A cocktail of three forms of Vitamin C (ascorbic acid, tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate and 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid) power the newest brightening moisturizer from Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare. The Skincare Oil-Free Radiant Moisturizer is a lightweight moisturizer that doubles as a serum and it supports glowy skin and brightens dark spots over time.
Dr. Dennis Gross says, "What makes this collection groundbreaking is the combination of vitamin C and lactic acid in the same formula." While Lactic acid improves vitamin C absorption and performance by removing the surface layer of dead skin, replenishing ceramides and GAGs (glycosaminoglycans) serve the purpose of strengthening and repairing the skin’s moisture barrier.
This innovative formula's efficacy aligns with new medical literature that supports lactic acid as a solution for neutralizing free radicals in the lipid phase of skin.
