An Easy Brightening Skincare Routine for Glowing Spring Skin
Spring is the season of renewal, making it the perfect time begin a brightening skincare routine for glowing skin all year round.
Increasing skin cell turnover is the key to getting brighter skin. Vitamin C and retinoids are both clinically proven ingredients for reducing the appearance of dark spots, promoting more even skin texture and tone, and revealing healthy, glowing
We created an easy-to-follow skincare routine featuring these two dermatologist-recommended ingredients for visibly smooth, even-toned, glowing skin.
Step 1: Antioxidant Cleansing Oil
Gently cleanse while removing every trace of makeup with Antioxidant Cleansing Oil. This light and silky cleansing oil effortlessly dissolves impurities and makeup while adding a burst of squalane-fueled hydration. Meanwhile, nourishing antioxidants target stress and signs of aging, leaving the skin healthy, radiant, and nourished.

Step 2: BHA Pore-Minimizing Toner
Balance your skin and prepare it to receive moisture with BHA Pore-Minimizing Toner. Our alcohol-free toner uses white willowbark extract—a natural, oil-soluble beta hydroxy acid - to gently but powerfully exfoliate and decongest pores. Meanwhile, caviar lime extract works its alpha hydroxy magic to gently exfoliate dead cells from the surface of your skin. All this happens without any drying or over-stripping thanks to our sugarcane-derived squalane, which balances the skin and leaves it smooth and hydrated.

Step 3: Treat
AM Treatment: Vitamin C Dark Spot Serum
During your morning routine, massage a small amount of Vitamin C Dark Spot Serum into your skin after cleansing. This nourishing serum blends a powerful dose of 10% vitamin C with white shiitake mushroom extract. When this high concentration of vitamin C is paired with this discoloration-correcting plant extract, it boosts vitamin C’s ability to powerfully and visibly reduce the appearance of established dark spots while also preventing new ones from forming.
PM Treatment: Retinol Night Serum
Use our groundbreaking Retinol Night Serum as the treatment step in your evening routine. Designed specifically to deliver the benefits of retinoids while minimizing irritation, our innovative retinol serum visibly improves the look of fine lines and wrinkles, discoloration, and skin texture -- all without redness and flaking.

Step 4: Vitamin C Rose Moisturizer
Our Vitamin C Rose Moisturizer packs a powerful one-two punch of Vitamin C and fermented lemon peel to dramatically reduce the appearance of dark spots while also targeting fine lines and wrinkles. It features our unique and trusted form of shelf-stable vitamin C called tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate (THD) which is know for its outstanding ability to penetrate the skin and absorb quickly. In consumer surveys, 100% of participants saw increased radiance and visible improvement in fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots with regular use.

Step 5: Vitamin C Rose Oil
Lock in your skincare while creating instant glow by applying a few drops of our Vitamin C Rose Oil as the final step in your routine. In our cult-favorite facial oil, vitamin C teams up with an exclusive blend of sugarcane-derived squalane, Chios crystal oil, and Damascus rose extract to deliver a broad range of balanced benefits–namely hydration, increased radiance, and a boost of firmness. We also use THD as our form of vitamin C in this formula as it is uniquely oil-soluble. This way, you get the benefits of an oil alongside next-level glow.
