Category
Serum
Cruelty-free Fragrance-free

How to use

Apply a few drops to cleansed skin, morning and/or evening, before heavier moisturizers. It contains active brightening ingredients (niacinamide, tranexamic acid, arbutin, a vitamin C derivative and a mild salicylate), so patch-test first and introduce it gradually if your skin is sensitive. For daytime use, follow with a broad-spectrum SPF, as brightening actives can leave skin more sensitive to sun.
