Details

A night-time hydroxy acid serum for skin that looks congested, dull or uneven in tone and texture. It goes on after cleansing and before your night cream.

A RATIONALE complex of hydroxy acids, including salicylic and lactic acid, refines the look of texture and clarity. A supporting blend of botanical extracts, among them bilberry, sugar cane and sugar maple, helps tone look more even, for a clearer, more radiant-looking complexion.

Facialist's note: shake gently, then smooth 2–3 drops over face, neck and décolletage each evening, avoiding the eye area. Wear SPF the next morning.
