What it is: A water-free, silicone-free facial treatment that contains 23% pure l-ascorbic acid, otherwise known as vitamin C.What it does: A brightening formula that uses direct Vitamin C and hyaluronic acid to help visibly reduce signs of aging by brightening and balancing uneven skin tone. This water-free formula provides 23% pure l-ascorbic acid, which remains completely stable due to the absence of water. The formula is supported with spheres of hyaluronic acid for added hydration. How to use: Apply a small amount to the face once daily, ideally in the evening. Use sun protection during the day. A tingling sensation can be expected.Note: The slightly granular texture of this product is due to the vitamin C powder being suspended in an oil-like base, and therefore each application requires a few seconds to feel absorbed by the skin. If desired, this formula can be diluted in a cream base per application to allow the skin to build tolerance over time. 1 oz.
