September 2025 Empties for the Face, Body & Hair

Purchased & Press Samples (Affiliate Links)

I am rather surprised that I managed to finish up 11 items in the month of September, though admittedly many of them had very little left in their containers. Therefore, it required little effort to finish up many of them. Of the 11 products, only one was a travel size, and the rest were full-size.

Trader Joe's Lavender Chamomile Hand Soap ($3.99 for 17 oz. from Trader Joe's):

If you are sensitive to aromatic hand products, and prefer unscented or fragrance-free, then you will want to skip these. However, if the thought of a lovely and refreshing citrus or lavender scent sounds perfect for you, then Trader Joe's Lavender Chamomile Hand Soap is definitely worthy of your consideration. It produces a satisfying lather, and yet it neither strips, nor dries out the hands. It doesn't overpower with the potential pungency of lavender because it is tempered by the chamomile, and it is uplifting, pleasant and delightful. Hands are left soft, nourished and lightly hydrated. Purchase Again? On my next trip to Trader Joe's!

Bisous de Provence Lemon Verbena Triple Milled Soap ($3.99 for 7 oz. bar from Trader Joe's): If you love high quality French milled soaps, and you don't want to spend a fortune, then you really must try this beautiful soap from Trader Joe's. This luxurious, and delectably scented soap, which is made in France, costs a mere $3.99 for a 7 oz. bar. It boasts a wonderful rich lather, it smells utterly divine and it makes an overall excellent hand soap or body bar. If you shop at Trader Joe's, I highly recommend trying this wonderful bar! Purchase Again? On my next trip to Trader Joe's!

Spongellé Hand Cream in French Lavender ($21.00 for 2 oz. from Spongellé):  Spongellé Hand Creams are the perfect antidote for dry hands, and I have used their hand creams for quite a few years now. Spongellé Hand Creams are available in 8 delightfully fragrant scents, and they offer serious hydration. They feature ingredients such as Hyaluronic Acid, Shea Butter, Argan Oil and Macademia Seed Oil that deeply moisturize and heal chapped hands, and the Hyaluronic Acid retains moisture and plumps fine lines. After using these hand creams, my poor chapped hands are left soft, smooth, nourished, hydrated and luminous! French Lavender notes: Top: Hesperides. Middle: Tea Rose, Amber. Base: Lavender Tea, Spicy, Woody. Purchase Again? I have other scents from them, but I would definitely buy this again in the future.

Herbatint Permanent Haircolor Gel in Light Golden Chestnut 5D ($17.49 from Herbatint, Amazon, iHerb, Walmart and Swanson):  For many years I used drugstore brand at-home hair dyes, but the last couple of times that I did I noticed that my scalp became dry and irritated. I decided to try something a little different, and I kept seeing Herbatint Permanent Hair Color Gel, and I decided to try it. This Italian brand, founded in 1970, is cruelty-free, vegan and it has a wide range of colors from which to choose. I have naturally curly dark brown hair that naturally lightens up in the summer, and therefore during the cooler months I tried their Light Chestnut 5N, and for the summer I tried their Light Golden Chestnut 5D, and both are stunning shades.

I mixed the hair color gel and the developer until it became a thick gel that was uniform in color. I carefully brushed it from roots to tips and then left it on for 40 minutes. This formula was tested on sensitive skin, and it definitely did not irritate, burn or tingle my scalp. I rinsed it out after 40 minutes and then applied their wonderful Royal Cream Conditioner– which comes with the hair color. This conditioner is lightweight and yet incredibly emollient and moisturizing. When I was done my hair was uniformly a gorgeous chestnut shade, but it was darker than on the box since my hair was quite dark to start with. 

This formula neither dries out my scalp, nor my hair, and the color lasts for a few months before I need a touch up.

Herbatint encourages mixing shades to customize your hair color, and they also suggest that you can mix up just a small amount if you only need to do root-touch up. Whether you have any grey hair you seek to cover, or just roots that differ from the rest of your color, then just doing a root touch-up makes a lot of sense. I don't have much grey hair, but there are some strands here and there, and this does an excellent job of covering them. Purchase Again? I have two more boxes, but will definitely purchase it again!

Kérastase Paris Discipline Fondant Fluidealiste ($50.00 for 6.8 oz. from Kérastase Paris, Amazon, Sephora): Smooth-in-motion conditioner makes hair extremely soft to the touch. This is a fantastic daily conditioner that leaves hair moisturized, soft, smooth, shiny and manageable. It fights frizz, nourishes the hair and gives it a lovely shine! Purchase Again? This is one of my all-time favorite conditioners, and I will eventually buy it again, but right now I have too many open conditioners to buy another one.

