Key Features and Benefits:
Primary Active Ingredients: The product's main active ingredients are Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) and Vitamin C (3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid)
Niacinamide helps to improve skin's moisture retention, support surface cell turnover, and reduce the appearance of dark spots and discoloration. It also helps to reveal a more even skin tone and texture.
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps to fight free radicals on the skin's surface. It works to protect the skin from visible damage, address uneven skin tone, and fortify the skin's moisture barrier, leading to a brighter, more radiant glow.
Formula and Texture: The moisturizer has a lightweight, non-greasy, and fast-absorbing texture. It is often described as being a gel-cream or a light, silky cream that melts into the skin. This makes it suitable for a variety of skin types, including normal, combination, and oily skin, and can be used as a base for makeup.

Dullness
Uneven skin tone
Dark spots and discoloration
Dehydration
