Key Ingredients
Pyncogenol - antioxidant to neutralize free radicals and help protect skin cells from damage
Carnosine - molecule that, like a magnet, attracts sugar molecules to itself instead of to collagen fibers, helping to prevent the skin's internal structure from stiffening^ and thus maintaining skin's suppleness
Vitamin C - known in dermatology to help reduce the signs of skin aging.
Note that due to its ingredients, the serum may darken with time. This neither alters the efficacy nor the tolerance of the formula.
Directions
Apply morning and/or evening on a thoroughly cleansed face and neck.