JR Liggett’s Original Formula Conditioner Bar ($14.99 for 1.75 oz. from JR Liggett's, Amazon, iHerb): This bar conditioner is moisturizing and frizz-fighting, but it doesn't weigh down hair or leave behind an oily residue. Hair is left soft, smooth and manageable, and it has a wonderful natural herbal aroma that is thoroughly pleasant and uplifting. Purchase Again? I would definitely use this conditioner again, but as I said above, I have far too many open conditioners to buy any for quite a long time.

OUAI Wave Spray ($30.00 for 6 oz. and $16.00 for 3 oz. and $28.00 for 4.9 oz. from OUAI, Sephora and Ulta): This is a wonderful non-sticky spray for effortless looking beachy waves. It has a weightless texture, it doesn't flake or make hair crunchy, s I run out.and it is suitable for all types of hair. While I have curly hair, this wonderful spray offers my hair touchable hold and enhances my curls. Purchase Again? YES, I  will definitely purchase a full size bottle!

Y'OUR Skin Night Cream (Available from Y'OUR Skincare and their Amazon Store): If you looking for a personalized skincare routine, then it is worth becoming acquainted with Y'OUR Skincare. I tried their custom skincare several years ago, and since that time they have reformulated their products. While thick and emollient, this night cream is remarkably lightweight and fast absorbing. It has a lovely texture that melts into the skin without leaving behind a greasy and unpleasant residue. After use, my skin is immediately soft, smooth, supple and ultra-moisturized. It is fragrance-free and it has no detectable aroma, whatsoever. Purchase Again? I have far too many open creams and lotions to justify purchasing more, but I really like this night cream a lot.

Y'OUR Skin Day Cream with SPF (Available from Y'OUR Skincare and their Amazon Store): This daytime face cream is lightweight, emollient and fast absorbing. It nourishes and moisturizes my skin all day long, and it leaves behind no greasy residue. It is fragrance-free and has no detectable aroma, and it leaves my skin soft, smooth and supple. Since it contains a sunscreen, I can skip an additional sunscreen. Though I still carry a sunscreen with me to reapply throughout the day. Purchase Again? I have far too many open creams and lotions to justify purchasing more, but I really like this day cream a lot.

Olivia Umma Glass Skin Strawberry & Tangerine Serum ($48.00 for 1.35 oz. from Olivia Umma, Amazon and Urban Outfitters):  is a Vitamin C serum that is made from strawberries and tangerines, and therefore it is rich in vitamins A, B and E. This serum is formulated to brighten and revitalize the skin, and therefore to help improve your skin tone. The serum has a lightweight gel-like texture that immediately melts into the skin without leaving behind a sticky or greasy residue. It has a very faint  fruity aroma, but it is neither assertive, nor long lasting. It leaves my skin brightened, luminous and hydrated. Purchase Again? I loved using this, and would happily use it again, but I need to use more of my open serums first!

Vitabrid C¹² Wrinkle Serum ($72.00 for 1.01 oz. from Vitabrid C¹² and Amazon): This wonderful antioxidant-rich serum offers skin incredible hydration and protection from free-radical damage. It boasts a blend of novel peptides that help boost collagen production, and the result is the appearance of firmer skin and plumped fine lines. Their antioxidant formula, which is infused with Niacinamide, Bisabolol and Citric Acid, helps to brighten the skin and fade hyperpigmentation. The serum is mid-weight, fast absorbing, non-sticky and fragrance-free, and it leaves my skin soft, supple, smooth and incredibly luminous. Purchase Again? I just opened a new bottle, it really is that good!

Overall Assessment: I somehow doubt that I will be able to use up this many products in October because I am currently using lots of products that are quite full, but who knows! What dod you use up, toss out, give away or return in September? Any serious discoveries or duds to report?

