Resurfacing Compound Face Serum with Retinol + Vitamin C

Scrub & Peel · 30 ingredients

A resurfacing face serum formulated to address multiple signs of aging, uneven texture, dark spots, and enlarged pores in a single step. Stabilized vitamins C and E work together as antioxidants to visibly brighten skin and promote a more even-looking tone, while a stable retinol ester gently improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. A blend of multi-hydroxy acids rounds out the formula by exfoliating to refine pore appearance and surface texture. Best suited for those concerned with aging, dullness, and uneven skin.
