Powerful Active Ingredients

3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid (Stable Vitamin C): A gentle, stable form of vitamin C that provides antioxidant protection and brightening benefits without the irritation of traditional L-ascorbic acid. Perfect for sensitive skin types seeking vitamin C benefits.

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): Clinically proven to reduce the appearance of enlarged pores, uneven skin tone, and fine lines. Works synergistically with vitamin C to enhance skin barrier function and minimize irritation.

Hippophae Rhamnoides (Sea Buckthorn) Fruit Extract: Rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, this superfruit extract provides additional brightening power while nourishing the skin with essential fatty acids and vitamins.

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Water: Green tea water replaces regular water in this formula, providing antioxidant benefits and soothing properties for sensitive skin.

Allantoin: A gentle healing agent that soothes irritation and promotes skin cell regeneration for smoother, healthier-looking skin.

Adenosine: A proven anti-aging ingredient that helps improve skin elasticity and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
