Naked + Thriving Illuminate BC+ Retinol Alternative Brightening Face Serum Luxury Travel Size .33 oz / 10 ml Brand New in Box ☺︎︎ Brightens & Balances using Vitamin C & Bakuchiol along with additional active botanicals to reduce the appearance of dark spots and uneven tone, revealing a smoother, more radiant surface. This natural retinol-alternative improves the appearance of photoaging and leaves skin luminous. Bakuchiol, nature's answer to harsh retinol, has been used for centuries in Eastern medicine due to its strong antioxidant, nourishing, and anti-microbial properties. Recent scientific studies have shown that it is as effective as retinol at targeting signs of aging, including reducing the appearance of dark spots, fine lines, and wrinkles without irritating skin the way retinol does. We combined this super ingredient with other powerful botanicals to support the appearance of a bright and even skin tone. These super ingredients include Vitamin C, Bearberry, Gooseberry, Mulberry, Kakadu Plum, Baobab Seed, Licorice Root, and Ferulic Acid. The bottle itself may have small nicks in the coating from being shipped. Does not affect the product inside in any way USE TIPS: For optimal results, after allowing a pea-sized amount of the Illuminate Bc+ Brightening Serum to absorb for 2-3 minutes, apply 4-7 drops of a moisturizing oil, such as Rejuvenate Face Oil, Detox Face Oil, or Prevent Anti-Aging Face Oil. Allow oil to absorb for 3-5 minutes ☺︎︎
