View SephoraWhat Sephora says
A supercharged moisturizer with 10% THD Ascorbate Vitamin C that provides clinically shown, visible brightening results and targets signs of aging.
Apply twice daily to face and neck with continued use.
For external use only.
Note: Due to the high potency of active ingredients, color may shift over time. This will not affect product performance.
What Glass adds
This is a solid choice for someone looking to incorporate a high-potency vitamin C into their routine, especially if brightening and anti-aging are the primary concerns. Its rich texture makes it a good option for normal to dry skin, but it may be too heavy for very oily skin types. The inclusion of other antioxidants and hydrators adds to its appeal.

FAQ
While it is fragrance-free and contains some soothing ingredients, it is a potent formula with a high concentration of Vitamin C. If you have very sensitive skin, it's recommended to patch test first or consult with a dermatologist.
It's generally not recommended to layer multiple high-potency Vitamin C products at the same time, as this can increase the risk of irritation. However, this moisturizer can be used in conjunction with other skincare steps that contain Vitamin C at different times of the day or on alternate days, depending on your skin's tolerance.
THD Ascorbate is a stable, oil-soluble form of Vitamin C that is known for its brightening and anti-aging benefits. It's often preferred for its stability and ability to penetrate the skin effectively.