Vitabrid C¹² & dearcloud Picks to Treat Hyperpigmentation & Acne

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

If hyperpigmentation (such as sun spots from sun damage) or acne breakouts, and the scarring that can occur as a result, are conditions for which you might be seeking products, then Vitabrid C¹² and dearcloud have some solutions to ponder. When using products that help fade hyperpigmentation, it is very important to use a high SPF sunscreen daily since it will protect the skin and help to prevent hypopigmentation. While I am not a medical doctor, I always consult with my physician and have her evaluate any moles, spots and anything else that looks like it could potentially be cancerous or pre-cancerous– since treating those spots is the last thing that I want to do if they may require medical treatment. My doctor and dermatologist long ago told me never to go outside without wearing a high SPF sunscreen, and I routinely have my doctor evaluate the ingredients of some of the products that I use. It gives me peace of mind, and it is a proactive way for me to guard my health.

Vitabrid C¹² 12 Hour Vitamin C Soothing Serum ($32.00 from Vitabrid C¹² and Amazon): is a serum that is formulated to heal and treat sensitive blemish-prone skin. I tested it out when I had an unusual breakout– likely a reaction to a new skincare product– and not only did it calm the red inflamed skin, but it healed the pimples very quickly and effectively. What was perhaps the most interesting discovery is the fact that it healed a red and irritated patch of skin– unrelated to the breakout– and it left my skin hydrated and soft, with pronounced clarity and luminosity. This is a wonderful brightening serum in addition to a nourishing and healing treatment for sensitive skin. In addition to brightening the skin, it helps to fade hyperpigmentation.

Sometimes dark spots can be precancerous or cancerous, and you don't want to apply active ingredients to what could be more than just some discoloration from something like sun damage.

Vitabrid C¹²: The Mighty Serums that are Even Better Together

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

I started using Vitabrid C¹² skin and haircare products quite a few years ago, and I have been consistently impressed by the efficacy of their products. Two of my favorite products are the Vitabrid C¹² Dual Drop Serum and the Vitabrid C¹² Wrinkle Serum, and what I discovered was that while they were fantastic on their own that they were nothing short of extraordinary when used together. 

I have found that applying the Vitabrid C¹² Dual Drop Serum first, followed by the Vitabrid C¹² Wrinkle Serum delivers remarkable results. The former, which is lightweight and fast absorbing offers deep hydration, light plumping and an ethereal glow. Ingredients, such as Hyaluonic Acid, offer effective hydration with lasting effects, while the thicker antioxidant-rich Wrinkle Serum smooths the skin and evens skin tone while fading hyperpigmentation over time.

Vitabrid C¹² Dual Drop Serum ($62.00 for 1.02 oz. from Vitabrid and Amazon): This powerhouse of a serum has been conceived to help reduce the signs of aging by increasing collagen production, brightening the skin, refining the appearance of fine lines and providing profound hydration. Not only will it hydrate skin year round, but it leaves the complexion glowing and even in tone. Furthermore, this wondrous serum is lightweight, ultra fast absorbing and it leaves behind no greasy or sticky residue. I would not characterize this serum as fragrant, but there is the slightest clean aroma that vanishes once it sinks in– which is immediate.

According to Vitabrid C¹²,

A highly concentrated antioxidant serum that helps provide lasting hydration and reduce fine lines and wrinkles for a firmer-looking complexion.

This hydrating serum features a blend of proprietary peptide and vitamin C, and potent age-defying ingredients that helps diminish the appearance of sun spots and mouth lines for a more youthful-looking appearance.

It helps deliver a synergistic effect by combining skin-firming and face-brightening benefits with lasting hydration. Infused with Peptide Complex and six layers of moisture-binding Hyaluronic Acid Complex help lock in moisture promoting the look and feel of firmer, brighter, and deeply hydrated skin without leaving a greasy residue.

Directions: Apply an appropriate amount to your face and neck. Gently tap into the skin until it is well absorbed.

Ingredients: Water, Butylene Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Niacinamide, Glycereth-26, Beta-Glucan, Methyl Gluceth-20, Glycereth-25 PCA Isostearate, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Arginine, Allantoin, Ethylhexylglycerin, Disodium EDTA, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Adenosine, Melia Azadirachta Flower Extract, Ocimum Sanctum Leaf Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract, Glycerin, Adenium Obesum Leaf Cell Extract, Leontopodium Alpinum Callus Culture Extract, Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Extract, Corallina Officinalis Extract, Pelargonium Graveolens Flower Oil, Centella Asiatica Extract, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Zinc Oxide, Glutathione, Polygonum Cuspidatum Root Extract, Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract, Ascorbic Acid, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Pentylene Glycol, Glyceryl Stearate, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Resveratrol, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5, Caprylyl Glycol, Hyaluronic Acid, Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4.

