“Plumps and firms the appearance of lines and wrinkles”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: helianthus annuus seed oil, simmondsia chinensis seed oil.
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).
“Plumps and firms the appearance of lines and wrinkles”
This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.
This ingredient rubus idaeus seed oil might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin and help it fight off some of the sun damage.
“Brightens the look of dark spots”
Effective ingredients missing or their concentration is too low
This product contains antioxidants (rubus idaeus seed oil, vaccinium macrocarpon seed oil) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.

Works immediately. Noticed my skin appeared brighter after the first usem I use thjs 2 times a week
Great product, unfortunately after a couple weeks of great results and much more even, bright skin, I got an allergic/sensitivity reaction to it. I have sensitive skin, so this was my second try at Vitamin C after La Roche Posay's C serum. Unfortunately this did the same eventually. So be careful if sensitive. Otherwise a great product with a lovely herbal turmeric smell that also, I feel, tinted some of the redness away given its golden colour.
I love this product. It's not heavy, but not too light. It's has a fragrance, turmeric. I like the smell, I think it smells fresh, so I don't mind it at all. I love using it in the morning. It leaves my skin glowing. I use it under my make up primer and it works just fine. I have been using this product for the past 2 years, basically since I learned about it.
