5
A gold-standard humectant that draws water into the skin.

A stable, water-soluble vitamin C derivative gentle enough for acne-prone skin.

The stable ester form of vitamin E that converts to active tocopherol in skin; a common, shelf-stable antioxidant.

An extract from alfalfa (Medicago sativa) plants rich in chlorophyll, carotenoids, and isoflavones that provide antioxidant and skin-conditioning benefits.

A revered K-beauty botanical used for antioxidant, brightening and revitalizing effects.
