“This fast-absorbing formula is a multivitamin cocktail that fuses Mediterranean essential oils of lemon, lavender and bergamot, and extracts of aloe vera, jojoba and vitamins to soothe, moisturise and turn back the clock.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: dimethicone, 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).

A stable derivative of vitamin C.

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