Vitabrid C¹² Wrinkle Serum ($72.00 for 1.01 oz. from Vitabrid C¹² and Amazon): This wonderful antioxidant-rich serum offers skin incredible hydration and protection from free-radical damage. It boasts a blend of novel peptides that help boost collagen production, and the result is the appearance of firmer skin and plumped fine lines. Their antioxidant formula, which is infused with Niacinamide, Bisabolol and Citric Acid, helps to brighten the skin and fade hyperpigmentation. The serum is mid-weight, fast absorbing, non-sticky and fragrance-free, and it leaves my skin soft, supple, smooth and incredibly luminous.

According to  Vitabrid C¹²,

This exclusively developed weightless, highly effective serum is powered by our unique formulation Secret Code P-151™ designed to ensure ingredients are optimized for achieving optimum absorption with skin rejuvenating and advanced aging care.

This Wrinkle Serum is clinically proven to help target fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin discoloration and smooth skin texture while refining pores for firmer, resilient looking skin.

Directions: Dispense 2–3 pumps. Gently tap into your face and neck until absorbed.

Ingredients: Water, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Glycerin, Pentylene Glycol, Shea Butter Ethyl Esters, Niacinamide, Sorbitan Stearate, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Butylene Glycol, Sodium Gluconate, Xanthan Gum, Sorbityl Laurate, Citric Acid, Ethylhexylglycerin, Adenosine, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Bisabolol, Biotinoyl Tripeptide-1, Glutathione, Copper Tripeptide-1, Zinc Oxide, Ascorbic Acid, Glyceryl Stearate.

 

Overall Assessment: While these two serums are wonderful when used separately, I find that they are even better together. A+

Vitabrid Dual Mask: Age-Defying & Firming for the New Year

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

That all sheet masks are not created equal is a point that simply cannot be sufficiently underscored. Certainly there are sheet masks at every price, and that are formulated for a wide range of skincare concerns, but there are those that really distinguish themselves from the rest, and unsurprisingly the Vitabrid Dual Mask: Age Defying & Firming is among them, and there's is formulated for all types of skin.

One will note that Vitabrid is very generous with the amount of serum that they use to saturate their masks, and one must not forget to use all of the serum that pools at the bottom of the package. In fact, there is enough excess serum that one can slather it just about everywhere on their face, neck, décolleté, arms and hands.

The anti-aging mask is formulated to effectively deliver active Vitamin C and peptides to the skin that brightens, softens and smoothes it. It plumps the appearance of fine lines, brightens the appearance of discoloration and leaves the skin deeply moisturized. After about 20 minutes skin has a pronounced clarity and a dewy luminosity. The effects are immediate and obvious. This is the perfect mask to use before a special event, or whenever you want your skin to have an unmistakable healthy glow.

According to Vitabrid,

A hydrating, soothing and revitalizing mask that is drenched with 30mL of concentrated essence instantly helps plump the skin with moisture, leaving a firmer-looking complexion.

This hydrating sheet mask features a powerful blend of proprietary Peptibrid, line smoothing Peptide Complex and six layers of moisture-binding Hyaluronic Acid Complex that helps replenish and seal in moisture to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while proprietary Vitabrid CG and Stem Cell Complex help restore skin radiance. 

Using a hypoallergenic micro-sheet, this soft, non-stimulating microfiber sheet perfectly adheres to the skin and enhances the absorption of the active ingredients by enriching the essence between the extremely fine microfibers. Skin is left feeling softer, smoother, and more hydrated.

Features and Claims:

Effective Skin Delivery: PEPTIBRID and VITABRID, which are key ingredients, safely transfer deep into the skin while maintaining the active properties of peptides and vitamin C, enhancing skin regeneration, elasticity, moisturizing, soothing and whitening effects. As a new anti-aging solution with PEPTIBRID and VITABRID, they are unique ingredients that have been completed with the world-recognized DDS (Drug Delivery System) technology. Vitamin C and Peptides have been perfected with the unique biotechnological power of Vitabrid to deliver it deeply and more effectively.

Boosting Effect: PEPTIBRID and VITABRID give powerful boosting to maximize the effectiveness of other active ingredients. An evolved peptide delivery platform. PEPTIBRID (ICID name: Peptibrid), which improves the purity and penetration rate of peptides by improving the limits of 'Peptides', increases collagen synthesis and regeneration efficiency, but is limited in use due to stability and skin absorption.

Deep Hydration & Moisture Retention: Provides deep moisture to the skin and maintains a healthy moisture balance.

