It is known that vitamin C is able to help heal blemishes, reduce hyperpigmentation and give your skin an out-of-this-world glow. So why not give skincare products formulated with it a try?

With regular use, you will be able to boost your skin's health and show off an overall vitality to your looks.

Lightweight and vitamin-rich

Aesop’s Lucent Facial Concentrate is a potent hydrating serum formulated to replenish and balance the skin.

The serum’s aqueous viscosity and lightweight feel are perfect for those who are not inclined towards oil-based hydrators and heavy creams, but still desire concentrated doses of vitamins, intense hydration and nourishing botanicals.

With its light texture and finish, this product is suitable for those with combination and oily skin, and for those residing in hot, humid climates.

Skin-balancing sodium ascorbyl phosphate (vitamin C) and barrier-supportive niacinamide (vitamin B3) are included to help even out the appearance of the skin, while sodium carrageenan boosts moisture and provides sustained hydration.

Additionally, essential oils of rose otto, sandalwood and frankincense are included for their renowned nourishing properties.

For best results, dispense one to two pipettes (roughly half a teaspoon) into your hands and gently massage into cleansed and toned skin, from forehead to neck.

It can be used as a layering serum, followed by your preferred Aesop hydrator, or as a standalone hydrating formulation for combination to oily skin types.
