First Light Brightening Oil Serum

Description

Live Botanical First Light Brightening Oil Serum is a concentrated, essential oil-free facial oil designed to brighten, nourish and support skin vitality. Suitable for most skin types, including sensitive, acne-prone and mature skin, the cushiony, mid-weight formula absorbs easily and leaves skin with a soft, velvety finish.

Astaxanthin and a 10% concentration of tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, a stable vitamin C derivative, provide antioxidant support while promoting a brighter, more even tone. Nutrient-rich seaberry, cranberry, raspberry, calendula and carrot complement a plant-based complex of ceramides, pomegranate sterols and essential fatty acids to support the skin barrier and lasting hydration, leaving skin feeling supple and visibly radiant.

HOW TO USE IT

Apply a thin layer over the face, focusing on areas with visible fine lines or dark marks. Gently massage and press into the skin to encourage absorption. Use morning and evening after water-based skincare steps. It may also be applied around the eye area, used on targeted areas of discoloration, or mixed into moisturizer.