VITABRID: Advanced biomaterials that overcome the limitations of vitamin C, which is easily oxidized, water-soluble and difficult to transfer into the skin. Vitamin C penetrates deeper into the skin in an activated state, allowing it to act for more than 12 hours. (ICID entry name: Vitabrid CG).

For Sensitive Skin: It is composed of only safe ingredients, so it can also be used for sensitive skin.

Directions:
① Cleanse the face.
② Open the packet and gently unfold the mask. Place the sheet and correctly adjust on face.
③ Peel off the sheet after approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Lightly tap any remaining essence into the face and neck with fingertips.

Since the debut of FACE Brightening, this game-changing, revolutionary form of 12-hour active Vitamin C became a global skincare sensation. With over 5 million bottles sold since, Vitabrid C¹² received a multitude of questions inquiring what kind of serum should be mixed with this extraordinary powder. As a result, the brand started looking for a laboratory that could develop a serum providing the best effects when mixed with FACE Brightening.

Working with researchers from Oxford and Cambridge that specialized in cosmetic formulations, Vitabrid C¹² conducted more than four years of research to develop a serum that prevented the skin from aging. For this purpose, Vitabrid C12 started to create a formulation that not only complemented FACE Brightening but also sourced the best anti-aging ingredients from England, France, Switzerland, Sweden, Belgium, The Netherlands and more.

The result was the launch of Wrinkle Serum which the brand deems as one of the most effective anti-aging and anti-wrinkle serums in the current market. And now, this serum is paired with one of the best active Vitamin C powders in the world to create Vitabrid C12’s Wrinkle Serum Professional.

Vitabrid C¹² Hair Tonic Professional Set Revisited

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

Vitabrid C¹² Hair Tonic Professional Set is a wonderful product that I first tried back in 2019, and that I started using again recently. As noted back then, I do not have thinning hair, though I did shed a lot during the early pandemic because of the stress, but my skin, including my scalp, has been very dry this winter. Thankfully, this tonic has eliminated all scalp itchiness and dryness, and it has left my scalp moisturized, and given my hair more volume. It is formulated for all hair and scalp types.

According Vitabrid C¹²:

A 12-hour active vitamin C scalp and hair solution, powered by our unique patented technology that preserves pure vitamin C in layers of bio-friendly minerals, helps prevent hair shedding for stronger, denser looking hair. Specially formulated to help promote fuller, denser, healthier, thicker looking hair from roots to tips with highly concentrated 12-hour vitamin C. Soothes scalp and alleviates itchiness. Supplies moisture and nutrients to the scalp and hair. Reinvigorates the scalp after perming, dyeing, or seasonal changes. Created in Seoul, Vitabrid C12 is the only product in the world known to continuously deliver active, stabilized Vitamin C deep into the scalp for over 12 hours.

I am a serious fan of Vitabrid C¹² products, and two of my favorite products from this wonderful brand have been paired together in the Vitabrid C¹² Wrinkle Serum Professional 2-Piece Kit.

About the Vitabrid C¹² Wrinkle Serum Professional 2-Piece Kit:

What it is: This wrinkle essential kit features Wrinkle Serum, which visibly helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and Face Brightening, which continuously delivers vitamin C into the skin for over 12 hours to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for firmer looking skin. 

What is does: Wrinkle Serum uses our proprietary Peptibrid (enhanced delivery of skin rejuvenating peptide) and strategically chosen, highly potent Peptide Complex to help rejuvenate the skin while our innovative 12-hour active vitamin C help revitalize the skin. Pairing the revolutionary Wrinkle Serum and Face Brightening helps boost unmatched wrinkle-fighting and skin revitalizing benefits. 

Who it’s for: All skin types.

Formulated Without: Paraben-free; sulfate-free; phthalate-free; silicone-free; mineral oil-free; fragrance-free.

Vitabrid C¹² Wrinkle Serum is a wonderful antioxidant-rich serum offers skin incredible hydration and protection from free-radical damage. It boasts a blend of novel peptides that help boost collagen production, and the result is the appearance of firmer skin and plumped fine lines. Their antioxidant formula, which is infused with Niacinamide, Bisabolol and Citric Acid, helps to brighten the skin and fade hyperpigmentation. The serum is mid-weight, fast absorbing, non-sticky and fragrance-free, and it leaves my skin soft, supple, smooth and incredibly luminous.

