“Age Defying Firming & Lifting Makeup, SPF 15, Bare Buff”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (laureth-7, oleic acid, palmitic acid, peg-9 polydimethylsiloxyethyl dimethicone, polyglyceryl-3 diisostearate, xanthan gum) and should be able to cleanse the skin gently. Still keep in mind that any cleansing can disrupt the skin barrier, and most people do not need to cleanse their skin more than once per day.

A stable derivative of vitamin C. It is oil-soluble which means it is more likely to penetrate the skin compared to the pure form of vitamin C (which is water-soluble), but it is less bio-available and is way less effective in stimulating collagen and reducing wrinkles compared to the pure form of vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) and its other derivatives (for example, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate). At the same time, this vitamin C derivative has been shown in studies to be effective in reducing acne, blemishes and clogged pores. It is less irritating then the pure form of vitamin C
