Skin Chemists Vitamin C Brightening Cream 50ml Lumene Closer to a skin scentVitamin C cream, not serum thicker, slower to sink in, sits on skin as an occlusive layer that traps what you've already applied underneath. The ascorbic acid is doing the brightening work; the cream base keeps it from drying you out in the process. One pump, morning and night, after any lighter serums have settled. Skip if your skin runs oily or you layer SPF over the top it'll sit too rich.
