Skin type guide
Suitable for all skin types. Antioxidants are especially valuable for skin exposed to daily UV and environmental stressors — which is essentially everyone.
How to use it
Works particularly well in an AM routine, where its antioxidant protection pairs naturally with daily SPF. Apply after cleansing and toning, before moisturiser and sunscreen.
