A day cream for skin that looks dull or uneven in tone. Use it every morning after cleansing, on the face and neck, then put your sunscreen on over it. It is a translucent gel-cream, so it sinks in within a minute and leaves nothing greasy or sticky behind, and makeup sits well on top.
The vitamin C is a stabilised form (ethyl ascorbic acid) that keeps its strength in the jar and works on the look of dullness and uneven tone with daily use. Butylene glycol and propylene glycol draw water into the skin, and squalane with light emollients keep it soft without weight. In a clinical test, skin measured brighter after 14 days of once-daily morning use, and testers said their skin felt more moisturised, smoother and more even in tone.
For dark spots, pair it with the Whitamin C Spot Serum in the morning: serum first, cream over it. It has a light fragrance and no alcohol or parabens. 50ml jar, made in Thailand. It is not a sunscreen, so keep your SPF as the last step.
✓ Skin looks brighter and more even in tone with daily use: clinically tested, skin colour measured brighter in 100% of 22 women after 14 days
✓ Stabilised vitamin C (ethyl ascorbic acid) that holds its strength in the jar, in heat and light
✓ Hydrates: butylene glycol and propylene glycol draw water into the skin; 95% of testers said skin felt more moisturised
✓ Translucent gel-cream that sinks in within a minute, no greasy or sticky feel (91% of testers agreed)
✓ Sits well under sunscreen and makeup
✓ No adverse events across the 14-day study; 0% of testers reported any discomfort
✓ No alcohol (ethanol), no parabens, no added colour
1. Morning, after cleansing (and toner, if you use one).
2. If you use the Whitamin C Spot Serum, pat it onto the spots first and give it a minute.
3. Twist open the cap and take a fingertip of cream. Dot it on the forehead, both cheeks, nose and chin, then smooth across the face and down the neck. Avoid the eye area.
4. Let it sink in for a minute, then apply your sunscreen. This cream is not a sunscreen, and brightening work is undone fastest by sun.
5. Makeup goes on after the sunscreen.
6. Once a day, every day. The clinical results were measured at day 7 and day 14 of daily use; keep going past that.
Caution: for external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes; if it gets in, rinse with water. Stop use and seek medical advice if irritation or any abnormality appears. Contains fragrance; if your skin reacts easily, test behind the ear first. Close the lid after use and keep the jar away from heat and direct sun, which is what vitamin C likes least.