According to  Vitabrid C¹²,

Vitabrid C¹²’s unique “Secret Code P-151” enhances the skin’s ability to absorb its novel peptides to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while revitalizing for firmer looking, vibrant skin.

Featuring our unique DPES (Drug Permeation Enhancement System), Peptibrid’s enhanced delivery of Pal-GHK, enhances skin absorption up to 51%, signaling the skin to promote collagen production while inhibiting a collagen breakdown enzyme (MMP-1; collagenese) by 6 times more effective than the historical Pal-GHK.

Features and Claims:

Reduces fine lines & wrinkles: Contains Secret Code P-151, our unique blend that helps enhance delivery of novel peptides to boost collagen production for firmer & rejuvenated looking skin

Boosts antioxidant benefits: Infused with Niacinamide and Bisabolol, this serum helps reduce skin discoloration while revitalizing skin

Safe, non-fragrance formula: Specially formulated with a biomimetic emulsifier that provides long-lasting hydration benefits while gentle preservative ingredients make the formula safe to use for every skin type

Benefits: This perfectly blended combination has unlocked the skin’s ability to effectively absorb its novel peptides to further promote collagen, increase skin firmness and elasticity, reduce the appearance of fine lines to creases, maintain moisture, and even out pigmentation for full-scale skin rejuvenation.

Free of: Fragrance, Parabens, Silicones, Mineral Oil, PEG’s, Colorants, Petrolatum and Alcohol.

Ingredients: Water, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Glycerin, Pentylene Glycol, Shea Butter Ethyl Esters, Niacinamide, Sorbitan Stearate, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Butylene Glycol, Sodium Gluconate, Xanthan Gum, Sorbityl Laurate, Citric Acid, Ethylhexylglycerin, Adenosine, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Bisabolol, Biotinoyl Tripeptide-1, Glutathione, Copper Tripeptide-1, Zinc Oxide, Ascorbic Acid, Glyceryl Stearate.

Vitabrid C¹² FACE Brightening Powder is an effective and concentrated Vitamin C-based powder that you simply mix into your favorite serum or moisturizer for brighter, firmer and more luminous skin. It has no scent, no detectable texture, and it immediately dissolves when added to your serum, cream or lotion. To use, I simply shake a small amount into my palm, but if you prefer to carefully measure the amount that you use, they do provide a small scoop for your convenience.

This is probably the easiest way to introduce topical Vitamin C into your skincare routine, and unlike liquid-based Vitamin C Serums, this powder form remains more stable. Vitabrid C¹² utilizes their proprietary form of Vitamin C, that is time-released over a period of 12 hours, and the longer that you use it the more benefits that you see. I immediately noticed a brightening effect and increased luminosity, but after using it for a few weeks, I also noted that my skin appeared more even in tone, fine lines were softened and my skin looked fresh and healthy.

My skin, which can be sensitive at times, had no adverse reaction to the high concentration of topical Vitamin C, nor did I experience any drying whatsoever.

According to Vitabrid C¹²,

Vitabrid C¹²’s FACE Brightening Powder releases a proprietary form of active vitamin C into the skin over the course of 12 hours for a firmer, healthier, and more luminous complexion. Skin looks and feels revitalized, while the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles is diminished.

Containing its breakthrough ingredient, Vitabrid CG, this is a brand-new Vitamin C complex, certified as a new material by the International Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary. This revolutionary discovery stores and preserves active Vitamin C within skin-friendly mineral layers. Once applied, it releases active Vitamin C continuously for over 12 hours, permeating through the skin layers down to the dermis. Simply mix the FACE Brightening Powder with water or combine it with a skincare product of your choice (any serum, essence, cream or toner) for a powerful beauty booster.

Vitamin C is known to make skin healthy and radiant by neutralizing the damaging effects of free-radical activity from sun, stress, and pollution, and repairing visible signs of aging. As a highly potent, transdermal Vitamin C powder, it helps brighten, reducing the appearance of melanin for a clearer, more even complexion. With twice daily use in the AM and PM, skin is also shown to maintain a vibrant and firm texture as the powder minimizes fine lines and wrinkles by promoting collagen production.The result is a scientifically driven booster for nourished and glowing skin with natural radiance.

Ingredients: Ascorbic Acid, Zinc Oxide, Glyceryl Stearate, Acetyl Glucosamine, Niacinamide, Serine, Betaine, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Adenosine, Water, Allantoin.

Overall Assessment: These are amazing products individually, but together they are a real game changer.
