Key Ingredients

ACTIVATED C

Activated C, which is a stabilized form of Vitamin C that specifically addresses uneven skin tone and hyperpigmentation, goes to work immediately upon contact with the skin. This vitamin c serum helps visibly diminish the look of dullness and uneven skin tone and helps increase clarity and brightness for a healthy-looking, more radiant complexion.

BUFFERED SALICYLIC ACID

Targeting skin's surface, it works together with Activated C to visibly reduce discoloration and renew the look of skin's texture.

PEONY EXTRACT

Used in traditional Chinese medicine, Peony Extract is a natural antioxidant that helps protect against oxidative damage. In our formulas, it works with Activated C to enhance skin clarity.
