For tired looking skin with unwanted lines - This smoothes skin, whilst fading prominent lines. This delivered vitamins A, B, C, D and E to help hydrate and revive skin. Now with ectoin and betaine for super hydrating.

Some ingredients work twice as well when together. Alone, vitamins A and C have difficulty penetrating skin deeply enough to offer measurable benefit. But paired carefully, they work wonders…Vitamin A (retinyl palmitate and acetate) has apple pectin to help stabilise it. The particular vitamin C we use (MAP) is both light and water-stable. This enables it to work well with the polysaccharides in yarrow and extend the anti-oxidant effect. Niacinamide (vitamin B3) and panthenol (Vitamin B5) help improve skin strength.

This particularly suits mature and sun-damaged skin, where skin density has reduced. With hydration from top to toe! Betaine and Ectoin help hydration, which improves how skin looks and feels. This can only be sustained if the lower layers are also well-hydrated, so a small molecular weight hyaluronic salt, is used. The omega-rich fruit oils and Propandiol provide the lipids needed without causing oiliness. They can all work their magic protected by a silky-fine layer of Gosulin, a natural, non-irritating silicone, which adds a soft, light sheen.

Directions for Use: Apply to skin morning and evening. If used with other serums, this should be applied last one applied, (unless you use the lightening serum to fade melasma).

This may be moisturising enough during the day not to need any more. At night, let this absorb for five minutes before adding an elixir or moisturiser.
