Key Ingredients

ACTIVATED C

Activated C, which is a stabilized form of Vitamin C that specifically addresses uneven skin tone and hyperpigmentation, goes to work immediately upon contact with the skin. Within our formula, Activated C helps visibly diminish the look of dullness and uneven skin tone and helps increase clarity and brightness for a healthy-looking, more radiant complexion.

WHITE BIRCH EXTRACT

White Birch Extract is a sugar-derived ingredient known for its ability to restore hydration and nutrients to the skin. In our skincare products, this potent active ingredient works with Activated C to help even skin tone.

GLYCOLIC ACID

Rated 5 out of 5 by AprilShowers from <<< I T W O R K S >>> Super Smoother! My skin is now more even-toned and brighter. I use it as an overnight masque 2X a weeks. My pores are tight and lines are minimized. I get youthful and rejuvenated glow.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Rios from This product really works. I was skeptical to try because I have never found a cream that made any significant difference until, my daughter suggested I should try this, after doing so for about 5 weeks, I noticed dramatic change in clarity, and sun spot removal, was really amazed I went to buy the whole line of clearly corrective, I like how a little bit goes a long was and how wonderful and refreshed my face feels.

Rated 1 out of 5 by SS2H from Not for sensitive skin. Bring back Rosa Artica I bought this because a customer service rep recommended it as a replacement for Rosa Artica. It is nothing like that moisturizer, which was amazing. This has an acid and Vitamin C in it, both of which exacerbate sun exposure. Even though I wear sunscreen and use hats daily, this moisturizer doesn’t improve my complexion but makes it worse and much too sensitive to sun exposure. The texture is ok and feels hydrating, but it is too intense for sensitive skin.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Shaina from Terrible smell After using this product day and night for two weeks, I can't tell if there is a difference in the appearance of dark spots on my skin. However, the acetic acid-like smell alone of this product is enough for me to not want to use it again! I'm all for not adding synthetic scents to products, but I am not a fan of my face smelling like vinegar all day- especially when I am wearing a mask all day everyday at my workplace. Disappointed with this product since it is so expensive.

Rated 5 out of 5 by cookeez49 from Amazing Results My skin was taking a beating after months of wearing a mask. This product completely restored the look and feel of my skin pre-pandemic! It feels really refreshing and is not greasy at all and absorbs easily. It is the best new product I have used in 2020 and will be putting it on auto refill!

Rated 5 out of 5 by turquoisecat from I am blown away by this I am a skincare fiend. And my friends flock to me for skincare advice. This is one of the best products out there for my sensitive skin. It gives it a gorgeous glow and resurfacing. I love using it at night as a sleep pack and also during the day: both give me incredible luminosity and I can notice the resurfacing effects the very next day. I'm a huge fan and will be gifting this to the beautiful elders in our family!

Rated 1 out of 5 by Evas from Jar full of dimethicone Dimethicone is literally the second ingredient behind water. As a skin "care" product dimethicone is useless and causes more harm than good. It's not moisture you are feeling, it's actually silicone being smeared all over your skin. You may as well use Vaseline.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Flwrpwr chick from Amazing I was getting ready to go to the dermatologist to get a dry dark chicken skin patch looked at. Didn’t want strong cream to use on it due to sensitive skin. I’ve been using this for 5 weeks, in conjunction with retextureizing Micro dermabrasion and avocado eye cream. Amazed at my results ! Bumps have diminished and skin looking brighter, and smoother. Amazing. Be patient. It works.
