Ingredient callouts

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.

What does the product description say?
Key Ingredients Vitamin C brightens and protects against free radical damage Essential Oils smooth and hydrate dull skin Key Benefits Helps smooth and brighten skin with a powerful level of antioxidant vitamin C. Helps to refine rough texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Source: Dermstore
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains ascorbic acid.
Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.

This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: helianthus annuus seed wax.
Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).

Exfoliation
What does the product description say?
Professional-C™ Microdermabrasion Polish + Mask
Source: From product name
This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.
