  2. Smooths skin texture and fades discoloration
  3. Unclogs pores and fights breakouts

  1. Apply at night (pea-sized amount)
  2. Start 2–3x/week, build to nightly use
  3. Always follow with moisturizer and apply SPF in the morning

Pro Pick: Try our Anti-Aging Retinol Booster for a potent but gentle retinol formula.


🍊 2. Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid) – The Glow Maker

🧬 5. Peptides – The Firmness Boosters

What They Are: Short chains of amino acids that stimulate your skin to produce collagen and elastin.

  2. Visibly smooth wrinkles
  3. Help rebuild damaged skin
