it with other products*2 to create your own effective vitamin C serum or cream tailored to your skincare concerns. * Ascorbic Acid: Skin-conditioning ingredient*1. Reduces dryness and rough texture*2. 100% Organic Cold-Pressed R Seed Oil, NMF+HA Face Moisture Cream, HA2+B5 Face Serum, 100% Plant-Based S
Ingredients
