Ingredient callouts
- This product also contains Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) 3.60% - 5.40% It can be helpful in stimulating collagen production, neutralizing free radicals in skin and improving pigmentation marks. We recommend to use up this product quickly after opening: Ascorbic Acid degrades fast when it gets in contact with air and light. The moment the product turns orange, it is a sign that a significant share of the vitamin C in it is no longer effective.
- Humectants (glycine 0.15% - 0.55% and glycerin 0.20% - 0.70%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
